Prok I think I was talking with you about this kid a few weeks back. Dude was like pinning shots to the backboard and what not. Crazy length. I love this pick, perfect center to groom.

Now, I think we're going to need to invest in a stretch 4. We have Mozgov/Allen. we'll need to probably see if we can get a trade or free agent stretchie big. RHJ will have to come off of the bench, i don't think we can start him and our current bigs together.

All they knew was that we traded for D-Russ and that we traded all our picks to Boston. It doesn't take much to be an ESPN analyst huh?

I'm excited. Great measurables and not even 20 yet.

Can rebound, block shots and play the PnR. Could be a legit C for the future.

He's a terrific PnR defender. Milwaukee seemed like a lock to land him.

no... he didnt even attempt them. so maybe he can develop it but he didnt take them. he kind of just scores in transition or on dunks. he doesnt really look to do much on offense. he is a defender who finishes everything. perfect fit. glad we took him. was worried the lack of threes would sway markinson. they are too smart for that :)

gun to my head i may still have gone patton cause of offensive upside. but this is the best i could have hoped for

watching some of his clips, first thing is that he's really smart around the rim. Patient and not reckless... This year is gonna be fun.

are we done for the night... maybe buying into the second round?
