Give me Wiseman and Winston.

Our new duo after Dlo and Towns split town in a few.

Great feet, rim protector, and definitely limited offensively. Not a pick with our own pick but he’s intriguing with the Brooklyn pick because I think he’s an ideal fit next to KAT. I’m way behind on draft stuff this year but I like Reed.
reed's the guy who blocked 8 shots against the gophs this year.

This draft feels like such a crapshoot, not sure who I'd really want to take.

Yuck, do not want. Best case scenario he ends up with a career similar to derozan, worst case (and far more likely imo) he screams Wiggins all over. Amazing potential but not always locked in, defensive lapses, great at driving but questionable outside shooter. Let him be someone else’s problem

Yeah that could be interpreted as kind of a shot at Beas.

What? Just no way. Better shooter and defender than Derozan is today. More "locked in" than Wigs has ever been. Jason Richardson who can shoot and dribble is who he is. That's a star. Of all the terrible fits that our terrible GM will chose from to put a terrible lineup out there he is the least terrible.

I want to see who is in the best shape and has clearly been working to improve his game come October through all this shit. I don't care what position they play, what their name is, or what their skillset. I want the guy with the most drive to improve.

Basically, pick the dude that’s Hulked himself closest to Zion territory.

I’d be okay with that.

If the idiot hadn’t had such a hard on for Russell last year he would’ve realized a Zion for Blehggins deal was there for taking.

Just another mistake to pile onto the dumpster fire that was his first year.
