It's also a signal of faith in the current forward group on the roster, I'd say.

It's solid value IF IF IF you aren't sold on any player at 31.

It's not about being not sold about 31, but if you think there's not a significant drop-off in the top six players available. That's a very real possibility imo.

Welp , Fleming won’t be there at 36 but you never know.Tyrese Proctor or kam jones? Which teams do the future seconds originally belong to?
I knew a future first wasnt happening :lol: those Toronto first offers from last years 31st pick are fake news.

I love that trade for Minnesota. Replenishing two seconds at the cost of dropping five slots is great value.

If we can steal Thiero or Penda, its highway robbery.

DISGRACEFUL

Can't wait to see which Josh Minott level player we draft now.
If we dont keep trading down until the pick is just cash again.

SO EXCITED to have 3 of my favorite picks in the draft (Fleming, Reyanud, Kalkbrenner) available at 31 and zero chance we pick any of them.

I will give you credit for one thing. When you have an opinion, you will fight to the death for it!

For me, I could live with Fleming, but want nothing to do with Reynaud or Kalk...

You can never have too many Minotts Millers and Moores.

Minotts and Millers and Moores OH MY!

Who wants to draft a guy with mid 1st round talent or a plug and play backup center anyway.

There are 2nd round draft picks with 1st round value and 2nd round picks that are little better than undrafted free agents.
And we chose 3 of the latter over one of the former.

I don’t know. Clearly based on the Wolves draft board this is true, but consensus says that there are only 2-3 guys that had first round value left.

It's kind of like of like the team that says they have 2 or 3 QBs. If you say that you really have no QBs. If we say we like 6 about the same there isn't one we like very much.

Miller has shown nothing though, still awkward on the court lol if he doesn’t dominate in his third summer league time to give up. It was a mistake.

I wouldn’t be opposed to double dipping on another big man at 36. I think that’s clearly the deepest position at this point in the draft.

There’s like 4-5 players worth anything that are left. Fleming was one. This draft was not deep at all. :lol: lets hope Charlotte continues to suck at drafting.
