    1) Already missed a conference call with reporters on draft night

    I'm still bitter we passed on Diop. I understand Bonga is most likely a project, but he's extremely raw and I'm pretty sure he could have been picked up after the draft. I know there were injury concerns for Diop, hence why he fell so far, but he looks fine to me.

    As advertised, a strong defender and solid stroke. Could have been another solid contributor, and could play small ball 5 with his length.

    We passed on Diop twice actually.

    There'll be some guys early on that look better than Bonga, but I don't think he'd have been available after the draft. So far Melton looks like the miss. He's the guy I really, really wanted. Hell I'd have taken him with #25.

    I'm not going to doubt the scouting department at this point though.

    Right, which is why I'm don't blame them for passing on Diop with his injury history, and with Wagner and Svi taking off for us.

    Melton looks good. Looks like another Eric Gordon type of scorer.

    I think Svi will be one of those "they passed on that guy" guys too.

    This was a deeper draft than people thought it would be. I still believe that. I would have been happy with either Diop or Melton. Hopefully Bonga comes through faster than it looks like he will. He's shown growth already thus far and some great tools. We've got to remember he's really young. I'd have loved to have a more established guy though. He's the only one that's a true project on our roster.

    It's really De'Anthony Melton out of USC who has been killing it that we shouldn't have passed on with the Bonga pick.

    He's looked very impressive the last few games. That shot is vastly improved

    So, we own our 1st this year, right? If that's the case, we need to land another stud...
