    That’s funny you say that. I was also going to say you’ve kind of been “off kilter” all season because of the JHS pick and situation.

    We really need to draft a big body.

    Rookie will not get much playing time though. We need a big body and an athletic pg/sg... good luck finding both :( (Dejounte wasn't a bad idea).

    We couldn't possibly blow two drafts in a row. The Lakers scouting department is outstanding. Or so I've been told.

    This draft class is a** though so I think it's a loss loss situation for most teams

    There will always be some quality talent in the 1st rd. There might not be any franchise caliber players in this draft, but I'd wager ,that there will be more than a few, unpolished gems available to be had, as rotation pieces.

    We supposedly excell at finding those types.

    not sure what you mean, but our track record is fantastic. people letting the jhs pick negate a near decade of nailing this process.

    that said, mid-first round picks suck. in part because people EXPECT them to be good despite history saying they're no better than late first round picks. this is why i never have an issue trading top-10 protected picks. trade them all! your vet min signing will be better than whomever you draft!

    Zach Edey should be there at 17. Taking him is a no brainer to me. Heck, he’d be useful right now in this Denver series.

    we saw the ig stuff with handy, rui and vando...rui had a nice season on his fg% and 3pt%, we dont know if vando improved but as far as rooks, we dont develop rooks very well...max dont look to useful and because of how season went we dont get to see to many garbage mins

    If everyone was always right we would have struck gold in last year's draft.
