Doesn’t surprise me one bit. If he’s ever good enough & medical staff allow him I can totally see him trying to be an 82-gamer

I love tough hard nosed players. The players I really liked coming out in this draft besides Wiseman, who I thought we couldn’t get, were Pritchard, Bane and Vassell. All of those guys are tough with really good court awareness. I’m glad we got one.

Draft steal? He’s looking better than a lot of lotto picks

The next FVV. Definitely a steal.

PP and Malachi Flynn looking like steals thus far

Exactly the kind of rookie we need: ready to play now.

If Romeo looks good, the Pritchard, Romy, Timelord, GWill basic rotation is fine.

Those two were really close for me coming out in the draft. PP is the bigger stronger player but I like them both. They both should’ve gone in the teens.

well in hindsight

nobody was going to pick either in the teens.  Most had PP going in the 2nd round.

I thought both should be first round picks. Both highly skilled.

I had Pritchard at 30 and Bane at 26 in my draft guesses
