Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

I’m now convinced 7th is a dream. I’m thinking 15, 17, 23.

I meant 7th from the Minnesota pick.

I think Phoenix beats Minnesota handedly tonight even without Ayton.

Watching this Twolves Suns game.

Man, I’d always thought KAT was a great offensive player .. not so now .. he’s just not all that dominant.

Pretty obvious how.

Outside of Kat is anyone on that roster a plus shooter?

Gobert was supposed to magically make Russell a better scorer.

I just think KAT and DLo are both guys that are 45 win dudes… just not the killers/winners. If ANT can’t be the killer or if Rudy can’t gel and raise the teams defense to a top tier level… then they will disappoint. Building around KAT or any big that is soft and bad on defense is just tough… even if they are super skilled. KAT is just such a cringy weirdo… I could never trust him unless he was on a team like GS with big time winners.

Damn, that Gobert trade's looking pretty bad for Minny.. this game sorta extenuates it..

This has just been particularly vindicating because SO MANY posters on this board couldn’t fathom how I thought a play-in team trading all of their depth for Gobert was suddenly the best team in the league.

My post from August sums it up pretty perfectly:

This is textbook liking a player so much you think nothing can or will go wrong. When it does you’re sitting there wondering how you got there then start making up excuses for why you’re there instead of facing the facts.

They should be a solid regular season team but Ant and Jaden don’t look much better than last year… KAt and Dlo struggling… we shall see… it was risky as hell.
