Soul Bro 1,455 Report post Posted July 30 Reports out of Oregon saying Simons or Grant will be traded. We need to jump at Simons if the price is right. Dude would make an excellent 6th man on this team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simons still remains my favorite!! https://x.com/thedunkcentral/status/1818648395193487557?s=46 but shoot, if Cade is somehow available, we need to break the bank. I’d trade about all our picks to see Cade, Suggs, Franz, Paolo as our cornerstone 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately we didn’t have the roster spot for him.. Looking back, i was surprised we drafted him, thought he was a huge reach and it proofed to be true. Wasted pick.. My three favorites were Keldon Johnson, Nassir Little and Nickeil Alexander Walker. In that order. So except of Johnson maybe, we didn’t miss out on anything big. Great human and teammate though. Wish him only the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m actually shocked Chuma didn’t get better during his time in Orlando. His shooting percentages were awful: https://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/4278052/chuma-okeke.

CTMagicUK 1,526 Report post Posted August 2 Chuma was an analytics darling pre-draft and I think he was worth the draft gamble. If he didn't change his jumper to that really weird one handed form I think he'd be a rotation player already if not a starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was kinda a shocker like Jett Howard.. His name has never ever came up on any board, sports site, mock draft or whatever.. His selection was a huge shock to me. I did film after the draft and actually also liked the potential role player. It has never worked out though. Part of it might be his shooting form. Another part is imo his personality. He seems really shy and introverted. He always sounded like somebody with a lack of self confidence, from a far away fan perspective. This kinda showed on the court.

orlandoholic 167 Report post Posted August 4 https://x.com/heinnews/status/1820194539627573733?s=46 Germany just won the U18 European Championship against Serbia!! Several ballers out there. I already mentioned Karchenkov, the german Klay Thompson. But most impressive was Christian Anderson. People say he’s the most talented player Germany has ever produced(german coaches and ex players commented on this) Also really impressive the Serbian Point god Savo Drezgic Christian Anderson is a player to watch. He’s committed to Texas Tech. Savo Drezgic is committed to Georgia. More and more top talents are committing to college to earn big money. European Basketball is loosing its talents, but it’s also their fault as well. Usually talents only get little playing time and especially in Euroleague it’s not possible for the majority of these players to get a roster spot and a good role 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
