reclassifying was the dumbest decision he could’ve made. He should’ve stuck with his UNC commitment and been a freshman next year. Would’ve probably been lotto next year in a weaker draft

And playing at UNC would’ve helped him look better instead of exposing all his weaknesses at USC

Drew Timme is gonna be an NBA player imo. Surprised no one has picked him up.

Why are we wasting two way spots on a 5'8 PG?

Couldn't we just have given this guy a camp invite?

You'd think they would try to attract higher upside players but just nothing.

Philly/Morey cooked tonight for his undrafted pick-ups:

Terq Smith
Ricky Council
Azuolas Tubelis

That seems like amazing value.

Yeah I'm thinking we're due for shake up at the top. Not sure whats been going on up there but after 2019 and not counting the Barnes pick, things have been extremely, extremely weird.

If I didn't know any better, I would conclude that the guys running the team prior to 2019 are not the same guys running it now. Just extremely risk averse, extremely passive. Head scratcher after head scratcher.

Just feels like where we were once one of the best organizations in the league, everyone else hasn't just caught up but they've now left us behind.

Markquis is pretty wild even if he is 5'7 and 24 by December:

Big12 stats:

#1 Assists
#1 Steals
#1 Threes made
#1 Freethrows attempted and made
3.5 DBPM
8.3 BPM

Of all the available UFDA we could have tried with.

Tonight has been baffling to say the least

He's 5'7. The convo really should just stop there.

Especially with the way the NBA is trending.

All draft moves looking like they want to give Fred the keys to the pg position

Nowell will have to be a 95 percentile player to sustain any real minutes. He’s gonna be out of the league by the trade deadline or in the g league. Complete waste of a slot no matter how much heart he played with

I would've went hard on Council. Can defend multiple positions, good size and create his own scoring.

I’m still upset we didn’t manage to land Bufkin too. Lowkey hoping we still pull off a trade to get him

Smith has legit logo 3 pt shot. Council, very versatile player, perfect for bench. Tubelis has potential also. Makes you wonder if Bobby even tried? I dunno, and just got a 5"8 PG? surely, they could have done better on this end considering they had no 2nd rnd pick.
