Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
Kupchak scouted overseas and saw plenty of LaMelo Ball. I trust his judgment. Plenty of draft analysts have LaMelo's ceiling highest in the draft. So Kupchak's endorsement bodes well for LaMelo putting in the work to develop to his fullest potential. On that note, let's get Del Curry working on his shot starting tonight.
In all seriousness, my best friend (Knicks fan) asked me if I'm psyched about Ball. I said if he can become a triple double machine with his length and athleticism, a pass-first version of Russell Westbrook. Sprinkle in a developing three ball and he can become a superstar, possibly the lone game-changer in this draft.
And that's kind of what we've needed but never had all these years.

My besty is a Wolves fan and we're both big Rubio fans, so I hope this happens. I've always loved his attitude and approach to the game and people always tell me I look like him when I used to play pickup games. Last gym I played at regularly more people called me "Ricky" than my actual name (which is not close to Ricky lol).
Thats pretty much me when I play ^

Okongwu and Toppin had genuine, heat felt emotional moments.
Cole Anthony can suck it. Those were alligator tears.
I'm with you Diop with the whaaaaa whaaaaaa when it comes to Anthony.

Really?
They already have the other Ball and Alexander-Walker and Hart.
I just think he is a sleeper and they are rebuilding anyways, so I see it as BPA. They needed a primary ball handler since Ball and NAW are both more secondary guys.

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
How will LaMelo + Monk pair if Monk regains his college 3 and LaMelo learns to shoot them?

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
McDaniels still in play, and if we take him, we should definitely trade for Lonzo and sign Tyler so we can have 4 sets of brothers

Isiah Stewart looks like the type of kid who beat other kids up for their lunch money on the daily.
Now after seeing his Dad I assume when Isiah Stewart got home every day his Dad beat him up for the lunch money he took from other kids.

Re: 2020 Draft Day Discussion
I think everyone is expecting Ball to come in and play a lot of guard when in reality I think he’ll play point forward and be taking Miles mins the most.

I love the Rubio trade for Minnesota. They need good defenders really bad and also another playmaker to compliment the scoring punch of Russell/KAT/Edwards(eventually).
