“Oh, the more well-rounded Thompson twin that doesn’t need the ball in his hands and doesn’t have as many highlights despite producing at a similar level and strangely has the same assist numbers? BOR-ING.”

Tony Jones smugly saying nothing is a tradition.

it's what he does best.

and literally everybody knows length and athleticism is what all nba teams look for. he said nothing. but in fairness to him, he doesn't know **** either. i just wish he'd be up front about it rather than pretending.

He said a lot. The Jazz aren't going to be drafting shorties

I could be way off about this, but I'm also not sure that Brandon Miller is worth a #2 pick. I think he'll be solid, but not sure he is going to be special. So if I'm a team that already has a point guard, so not taking Scoot, I think there is some logic for trading the #2 pick.

won't happen. nba teams understand how special brandon miller is. it's why he's going to be the #2 overall pick

I think Ausar/Walker/Black are the most likely guys to be there at 9. I think Portland ends up sliding back to 6 and takes Black. Maybe they do the Ingram deal instead but the Carter Jr., 6, 11 for 3, 23, Nurkic deal seems pretty fair to me. Portland then uses 11 to pursue other deals. Just feels like Portland needs a few pieces not just one big one.

I’m going to go ahead and book Hendricks to Indiana at 7… feels like a lock. 8 is a wild card but I think they also look pg and not sure a new GM wants to get too wild for his first pick… so could see Thompson sliding. I just think the nba GMs get a little risk averse on draft night and those guys are coming in from a new route and will likely get dinged because of it.

He does get a lot of insider intels we mortals don’t though.

Does Portland trade Dame in this scenario?

I’m getting this gut feeling Ausar is our guy at 9, but I haven’t heard much about the twins workouts for teams in our range.

Athletic, scores, rebounds, assists, defends, and can play multiple positions

The mental gymnastics to hype up Ausar while ******** on Black is honestly impressive fellas. Great work.

I’m still not sure if your unrivaled undying love for Black is an act honestly,.. hahaha..
