Ugh, Reed to the Nuggets

Edit: wait! They are trading the pick to the Spurs  :o

Spurs monopolizing bigs drafting Quaintance and now trading up for Reed.  I guess one way to make sure nobody can defend Wemby is to get all the centers!

A bunch of trade backs in the 20s.  Another one here for Brad?

I wonder if this is the end for K Olynyk, Biyombo, Mason Plumlee in San Antonio. They already have Kornet. Now 2 young centers as 3rd stringers behind Kornet.

Super talented and athletic, super raw, potentially a slow processor of the game.  Assuming we have kept the pick, Cenac is likely to spend a lot of time in Maine next year, and maybe the year after.  But our bigs developmental coaches are clearly first rate, so I am good with the downside risk given the upside.

This is a great upside choice. He was projected to go a bit higher and he is a versatile big

Good pick. Great rebounder. Shot is getting better and a good defender.

Huge upside for Cenac. Bilas said he is a lottery talent.

Didn't think he'd still be on the board when they oicked.  Now I wonder what's wrong with him

I forget who it was but there was an interview with one of the lotto pick guards and he said Cenac was the best player he played against this season.

I'm surprised Cenac was there.  It seems like a great pick.

Interesting pick by Brad. Cenac Jr is 6?11/240lbs. Good athlete. Jabari Smith Jr type? Im intrigued.
