    The Thunder apparently want him bad.

    He is younger than the Thompson twins.

    Can actually shoot

    He played really well against high level competition

    Name is pretty funny

    All in?

    If we trade up from #20, I would have no objection. He is being a bit undervalued. Too much of a reach at #4.

    I like him a lot. Solid all around with plenty of room to develop physically. It may be difficult to trade up from #20 to nab him, but I'd love it if Stone tried.

    IMO, Bufkin is basically the 10th best prospect, and I have him in a tier by himself. I would not consider going after him to be all in.

    Interesting that he’s ranked #7 by one of the no ceilings guys. I haven’t dug into him but supposedly he’s one of the big draft risers.

    According to my sources:

    The mayors of Roby (TX) and Lufkin (TX) held a Zoom call, and decided as follows

    Each city council will pass a unanimous joint resolution. A copy of which will be dispatched to Tilman Fertitta & Sons, dba Houston Rockets, inc. c/o Rafeal Stone, Esq. - the contents read in full:

    The cities of Roby-Lufkin are hereby, jointly and forever after

    ALL-IN for Kobe Bufkin

    He's got game.

    There seems to be quite a few nice guards coming out that are kind of in this mold.
