I was right there with you on the both of them.....So many on the board trashed talked Queen it was funny to me because i knew he would be good while everyone was loud and wrong about him, Everyone wanted Carter Bryant, Noa Essengue, Khaman Maluach....I liked CMB more than them 3 But me personally i would have picked both Queen/Coward before CMB.....But CMB still has time to show he was the right pick for us at 9 hopefully.


I stood on business calling Khaman overrated. He has barely played so who knows, but there was one dude saying he should be a top 3 pick because of his wingspan and catch radius :lol:

There's an interesting recent episode of that Pablo podcast regarding NBA gambling on youtube that is easy to find. Interesting 'State of the league' type of discussion. Gambling, tanking, etc.

Sad to have a wasted season at this stage of his career, and it's not like they'd trade him to a contender. He just has to wait a whole year for Hali to make them relevant again. Even then they'll have to replace Turner at the C

he's won a championship, made all star teams, made the finals last year and got his bag.
even chris paul doesn't have a championship.
he's got nothing left to prove. i don't feel bad for him at all. i feel bad for cp3

coward wasn't exactly an unknown quantity but he's also a senior so some of this was expected. cmb is 2 years younger and his offensive game is more developed than originally advertised.
queen will be interesting to follow.

I will admit if I'm wrong but I don't think Queen is starting 5 material on a winning team at the 5. Offensively gifted but defensively challenged. He needs the improve his 3pt shot also.

he hasn't played much in the NBA and he may never. who knows. people have said the same thing about passing Suggs at the time of the draft and look how that turned out.

Pelicans with another loss. Queen got destroyed defensively. I still can’t believe the Pelicans traded that pick. Maybe they don’t think this upcoming draft is as good as people think it is.

Magic have been playing so much better with Banchero out, makes you wonder if they might have to move him down the road.
