No highlights?

Watching Giles move in spots during this video, looks a little slow

While I'm not a draft head, excited for this draft. Glad we'll be apart of it

i didnt know he only played 4 min with 0 0 0 0 0 across the board on 0 for 1 shooting. But now knowing he is playing i am definitely watching Dukes next game.

Isnt Isaac like the perfect guy if you stay in the bottom top10 range? stretchy PF with maybe untapped potential that can do some on defense, I like MBridges better but he is less of a shooter and with Winslow on the roster, dunno how that'd go.

I probably wasn't very fair on my assessment of DSJ. In almost any other draft class he'd go top 4 but this one just has so many great options that it's easy to lose interest in a player because they're not having performances that look as great as others. If JJ, Fultz, and Ball are off the board by the time we pick, I wouldn't mind drafting him. If he plays as good or better as pre-injury Derrick Rose then him and Hassan would make for a nice duo.

Hopeful for Isaac, Monk, or Fox

In case any of the lower teams get crazy; Ball or Smith

I feel like some of you are overestimating this teams resistance to the tank. Riley knows when to bow out on a season.

We looked like this most of the season in 07-08
C - Blount
PF - Marion
SF - Wright
SG - Wade
PG - Williams

But in the home stretch:
C - Blount
PF - Barron
SF - R Davis
SG - Cook
PG - Quinn

We started 8-19, finished 15-67

Yeah, I like him a lot. He's more of a tall SF though. Great handles for a big and he can pass.

I swear to god the league is gonna give Fultz to like Minnesota or Philly

One thing about this draft - if you could choose to live in Philly, Minnesota, New Orleans, Dallas or Phoenix vs LA, Miami or Boston, you are probably choosing the latter options. Just my view as an aussie - combination of market size and location/weather. In such a loaded draft where a guy choosing to skip a workout may be enough to sway a team, a player or two could negotiate themselves towards us.

Admittedly I may be underrating Dallas (market), and i assume Phoenix (weather) and philly (market, potential) are ok too.
