Toohey is headed to The Dubs but you wouldn't know it with how ham fisted and confusing manner in how NBA and ESPN have been covering the picks.

Here’s something silly - 23 picks into the 2nd round, only 2 picks so far have been teams making picks using their own picks that haven’t been traded. The other 21 picks have been traded at some point

45% from deep, fits the mold of that team. Everyone was shooting lights out on their Cinderella tour.

Perhaps he'll carve out a role. I'm apprehensive because he only played a couple years of D1 ball.

It reminds me of the WNBA draft. It's low budget quality

Dink Pate chose to pass on college to go to the G-League ignite, didn't do well there, team folded, then played in the G-League again for Mexico City and now dude is going to have to grind out a career. He is another reason NIL is a good thing because he clearly hasn't been ready for the pro-game yet.

Yeah, it feels weird to criticize a 55th pick, but a 5th year senior bench player from Liberty?

Peter is a crazy athlete too. He threw down some wild dunks for Liberty. The Pacers have a similar athlete who's been on a two-way in Quentin Jackson (albeit he is much older).

I prefer old style , both rounds on the same day even if the whole thing lasts 5-6 hours
