Kai Jones + JT Thor we certainly got taller and thinner

Any chance JT will be better than McDaniels in the next few years?

Turrible. They've stopped pretending to cover the draft - just running commercials.

Thor is solid. Not superman but still a super hero

Worse things than Thor at 37

I won't comment on the JT Thor pick as I don't know enough about him.

And they don’t seem to have a clue as to which team owns which pick. Sticking with whoever had the original pick in their graphics lol. They’re not even trying

Nah, some crazy guy once said McDaniels was better than zion smh.

UNCNYC · Post #1434 » by **UNCNYC** » Fri Jul 30, 2021 3:52 am

I am not sure if we will keep all our picks. I can't see us keeping 4 but who knows

Nah, more defensive minded. He plays like a center without the center body. Good shot blocker.

UNCNYC · Post #1436 » by **UNCNYC** » Fri Jul 30, 2021 3:56 am

Thor is not a bad pick but when you can get Butler he is.

UNCNYC · Post #1437 » by **UNCNYC** » Fri Jul 30, 2021 3:59 am

David Johnson is a very good combo guard

Yeah, he's a bit hard to figure out. Mocks had him all over the place, but he climbed steadily up 'til draft day. He has a rep for being athletic but to me he moves like a 'Bol' - kind of gangly and robotic. He also has a rep as a floor stretcher but only shot 29% from 3. Like you say, he does block shots. Who knows - there were def better options available, but maybe he turns into something.
