Kings passed on ivey and Hardy and traded Halliburton. I know the running joke is "they're the kings" but holy **** lol
With Hardy gone the best steal left are easily EJ Liddell and Kendall Brown. Two teams gonns be extremely hapoy with those guys.
Dude was nothing but an inefficient volume chucker in the GLeague. He was supposed to be a top-5 pick possibly coming out of high school. He was supposed to be this draft's Jalen Green. He went to the ignite and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and if he's not hitting his jumper, he's not really doing much else on the court and not really doing much on defense. Caleb Houstan and PBJ were also highly-ranked high school players coming out of college, too, and they fell. Makes me really interested in seeing how Shaedon Sharpe turns out.
At this point I have to 100% believe Magic FO changed their mind based off the media saying Paolo is the real true #1, the way Jabari looked after failing to 3 tells me, that the magic 100% promised him they would take him 1 and he was their guy. only to call paolo 30 seconds before the pick and tell him he is their guy. Paolo wanted to be in houston and Jabari wanted to be in Orlando
Exactly right I wouldn't trade our young core for anybody's, and I love the Pistons and OKC drafts too Now all we need is to unload EGo to contender for FFRP & get Bamba to take 1+1 deal for MLE Bamba / Sengun Bari / Garuba Tate / Eason Green / JayGup KPJ / TyTy Also managed to drop Wood's dead weight for TyTy + F2RPs Stone is draft god His woman should let him in the back door tonight ... He's earned it
Why though? Its not like they have bad blood Jabari has a vendetta for being passed on but Banchero is just happy to be no 1.
[premium post] 6 years ago there were no Jalens in the league Now there are 6 by my calculations, in 75 years all 450 rostered NBA players will be named Jalen
Yeah, I agree. I kind of liked the idea of gambling on him, but I can see the TyTy experiment, too, because he's got upside to him, too. He probablly also can contribute in more ways than just scoring which is what Hardy is pretty much about. We'll see, though. Mavs just got a cheap steal or a decent gamble of a pick. If his shot comes around, he's a volume bucket-getter. I mean even JD Davison was a top-10 player on some lists coming out of high school... he's still out there. A lot of these stories out there.
