He has really good physical tools and his court vision and passing skills are above average. His 3pt% was low but his shooting stroke is really good so I'm not concerned about him as a shooter. Overall I think he compares favorably to Austin Reaves.

Yep. We might as well go down with the ship when it comes to Cody and his rookie contract since we really don't have anything to lose if he is just as bad next year. At that point he will have no trade value and it's not like we will be competing for anything.

I'm a big fan of his so I wouldn't hate taking him with the Minny pick. At UNC he was a too passive and focused on just being a team guy. I like the fact that he is a team first guy with plenty of game still to be unlocked.

Yep. We have also seen inconsistent player development from him. Kessler and Ochai both regressed significantly their second season and we saw Key stagnate last year rather than get better. It was nice to see Brice start to build some consistency at the end of the year but I think that has more...

I think he will be a star. Love his game and would be very very happy with him. That's why for me this is a can't miss draft since we are locked in with a top 5 pick.

I came away feeling the exact opposite. His off the ball movement is elite for his age and will run defenders ragged. Add in his ability to create off the dribble and you have a very rare combo.

We aren't even close to being in the conversation for Giannis with what the thunder and rockets can offer without getting a top 2 pick this year to trade and I have zero interest in that. We aren't capable of building a team around Giannis that can beat the thunder and rockets going forward so I...

The more tape I watch of Kasparas the more I see Tyler Herro upside. His shooting percentage from 3 doesn't match his shooting stroke so I expect that to rise to the high 30% range over the next few years. His passing chops are a little above Herro so I think he could be more of a main hub...

That deal was straight highway robbery for Minny and it didn't need to happen. They would have done that deal without NAW or the 2nd rd picks.

The timing of this seems strange on the surface but it makes sense if ownership was frustrated with them. If you keep them around and they make a big run in the playoffs which is certainly possible then you are almost forced to move forward with both guys for at least another couple years. This...

Yep. No reason to sell low on the kid unless you fall in love with a player in the draft and he is the piece to make it happen. One conversation I would try to have is with the rockets for Whitmore. They probably say no but I'm definitely asking.

That is so depressing when you look at all the guys drafted after him.

Very real possibility. It's going to be painful to watch when Buzelis turns into a star and Cody probably washes out in a few years. It's kind of shocking how bad Cody is. Give any other scrub the same opportunity that he is getting right now and almost every one would be more productive.

Yep. Crazy talented and have so much room for improvement over the next few years. Over the next 5 years the top of the west is going to be stupid good with the thunder, rockets and spurs. Cracking that top 3 may be impossible.

Boy did the sixers hit on the draft this year. McCain probably would have been the ROY and Justin Edwards is working his way to the all rookie team. Then you got Bona who has looked great any time he gets minutes. From a win standpoint this year was a disaster but damn the future is looking...
