Lowry tough, Powell athleticism

Kid is a crazy athlete, a DAWG on defense, and he can shoot the 3.

Love this pick.


But what's his downside? Why was he a second rounder?

I could see us getting cardwell undrafted as our big. Or maybe Chomche is further along than we think? :lol:

A 6'2" SG/SF after taking a 6'6" PF. Are they just building a G-League team?

Masai and Bobby must have been traumatized by their Dick selection and IQ trade :lol:

Screw it. At least we'll hit ~30% of our 3s; our opponents aren't going to get a shot up with the way these guys are building this team

I think thats where RJ comes into play. They will trade him to take a backup c and free up some cap space. So it would need to be a team, that has capspace to offer.



Who’s on the trade block on who would want to take RJ? Please no Alex Len

Portland has 2 centres on expiring contracts. Do you fancy Deandre Ayton? Robert Williams?

Under 6"2 without shoes but has close to a 6"8 wingspan and very physically strong and a good athlete. Overaged and overlooked, basically a Raptors type pick.

y'all liked lowry? we're gonna draft a whole roster full of those guys :lol:


Physically he sounds like a Norm type - short but long wingspan. His playstyle is yeah more like Shead, Lowry.

Martin doesn't seem like a PG, his high for his collegiate career was 2.2 APG in a year

Older. Honestly feels more like a 6'1 small forward than a point. But who knows, his team had Walter Clayton so maybe he was just filling the gaps.

I think the Raps loved having the intensity and internal competition at the guard spot that they had at the beginning of last year with IQ, Shead and Davion. This just kind of replaces Davion.

Is dude Norm Powell-esque?


Think Josh Okogie/Deanthony Melton. Kid is a hawk on defense, athletic, and he can shoot the 3.

This is not an ideal roster. Too too many wings and not enough playing time
