Tim Reynolds swung and missed with that prediction the pick would be traded.
Feels like he hasn't broken any real news in years. Shame.

Re: **NBA Draft Discussion 2025**
Post-Draft Analysis
Chaotic drafts like this one always produce a surprising fall or two. In this case, it was Jakucionis, a player we rated as a top-10 talent. Each of the top 20 slots viewed as potential landing spots chose to go in different directions, sending him into temporary free fall before finding a home with the Heat. This is excellent value for Miami, which could use a playmaking guard, and it was certainly a surprise to see him still available. The fact that he fell this far in the first place is arguably a travesty, and the Heat should be quite pleased with how this turned out. Jakucionis' pick-and-roll savvy and toughness should fit in nicely here, and there might be several teams regretting passing on him a year or two from now. -- Jeremy Woo

Because that same sentence describes the worst pick we had in a while, Justise. I want us to work out the guy we are drafting round 1.
The story of Winslow is a tale of a dude broken by Spo. 6’6 on a 215 frame (soaking wet) playing center and PF. Ruined his career with injuries and he lost his time on development.
Nah not really. He just REALLY bad touch. He never could figure out how to shoot or finish in the rim. Ain't no place in the league for undersized wings who can't shoot or finish.
Spo playing him center didn't help with his injuries. But Spo ain't the reason his career didn't work out
Oreon plz, I was telling a tale.
OP for NBA FT record

Could run with that but someone is going to have to take a shot.

Re: **NBA Draft Discussion 2025**
Looks like he's got some Goran's game in him. Ya, not as good as Goran ik. IF he can be an average NBA floor general (altho turnovers concern me rn) I really like the pick

CBS absolutely loves this pick.
I really like this guy Adam Finklestein. He broke the WCJ news this week.
