Death, Taxes, and NBA Fans falling in love with every crop of new players

It might be true in this case. Boozer, AJ, and Peterson have been extremely productive. Plus a respectable group of sophomores and upperclassmen, because of NIL.

NIL is “destroying” college football and making college basketball relevant again. Praise Jesus.

Caleb Wilson with 22 16 6 and great defense tonight vs a game FSU team. How I'd love to pick around 4 or 5 to have a shot at him in the draft.

I think we all would mate. Unless we get some lotto luck it’s still just dream

Without any trades etc I presume we finish around the 10-14 range(even with Giddey out for a few weeks)

We can pretend that AKME has a brain tho right. Maybe

A Buzelis/Wilson forward combo would be nice.

We will be dreaming about top 4 pick again, but as always will have to settle with pick between 11-14 and I hope Yaxel will be there for us. Yexal to Bulls at #11 or #12 best case scenario I can imagine.

That New Orleans trade would've been nice.

Bittle and Olbrich aren't similar at all.

This kid may be the perfect player between Giddey and Buz.

Flemings has likely played himself out of our draft range unless we get lucky and move up.

It's shaping up to be a good draft for guards though. Flemings, Philon, Acuff, Stirtz, Tanner, etc.
