I wouldn't dismiss it. He says when Scoot was not playing, he excelled in the role. His guest seems credible.

It wouldn't be his best use though. You play him as a secondary creator on the wing with an actual pg and you are really on to something. You can run those types of alignments with bench units without a pg and create mismatches. Point forward can be devastating.

I think for Sidy I see the player that some think OG is... he may not be as good on defense though. He's just thicc and moves real well.

I'm just not super interested in a #1 scoring option type if they dont have an all-around game. We got Lauri. He's our bucket getter. We dont really need another pure bucket getter, especially ones who are more isolation based. That's what draws me away from dudes like Whitmore/Jackson. We really need guys who can make others better on both ends.

this would move a guy like Black way up the board. Rupert too. big guards/wings who can handle, distribute, defend and ideally (but they may not have this luxury) score/shoot. neither Rupert or Black are #1 scoring options but they potentially bring everything else to the table. in terms of realistic targets for the Jazz, Sidy, the twins and Leonard Miller appear to have that kind of potential assuming the reach their ceiling.

Black, Jackson, Jones... not bad. Probably would take Sidy instead of Jackson, but GG was one of the top 2-3 guys left in this scenario.

I like Anthony Black at #9...still a real debate if Cason is the better prospect for me though.

I hate GG at 17 and I really disagree with the justification as well. I don't see GG as an upside play. When someone is horrid at something, it doesn't give me the belief that he can be elite at it. Someone like Jordan Hawkins has way more realistic upside potential IMO....but I know I see potential differently than the consensus.

Have not spent more than 5 minutes looking at Jones so won't comment.

I'd still include Walker because a lot of his appeal is his defensive versatility being able to potentially being able to play small lineups with him as a switching 5.

Meh.....People need to lower their expectations for lower picks, well all picks really. He's hit on a lot of later picks. His last three late round firsts have been Pritchard, Grant Williams, and Timelord. That's a fantastic run of picks. Had some stinkers with Nesmith and Langford, but that's also just the reality of the draft.

who is timelord?
 
I will be shocked if Sidy is the next great NBA point guard lol but he might be getting some late riser attention similar to Scottie B in that department and we all know how high he went.
I don't think Sidy is Barnes as a playmaker though I doubt it is that far off.

I love Jones there. As a numbers guy I think you will too.

If the board lined up like that I would have gone Sidy or Hawkins, but GG would have been right behind them... its not a reach there with how the board lined up. I would prefer a trade up for Hendricks in that scenario though.

Robert Williams III earned that nickname after first oversleeping and missing his introductory press conference altogether and then he missed a flight and was way late on his first practice day as a Celtic.

Its hilarious now... cuz its a legit cool nickname that started as a total diss.
 
Wait ......
A Sidy pairing with Sexton would work well.
A Sidy pairing with Dame would work too. Omyheck. Why not him as a target?
Even a Kris Dunn and Sidy pairing is very playable.
And yes, a Jordan Clarkson and Sidy lineup would kick ##$ too.

He sticks to the floor like Deron Williams did, but maybe with a little body composition improvement he would get even quicker.

How Alabama players, woman's friends converged one fatal night in Tuscaloosa

The story of what happened the night a 23-year-old mother died in a shooting on The Strip near the University of Alabama campus.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

New deets dropped. The most comprehensive report yet. Still reading, but so far seems to exonerate Miller from any ill intent.

After finishing it seems highly unlikely Miller will have any charges against him. It seems like the text to "bring the heat" was probably sent while MIller was driving after already being asked to pick them up and he didnt see the text. Also he was parked when the other car pulled up on him, so the original report about him blocking people in was fabricated BS. Also seems like it's a question as to who shot first.
