Could use another Williams

Elite of the elite when it comes to rebounding and being as strong as an ox!I'm just starting to look at the 2023 draft. That guy looks like a beast. I don't know anything else about him, so I don't know why he's projected to go so late in the draft, but he looks like a guy I'd feel very comfortable with under the rim.Also reading about Wembanyama. I guess he's going to be the big prize in the lottery (the draft lottery, not the Shirley Jackson kind).MikeYeah, I love Tshiebwe. He's a lean 260lbs with a 7'4 wingspan and an endless motor. Ideal 2nd round older pick for my mind.Wembenyama is a ridiculous prospect. 7'3 with a 7'9 wingspan, ball skills, shooting, and is a good defender beyond just being enormous. I like him more than Holmgren.Have watched Yannick Nzosa? Looks like he might be something....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flYIcBp2LIUHe is years away. Regressed this most recent season, and is not worth our time given he’s probably 4 years away from even playing NBAI agree he is years away but one strategy that I'm not opposed to is using #53 to take a swing on one of the international bigs (Kamagate, Diop, Nzosa or Makur Maker) if they fall that low. Then use the Cs lack of end of the roster talent to try to land a preferred UDFA.That's fair enough, it's just a strategy I have no interest in. We already have two long shot international prospects, a third seems like a lot. I'm more interested in NBA ready guys who spent a few years in college. I was all for someone like Herb Jones or Aaron Wiggins last year. This year it's Vince Williams or Justin Lewis. Or maybe even Jabari Walker

I think the era of Lebron is O VER . And Ainge and his micro players .I expect BS to do the right thing and get RobIII. A backup pogo stick , and or replacement big man fore Al.

If Jaylen Williams drops into the 2nd Brad needs to do what it takes to grab him. I love him as an AL replacement. He needs a year to get stronger and work on his 3pt shot but he will be able to play D, rebound and pass in the NBA as a rookie.

Just got lucky that he fell to #27. I was begging in the draft thread for Ainge to trade up to get him. Still can't believe he made it past both the Lakers and Sixers.

Has there ever been a more popular name in basketball? And why haven’t other names caught on? I’m surprised there’s not more kids named Kobe or LeBron. They were almost too famous, maybe?https://youtu.be/amBpRXtV90c
reports are Gabe Brown came in for a 2nd workout. In the past this hasn't meant anything but worth noting.
