OKC on the clock. They're supposed to be high on your boy Payne.

This! D-wades leaving MIA has a bunch of nobody's and Winslow... PAY DRAGIC.

Negative. If we were trying to make him Dirk, then sure, but Phil clued everybody in when he referenced Pau and Porzee himself has said he sees himself as a 4 right now.

They're gonna throw his ass down low. The 3 will be a weapon, not the foundation for his game. They're going to build him inside out.

I'm for whatever. I like the kid, not as much as I liked the top 3 but I'll give him a chance.

I watched a bunch of videos on him. I don't remember the last time I saw someone as mobile as he is for his size. And based off the limited footage, he can score in a variety of ways including running off of screens, pick and pops, turnarounds, etc.

If his work ethic is as good as advertised, he could end up being a monster down the road. He's a Knick now, so I'll be rooting for him from this point forward.

The biggest concern I've had about him is injuries. He needs a serious training regimen to avoid the knee and feet injury of most lanky and mobile 7 footers.

Booker will be the biggest bust in this draft. Such an overrated shooter

Future 1st? Really Bucks?
Would've gave them Calderon for a Five Guys Burger

Because given the Anthony-Isiah-Dolan factor, Phil may not have 3 years to turn this team around.

Well I don't know what your definition of "turn this team around" is, but if it's to make the playoffs, they can meet that expectation as early as next year if they end up doing well during the FA period.

But if you mean going to the finals or winning a championship? I doubt we'll be able to accomplish that in such a short period of time, even if we ended up picking Towns.

I have this image of the Bucks putting Vasquez in an astronaut suit and shooting him off in a SpaceX rocket.
