I'm very impressed with Kon. He seemed like he did everything well in college, but I dinged him for his speed and athleticism. His game is translating very well.

He's got size and he can shoot the rock. The rest comes down to conditioning his body. I missed on him too due to him looking like a goofy white boy. I won't do that again.

Gotta trust the intangibles and BBIQ. Kon was one of the smartest players in the draft basketball wise.

I thought Kon was a definite quality shooter and secondary playmaker at least. He and VJ along with Cooper were the highest floored players in the draft for me. Kon due to those attributes, Coop and VJ due to defense, athleticism and slashing ability... They've all got more in their bags

Ace´s first start and he had a nice game with 20 points and 4 rebounds.

Hes gonna be pretty good( atleast on offense), but not in Peterson and Dybantsa´s level ( i think he will be better than Boozer). Dumb GM, should have put a top 3 protection on the pick lol

I think Queen will be very good if he builds up his body. He’s already done a nice job of slimming down since college but now he needs to add muscle. He’ll be a huge matchup problem once he can play bully ball against smaller defenders.

Queen has good instincts on defense but he's not long enough to really be a shot blocker. His value will be an offensive hub a la Sengun/Jokic. Definitely needs some time to get there though. Such a smart and naturally gifted player; body aint there yet.

I still think the trade was bad, but I think Queen is a stud.

Queen definitely skilled... Has to be a hustle guy that draws charges and does vertical jumps in the paint to help out defensively. Great draft

I’m not too sold on Queen. His unorthodox moves catch bigs off guard now, but once the scouting report settles in, he’s not that tough to handle. He doesn’t have the size, strength, or elite touch that makes him hard to defend,& he’s a poor rim protector on top of it
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.
