    They have Giddey listed as Topic's high end comparison...I feel like that's probably harsh, but he's the big boom or bust guy IMO in this class.

    You don’t remember Good Time Tom? Man the stunts that guy pulled back at State. I could go on for hours. That time with the shaving cream balloons…and when he jumped into that lake with those girls. Crazy. He was the best, man. Just kills me thinking back on it all.

    Chandsome crashed hard........I thought Kyle Anderson turned out to be a pretty good player that is going to play a role in this league ....longevity wins.

    No thanks .... can't have another project that can't shoot.

    Too many guys in this draft just as good on the defensive end and shooting ~40% to take Holland or Buzelis.

    The more time goes on, the more obvious Sheppard is as the pick. Fit/skill/need/analytics/etc. all line up. Clear pick.

    that’s not as easy a decision than Jabari and filler for JJJ straight up.If we’re trading Jalen, I’d really like to get a guard back as well (ideally one that can shoot). I like JJJ better than Jabari but not enough to overpay.

    Older brother, spent time in a russian prison for a bit and then if I recall, the US government released him for a russian arms dealer.
    Someone help me out here, what was brother's name? :D

    A 6'6" PG who plays defense this well has a pretty high floor.

    I think it is a clear pick *here.*
    Confirmation bias is real.

    I agree everything lines up but I’ve see no indication that Stone and Ime are on board.

    Amen and Castle can't play together because neither can shoot a basketball.....also, Castle would throw a temper tantrum if he was drafted by a team that already has a PG, he wants to be handed the starting PG job from day one or he won't do workouts for teams.

    So that's why the diva that can't shoot isn't on my list at all.
