    Appreciate the insights @ch44! I'm so ready for us to turn this ship around, but don't really want to blow our wad on aging or broken vets.

    I would hate to see Capela in Mavs uniform.

    Anthony Black at #4 is a terrible pick. He is not a top 4 prospect.

    If the report by our own Ben Dubose regarding Udoka's desire for a vet like FVV is correct, then Black or Amen may not be selected imo.

    I don't know that it necessarily affects the draft. Common wisdom, which Stone & co. seem to adhere to, is "best player available". Picking for fit is a big no-no in draft circles.

    Also don't think it would be a bad thing for Amen to come off the bench as a rook.

    I think it’s just like the NFL draft. If there is no clear cut BPA then use fit as an input into the decision.

    That's true, all else being equal it could be the tiebreaker. I'm a little skeptical we're in one of those situations at #4 though.

    Sounds like the Rockets believe Amen is a tier above the rest, so if they stay put I think they take Amen

    Two of the best at 20 imo. Both have great handles, can create shots respectably, both are versatile shooters across the floor, and both have high level reads and feel.

    I love AirPodz a bit more because 1) he’s a dawg 2) I believe in late boomers because there might be more self discovery on the horizon 3) despite his limits he tries to defend hard 4) best rebounder among guards in his class and 5) chance that he’s available at 20 is higher

    If the Rockets keep this pick and select Brandon it will cement Stone as an excellent drafter imo.

    Don’t think his account is active any more. Wasn’t able to search his handle for a while.

    I think @Batman Jones is fine, he just left (for now) when his friend Daryl left.

    Just checked the site of his theater and you're right, he's doing well it seems. :)
