    Stunned us all.


    Seriously, would rather have had about five other people at 24, but everything else is so great, I'll let it slide.

    Sucks because Morey never had a shot at rebuilding a team with lotto picks

    Got a franchise player with the #2 pick so it’s an A++++ in my book.

    Legitimately, this feels like a franchise-changing draft. The type you look back on and think, “How the hell did that happen?”

    Easy A

    Would have been an A+ if I liked the last pick. All in all I'm beyond thrilled with all of the talent we managed to add. Green should be a star, and Sengun has the potential to be an impact scorer as well. Garuba could be a defensive stud.

    Stone swung for the fences on all his picks except for Usman...who will he in the league for a long time with his motor.
    Grade: A

    Stone trading up in a draft to pick a potential sleeper is already better than paying for a 2nd round pick

    I hope all Stone's picks come through so I can laugh at morey.

    since I dont hate players anymore, I just want to stick it to morey.
