Lol. I think I recall you asking if a player that looked like kevin huerter had ever been successful as an nba player. He’s not horrible.

Al Horford will get paid to mentor Poku.

Well, I've now watched the minimum 2 highlight videos of Poku on youtube. I can confidently declare he'll be decent if he can hold up physically. But wow is he thin. The kid might be 3 years away from being anywhere near physically ready to go against NBA regulars.

Some of the videos he leaves comments below the video. Not lacking confidence.

They were rumored to have promised Patrick Williams and lost out. Then drafted for Stewart which was a reach. Questionable moves.

BPA in the draft almost always. Especially a dodgy draft like this one.

Noel and Muscala were doubtful to stick around and probably even less likely now.

Ramsey has good chance to be available at 34.

Classy move by the Thunder to find such a happy spot for Ricky. I am very happy and y'all are cool with me for several years at least.
