I made the right choice switching to the ESPN coverage. Jay Bilas is as good as Jalen Rose is bad.

Kings gonna Kings

What an awful pick

Better than the Wagner pick. Shoots 44% from 3pt, Good defender, Winner..
if good defender you mean future all nba defense then yeah. I love the player, not sure of the fit, unless a trade in works.

I never understood why Bouknight flew up the draft boards this summer. I thought someone must have heard that a top team was going to grab him. Now, he is falling back into the mid first round area, where I thought he belonged to begin with.

Really like what Orlando has done but man, they are going to be so young and so bad for the next few years because they have so many players to develop.

Wagner is a better defender than Mitchell and positionally fits in Orlando, unlike Mitchell in Sacramento

Yeah. IDk. Just feel like you should take a player with more upside/talent at #7 overall.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Why does Wagner have low upside? He’s a good shooter and passer as well as being an elite defender. Suggs, Isaac and Wagner are a fearsome defensive trio

People say Kings gonna King, but Pelicans again can't get out of their own way.

Terrible pick with Ziaire Williams

Every mock had him in the 20's; his field goal percentage last season at Stanford was an .374%  and his 3 point % was just as bad with .291%.

He also averaged a horrid 2.9 turnovers.
5' 10" former point guard

Career highlight: 1973-74 championship, Boston Celtics

Career lowlight: traded for a washing machine

Surprised Hornets didn’t go for Sengun to backup then replace Plumlee

That pick actually goes to memphis, but yeah, there are like 10 players left on the board better than him.

It is. It’s part of that Stevens Adams deal. Williams is going to Memphis.
