Man so far this draft class has played like *** their rookie year. Malcom Brogdon would probably be ROTY if this wasnt Embiid's first year.

Is Ben Simmons coming back this season? Haven't followed his injury at all. Hard for a draft class to look good when the #1 pick doesn't play.

Yeah, he is suppose to come back at some point.
Either way, the draft class has still been awful to this point.

Simmons has been traveling with the team recently and doing pre-game warmups he's close.
This is not the draft to judge early, so many stashed/young players. Brandon Ingram looks like he's going to keep getting better and will be a damn good player sooner than later IMO. Their 2nd rd pick Zubac is gonna prove to be a major steal. He was beasting in the D-League

Cy's getting excited about Simmons' news. He had him on his IR list for the whole season.
What about Dunn? Is it too early to ball him a bust because I dont even see flashes of anything with him. He plays so passive, it's like watching a completely different player.

Such a bad pick by Minny. Jamal was an obvious choice IMO. Almost as bad as us taking Lyles over Booker (although Lyles has grown on me).

The Timberwolves ****ed up royally in my book and it had a domino effect on the rest of the lottery. Chances are very slim he'll end up better than Elfrid Payton. Watching it live I was more shocked by that pick than Jaylen Brown at 3, thats the pick I started thinking "things could get screwy here" and they sure did..
Marquese Chriss and Jamal Murray never should've fallen that far..
Poeltl should've gone higher... Probably Sabonis too, he's been way better than I expected.
Bender looks damn promising to me.. He's a big talented SOB
I know Yabusele and Zizic are having monstrous seasons in their respective leagues (YAbusele plays in China)
Thon has shown some nice flashes
Caris LaVert looks great defensively, better than expected.. (The Nets are even surprised with his defense apparently)
Brogdon's been very good.
I like what I see from Pat McCaw on the Warriors too, that was a great value pick
Buddy's been cooking lately...
I;m certain the 2nd round bigs from this draft will prove to be a damn strong group

I can't help but think the Timberwolves drafted Dunn because they thought his defense would be able to pick up the slack for LaVine at SG bit...

I think Thibs is impatient and wanted someone more "NBA ready."

I'm sure that was a part of it. That pick to me screams "team need over BPA" There's 2 players obviously with more potential on the board in Chriss and Murray..
That's the part that makes it hilarious, because Dunn looks just as raw as every other pick in the draft.
Rubio's D is probably better than Dunn's D. If he can't pick up Lavine's D, neither can Dunn.
What's the current prognosis? I don't follow NBA much.

I guess sometimes you are right and sometimes you are wrong.

It kinda seems like he tried to take you up on the deal and then for some reason, it just kind of got forgotten.
You did guarantee something though, and guarantees typically don't need an agreement. Either the guarantee is good or the giver of the guarantee must pay restitution.
