If he has his brother's tenacity in him, I wouldn't complain here.

Just a little small like Chris Paul was in college.

CP3 was great in spite of his smaller stature. I have a very tough time coming around on players that small, even if they are great shooters, passers or whatever.


But he is more ready to play. McDonough passed on Brunson for the French kid I cannot remember.


If you can get a player, lower ceiling, high floor maybe. Dare I say TJ McConnell that just is positive

I am willing to be a bit more conservative for a solid steady PG presence

I mean, we already had a far more ready, experienced PG with a smaller stature just this past season.....I'm not ready to run that tape again

We can get a PG in free agency. Not sure about picking one.

Best available is often the best move. It also gives us flexibility in the event another team that wants him to use that as a basis for additional picks or players.

If he's still there, Reynaud. If not, Proctor or Brea wouldn't be a bad choice. Not that we need another shooter, but Brea has a nice stroke and also has size. Doesn't hurt he's played at Kentucky, either.

He's our tank commander.

I wonder how happy he is going to be even with this influx of young players we realistically still aren't a playoff team for at least another couple years.
