Sounds like it.

I mean, Miller is nice but Scoot just has that "it" factor to me. Then again maybe he's the new Dennis Smith Jr.

That's the concern

I knew Redick would be a good player.

Was not right about Franz Wagner though.

Of course SanAntone took the entire five minutes for drama.

Hey wait, Wemby has a younger brother?!?!?

I'm still shaking mine with fury over how obvious it was that Isaac wanted to be drafted by the Knicks after all the love he gave them. :lol:

I'm not high on Scoot.

Also, the three top picks never turn out to be the best 3 players when all is said and done.

Let's do a running game as prospects come off the board:

Wemby best case: Modern day Kareem
Wemby worst case: Modern day Ralph Sampson

Meh people say this every year. We have to trade up to get _______, then that player gets picked 5-10 picks after us

Remember when we thought we would have to take bouknight at 5 if we wanted him cause he won't be there at 8

Bilal got hyped up lately but doubt he's picked before 11

I wonder why spurs haven’t announced a trade victor for Luka. Oh wait, they have brains enough not to do that

Wemby seems like a nice kid, crying tears of joy even though the announcement was really just a formality. Really hope his body holds up (or at least free of catastrophic injury).
