    Ha. Good thing I wasn’t assigned to cover it. Didn’t realize they moved to Brooklyn.

    Undersized big who couldn't shoot, and didn't have the athleticism to be a Montrezl/Manimal type player.

    Still, out of the league at 22 is something.

    I’m not a doctor and I didn’t want to stick at #20. But taking a big swing that late in the draft on a guy with All Star upside and so young…home run! I thought he was a great high upside prospect… and at a position of need.

    Wait up - this isn't right. Giles was a mobile 7' with an outside shot. He just blew his knee out too many times and lost his confidence and athleticism.

    I liked whitmore better than Amen before the draft. Don’t get why he slipped so far but good for us!

    A line up of Amen/Green/Cam/kmj/kpj. We can dub it the bouncing beans lineup, dudes will be flying all over the place.

    18 years old with injury history about be a lottery picking making millions. I'm sure family and friends were his ear telling him not to get hurt. He slipped to 20. Imagine if he sprained his ankle or something.

    Yep, better than Green currently.

    But will the org do the right thing and just PLAY the best player no matter where they were drafted?

    I think Cirque du Soleil might be a better name for that lineup?

    Warriors missed the boat when Houston called. Could have stated, "We like Cam, but who do you got to trade?"
