I'm with you. I wanted Bender over Brown, but Brown was #2 for me. 6'7''-6'8'' long, athletic, strong athletes who can get to the rim (71 of his 372 shots this year were unassisted makes at the rim) are not common. Brown also showed the ability to pull up (29 unassisted 2s). He had a ridiculous ft rate of 57%. Most of all, he impacts the defensive side of the ball.
I wanted French Milsap, but later in the draft. Danny must have liked him to grab him at 16, and there must have been a chance he'd be taken later (Pistons?). Picking him ahead of Ellenson was interesting, but I can see how he might have more upside.
It seemed like Zizic was destined to be taken by us too.
I like Jackson a lot, but we have no room for him. Bentil is versatile, but seems more like a D-leaguer. Nader too.
This roster is still crazy. We could end up with our entire bench being filled with rookie contracts.
I like the idea of Smart, Brown, and Crowder on defense.
