Defense at last. Guess there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Re: 2025 General Draft Discussion 2
Like Kon, Sion is a guy we could've traded back for. Thiero should've been the move there. Better be a backup big on deck.

he does sound like a very solid pick.
Sion James is 6’6” and 220 pounds. He shot 41.3% from three this year. He has a 2.5 assist-to-turnover ratio. He’s able to get downhill and finish above the rim. On defense, his frame, length, and intellect enable him to impact the game in a variety of ways, whether he’s on the ball or away from it. The role player you want is a guy who does the things that Sion James does. His low volume from three-point range and suboptimal usage rates are certainly cause for concern. But as I always say, at a certain point in the draft, you have to bet on some sort of outlier result. When the second round rolls around, you could bet on a lot worse than a strong, savvy, skilled player like Sion James.

Re: 2025 General Draft Discussion 2
I love the pick. Maybe my favorite of the bunch for value. He may be a good center.

He’s built like a linebacker. Can be a Dort type player.

Re: 2025 General Draft Discussion 2
Good pick and roll guy and obviously a dunker. Should pair well with the Melo/kon/miller in oops and pnr.
