OR…Jeffie just runs 27-28 with 4 core guys and a plethora of picks from the last 3 drafts… :nonono:

Will there be? With the new lottery rules teams might not blow things up and do hard resets like they used to do. I'm not exactly sure how all this will affect the trade market, but it might be a lot harder to find teams willing to trade high impact star players for just a bunch of picks without getting any high impact players back.

Also like Holt's teammate Kharchenkov. Poor man's Franz Wagner.

Amillion Bugs probably the best, but my personal favorite is Peteris Pinnis.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Branch is a guy to target if we luck into a Top 3 pick

Couple of guys I'm keeping an eye on this year. Both transferred to schools with higher caliber competition. Will be interested in particular to see how Michael Malone uses Neo at UNC.

Stefan Vaaks (transfer from Providence)


Neo Avdalas (transfer from Virginia Tech)

This is such a weak ass draft.

Yep, at least in terms of game changing talent near the top of the draft. meanwhile 2028 looks like it’ll be crazy with JBB and others. We are always a year off when it comes to tanking

Anyone got any insight on stokes almost getting expelled in highschool, and being a knucklehead with bad grades. Ive read that somewhere and if theres any truth to it i wouldn't want him if we magically landed the 1st pick and hes the top guy on the board. I dont want a melo/miles mindmeld mental midget idiot as our next guy.

I take it you enjoy this current team. A roster full of nerds.

Stop it Jeff.

LaMelo may have been an immature goofball, but I never heard of him getting into fights, never mind with his coaches. We obviously can't screw up this draft, do the legwork.
