    Well, if it’s any consolation, for as long as we have the guy, take a gander at shredded and yoked and finally completely serious about this contract/career year DLO …. who had terrific chemistry with him last year and no doubt will continue that this year. Plus they’re golfing Bros. :clap: :rock:

    Luka is just too damn good. How can you pass up on that much talent? Will laugh my a** forever at that draft night.

    carlik jones has looked good to me in summer leagues and preseason games that i've seen. wonder if he'll get another look.

    edit: bulls apparently signed him after sl.

    It still blows my mind Detroit drafted Hayes at 7 when they were thinking PG. Haliburton was a sure thing. Maybe not to this extent, but he was a lock for a good 10 year NBA career

    yeah, no one really saw this coming, but after maybe the top 4 picks, an easy argument could have been made for him at the time, imo.

    Reaves and Halliburton are the two best at creating for others so this isn't a surprise - both of them can shoot, pass, dribble and you put them in with Banchero as the finisher with two roleplayers in Hart and Portis and things just work.

    One thing about AR that I didn't pick up on before FIBA is that he has deceiving lower body strength.
    He does not get pushed around in the paint at all..
    Still can't believe we stole this guy.

    It's insane what he's doing. It's like you just put him in any given basketball game in the world and he's just one of the best out there.

    I think he will have a 50/40/90 season at some point, probably soon
