I'm not a fan of Asa, but overall its a pretty good draft.

Can't wait to see Asa (and Djurisic) in Summer League.

ESPN liked the pull.
Liam McNeeley has a higher ceiling.
Rasheer Fleming has a higher floor.

Asa seems like a solid addition as a rim running, rebounding tweener to add to the collection of long, athletic forwards we now have.

Liam may very well end up being the better talent but there is no proof of that right now.

Once Kyle Korver works with Asa on his range and 3-point shooting Asa's value greatly increases. Liam needs to improve his own range.

Asa will become a 34% shooter from three once he receives consistent minutes. We have a young big with a motor and he fills a big hole. With the injury bug that constantly appeara for us Asa will need to be ready to work.

He looks great in the new jersey.

He instantly upgrades our bench.
