It's not as catastrophic as the Leakry family

Haven't followed the draft for years, can someone give me a quick rundown on this pick? Sounds like he is a shooter so that is a big plus for me. Is Howard still on the board? As a Marquette guy I would love him at 60

I'm fine with Nwora at 45, he should fill a role. Would be really happy if we bought another pick.

So do we already know who the 60th pick is already? I want to go to bed.

As a Virginia fan who watched Nwora give us fits with the kind of defense we have, I approve of the pick.

I don't know much about Nwora so I'll just wait and hope he can help out this year. Still hoping someone surprising falls to 60.

Breaking: Charlotte traded for #42, ergo Bucks did not. Make Tweet.

I guess I would consider shams a league source?

You think he'll play? The season starts in like a month and he'll have no training camp.

I’m thinking they went PF because Wilson and Ersan will be gone in a trade... :wink:

His release looks a little funky from the couple minutes of highlights I've watched. If it goes in, it goes in though.

Nwora is a nice 3&D player but he's slow, not a passer

RiotPunch · Post #553 » by **RiotPunch** » Thu Nov 19, 2020 4:44 am

He can REALLY shoot.

I just worry about the rest of his game.

Given the ransom we gave up for Holiday, you would think we could have made the Pelicans thrown in pick 42.

I like the pick for who was available. Nwora had late first grades at the end of the college season.

What I like...

- Good Production
- Led a top 15 team
- Very good %s from three
- Likeable guy
- His style fits in with our core
- Can take NBA minutes now
- Nigerian background a la Giannis

More like 3&D

You'd think they were in the 30th round the way ESPN is skipping over half the picks.

Where did I say that? I've never seen the guy play in my life, was trying to get a sense of what this guy's game is about.

Eh, maybe not right away but he is 22 and has some international experience, good size. I could see him playing.

Taken with a pick that would have been a more appropriate draft position for DJ. Maybe even too early.
