Annoying the ESPN banner still shows Grizzlies picking at 25
Not half as annoying as the ESPN talking heads. I had to turn the draft off.

Really surprised that Whitmore lasted past Golden State, Miami, and LA.

Reportedly Whitmore's playmaking is questionable.  As is his practice and workout intensity.

who knows, he might be a steal who slides to us.  or maybe those red flags are just enough to turn off teams from using a 1st rounder or lotto pick but someone will take a shot in the late 1st/early 2nd round.
Supposedly had some injury red flags as well.

Poor feel for the game and bad practice habits….does not sound like BS type of young player

Ok well Whitmore's slide didn't last too long.  Rockets scoop him at #20!

Hilarious that the guy HOU gets at 20 might legitimately be a better prospect than the guy they took at 4

Only a few picks till us.

Who is everyone thinking?

I like Kris Murray as an immediate impact guy. Dariq Whitehead or Leonard Miller could be nice swings for the fences. Maybe Noah Clowney?

I think this is because the trade hasn’t been officially finalized yet. Must be paper work or something.

Sensabaugh has some Paul Pierce in him. Strong, not super atheltic, but can score from all 3 levels by using his body and crafty moves for spacing.
