Re: 2025 NBA Draft Thread 2.0
I don't see it with him. Seems like a lot to give up to get this guy...
admittedly, I don't know a lot about him... but stats don't look great, I don't see any bounce, and while he has good size, he seems slow for a wing.

Re: 2025 NBA Draft Thread 2.0
Penda was the highest rated player available on Sam Vecenie's board as well.

Re: 2025 NBA Draft Thread 2.0
I wanted Koby Brea, Maxime Raynaud or Ryan Kalkbrenner
I hope Noah Penda pans out as he was not on my board.

Re: 2025 NBA Draft Thread 2.0
I dont know much about Penda, but I see the fit. More important is that we wanted a guy and went and got him. Sounds like a potential JI replacement if he works out.

I think I get why we always trade out the 2nd round.

Re: 2025 NBA Draft Thread 2.0
Penda is a lot like Boris Diaw.
A SF/PF type who can dribble, pass and defend.
Gotta develop the jumper, but he's very skilled. High BBIQ.

Re: 2025 NBA Draft Thread 2.0
It's honestly just a second round pick, might work out, might not, but he won't see the floor at all this season unless there's injuries.
Not changing this Sig until the Orlando Magic win a championship (Technically Started 1-30-08)

You could say this about reacting to literally any pick good or bad.
