    Glad they didn't try to get cute. Clear cut best selection at number 2. Although Simmons seemed like the prize, but we need shooting and defense. Ingram is gonna bring both. Still young, and still need to get some meat on that frame but it's gonna be fun watching him grow and develope with the other young guys. Next season is definitely going to be fun.

    Expected, but still happy with the pick. He's the best player for our team out of every pick, including Simmons.

    That being said, I hope he's the last young player we add to our core. We absolutely must do a better job in free agency this year than we did last year.

    I honestly think we will. Luke is a massive upgrade to nonsensical Byron. Moreover, our roster looks very promising .... young but promising!

    I dont wanna over hype him but its rare to get a guy with all his traits: crazy long, athletic, good shooter, can handle the ball, put the ball on the floor, good defender.

    Overhype away.

    "He'll be a multi-year all-star. He's going to be a versatile player. His build concerns you. Everybody compares him to Durant, but Durant was 215 pounds. This guy is 190. Game reminds me a little of Paul Pierce. You don't think he's moving that fast, but he gets to where he wants to go. Obviously he needs to grow into his body. He's a pipe cleaner right now. I like the improvement he made defensively as the year wore on."

    And mentally he checks all the boxes as well. Just an incredible prospect.

    Young guns just keep getting better.... My main concern on free agency isn't who we get but who we shouldn't get. Great group of young guys. Keep the Howard type attitude cases away. Rather miss out than sign chumps.
