Did I hear Jalen correctly in saying that our bigs only made 11 3s last season? That can't be right.

YES I am ok with Aaron White! 6'9 Rebounds well, plays solid D, high energy effort guy, He can stretch the floor a bit too.

He was taken awhile ago.

Oh. I checked out for about 20 picks. Just came back.

Don't know how Ted justifies employing a baboon for a GM.

I watched a lot of Big 10 hoops this year as a Md fan and Aaron White is kind if a poor man's Dekker. Good player with some range and excellent passer. Runs the floor well. He needs about 10 pounds to not get dominated in the post but he can stretch defenses. Nothing special but should make the team.

Aaron White is aptly named

That's about the whitest guy I've ever seen in the NBA.

He might only be counting starting bigs? because Drew made 23 last year and I know he's not counting PP.

If Drew and Pierce don't count, then how on Earth did we even make 11? Nene had 1, IIRC. Hump had no more than 1.

When they announced the trade, all I could think of was Blatche/Young/McGee. Guys that all represented value when we got them, and athleticism (well in some instances). Just felt like a call back to picks we made almost a decade ago.

Little concerned on the write up from cbs, i think cbs anyway, really unpleasant compared to Bilas and others.

Still somewhat okay with the pick, but Portis would have been the guy I'd have taken. Still, two future second rounders to move up into position for Portis, but we get Oubre? That was virtually nothing. Crazy.

I think he makes the team. He has real game.

I mean Jiteh was right there...so was Woods...and Alexander...all seem to have more upside....but you know, EG has to continue being a dumpster fire of a GM.

hands11 · Post #2098 » by **hands11** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 3:58 am

And there goes Harvey...

gambitx777 · Post #2099 » by **gambitx777** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 3:58 am

Hold on, Aaron white IMO was a smarter pick than Obre. High character energy big with range, can rebound, and plays hard D. I think that Draft DX was just making a comment, I feel like this kid can make the team.
