Avdija and the 2nd pick would be a dream return for me. If they need to add salary they can throw in Landry Shamet...

[quote]I think you have to play the long game with Thompson and hope shooting or creation comes around . Just such a ridiculous athlete and competitor.[/quote] I like the Thompsons but the chance that they every become passable shooters is slim to none. Sure some bad shooters improve like Herb bu...

[quote]Trae holds the ball and only passes if he thinks he can get an assist. Otherwise he's perfectly fine throwing up a shite shot.[/quote] I agree that Trae holds the ball too much but you dont average 11 APG by accident. Trae is a very good passer and distributor. ...

[quote]I haven't seen Trae Young play a ton. How good of a passer is he? We need a good facilitator.[/quote] He's an excellent passer, one of the best in the league. The question with Trae is can you build a competent defense with Trae. ATL hasnt been able to yet....

[quote]Also sounds like Adem Bona, Messi, Carter, and Bub Carrington all had really strong combine showings. All of those guys (minus Bona) were players that I would hope would be on the board for our pick. Now it sounds like Edey, Messi, Carrington, and Carter all worked their way into the top 20.[...

He is just an elite passer, especially to bigs, and elite at getting to the rim.[/quote] Topic's ability to get to the rim is really impressive. Kinda reminds me of SGA(obviously he wont be as good as SGA) in the way he just slithers th...

[quote]If the Cal effect happens in this draft, I think it might be Justin Edwards. He was ranked 3 overall out of high school and his shot came around near the end of the year. He had flashes where he looked like the best player on the team and others where he was completely lost. I could see him t...

Reed Shepard with a 42" vert. White boy got hops. I love that kid. Reminds me of a VanVleet or taller Jose. He's small but he's such a good defender and can really shoot the shite out the ball. ...

Rob Dillingham had some pretty terrible measurements. 6'1 barefoot 6'3 wingspan and 164 lbs. That's Kira Lewis type measurements...

[quote]You’re a basketball moron if you equate Ben Simmons to Brandon Ingram. I can’t tell if you’re trolling or being serious.[/quote] You're right. Ben Simmons was an All-NBA player. Something BI will never come close to sniffing...
