If you're saying he'll be better with lots of motion and cutting versus an iso heavy offense I could see that I suppose. But I think he'll be successful regardless. It's defensively that I worry about him.

I hate the curry comp because nobody is curry, but I think he'll help a team more being used like that than being used like Lillard.
All he needs is a high ball screen and a competent roll man. A spot up shooter in the corner to really make things interesting.

Taking Okogie, a guy I wanted in OKC. Don't know if I would've liked him with the 20th pick.

OMG that John Starks commercial. He was one of my favorites growing up. I loved the Knicks back in the day.

I've always hated starks irrationally for having the audacity to even compete with Jordan.

Chauncey billups doesn't know how to compare a white guy to a black guy.

This chick has been pretty awful all night too, really the whole draft and program has been pretty blah.

Okay so Woj and Shams were both saying stuff like teams are focused on a player. Is that the loophole? They're allowed to say focused or lasered in. But they're not allowed to say going to pick? If so that's super super lame.

It's been hilarious, I think they were going to take it seriously but Stein or somebody broke the first pick so they started flexing. Really just Woj, shams is just announcing picks now.

Reminder that golden state is going to get to draft a guy to bury on their bench that very well could be one of our three best bench pieces.
