I wanted a pure shooter. But if we don’t trade I will cheer just the same. Hence my name. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Funderburker 111 Report post Posted June 24, 2022 8 minutes ago, CTMagicUK said: I think that's the idea. A 6'10 250lbs forward who can pass, dribble, shoot, pull up from mid range, post up. I don't actually think the defense is as bad as people have been saying. One place he did succeed was he blocked a lot of jump shots (more than either Jabari or Chet) which I think bodes well for his perimeter defense. Plus his strength is always going to be a positive on that end. The Blake comparison is a good one IMO but also makes one remember that Blake was never on a team that won meaningfully. I think it is interesting because teams driven by the point big type haven’t really found playoff success recently outside of Giannis and I guess Lebron. But hey if he reaches those levels we will have no issues. I think it is why I preferred Smith as a prospect because he just made more sense as to what he is and can be in today’s NBA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their second best player was Andre Drummond and they won 41 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Eyes On Me 1,210 Report post Posted June 24, 2022 It’s pretty insane to me that Weltman and Moseley have once again already had their presser before we were even out of the lottery. Welt must have a stupid early bedtime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D-BoFats 5 Report post Posted June 24, 2022 The more I think about this, the more convinced I am that either (1) Pick is being traded for Jabari, or (2) we got fleeced by Houston. There’s no way we didn’t bring in Paolo unless he made it VERY clear he didn’t want to play for us. Absolutely no way we don’t do our due diligence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O_SteveO 102 Report post Posted June 24, 2022 A team with a history of offensive struggles and no legit #1 option lately drafts probably the best creator and shot maker in the draft (also the best player, depending on who you talk to), and people are still mad lmaooo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
