One thing that popped out last night is how incredibly ambidextrous he was. At first he was dribbling and driving with ease with his left i thought he was a natural lefty at times lol.

Miami should definitely be positioned, with a top 10 pick, to walk away from this draft with a starting caliber guard that can run or at least boost the offense. BPA and upside should still be priority factors, of course.

5 of my current top 10 NBA prospects for this draft are guards.

This is a really great sign for us considering guard is by far one of our biggest weaknesses and needs.

Good job Greg we had some good dialogue going

Always think about nicknames with players.

Kasparas is a tough one.

You can call them the Two Ghosts. One because of his name and the other because of his box score.

well the dude has legit highlight reel material... but take away all the fancy passes, and circus stuff under the basket....and look at how fast he shoots or passes....he is the anti Tyler Herro, or anti Jimmy Butler.

I got a soft spot for dudes who pull the trigger, or get rid of the ball fast. So at least this guy has that going for him.


On the Down side...he reminds me a bit of year 3 Duncan...dude has a ton of company around him on the permitter. His highlight reel shows him hitting contested shots....but lord knows how many of those he missed. Do not see alot of "getting open"on the perimeter.


This should be a riot on Sioux Falls...he will get the ball in his hand and we should get to see him run a whole ton of offense. I was really hoping for Saraf...but I guess this dude is cool too.



Well, one was undrafted and the other was picked to go as high as 9th. So, I'm not that worried this kid will be as bad as Duncan. Let's hope he develops fast

We also have Keshad Johnson. Will probably be the beneficiary of a lot of easy dunks from Kasparas

CBS absolutely loves this pick.

Alright, it’s hard not to get hyped about Jakucionis after seeing this video. Those guys were absolutely glazing the Heat for this pick :lol:

Pumped to see Kaspar, Pelle, Keshad and Ware in SL soon. I doubt JJJ plays, even though he probably should.

Can't wait to field a Kaspar, Herro, Jovic, Bam & Ware "big" lineup! Hope that is our 2025-2026 starting lineup ... defense be damned :lol:

Play with Bam? Share the ball?

Get to the end of the bench with JJJ. Highsmith and Rozier have seniority rook :lol:
