    Dude is 19, solid post moves and he can shoot threes.

    Would be a great project for Dream to work on in the background.

    Sorber is the definition of "trade the pick".

    If you want him, great, but trade back to get him

    Eg: trade with Orlando, pick 10 for 16 and 25.
    Take Sorber and maybe Nique Clifford or Kalkbrenner or something

    ngl brehs... i think the "dream" factor isn't that great tbh. you're either real good and dream can help polish you up, or you're mid and dream can't help much.

    Man looking at his young face, i felt death knock on my door by the time he develops. The unfortunate life of a sports fan in a fairweather city that only sees championships once in a generation while other cities buy and rig their way to competing every year for their fans with barely a roadblock or two. I'm glad to have witnessed Hakeem and Clutch City b2b. That's more than so many fan bases will ever experience, sadly.

    I'm ready. Take me, Lord. I can't go through another decade before we see the WCF again alongside another decade of Texans misery.

    The toll was supposed to be free once paid for. Why are we still paying, Lord? I'm paying to be stuck in traffic on the toll rds. I'm paying to be bumper to bumper b/c of construction or accidents on the toll rd. This is what my Houston fandom feels like. I'm looking out my window and i see all these naive faces sticking their heads out the windows shouting "it's okay! Stay the course! Don't re route! It'll clear soon!" while blocking others frantically trying to get off.

    If we are drafting by need, we need to take the best FT shooter available.

    You can shoot 100% and it won’t help the team if you don’t play or play and can’t get to the line. But perhaps you’re just making a point that we are an awful FT shooting team and must desperately improve on that front.

    I never know anything about prospective draft players. But it’s hard to imagine anyone we draft is going to see the court much. Cam and Reed are still trying to crack the rotation and they both have things to offer the team. Unless we make a trade to get rid of a rotation player, I don’t know that keeping the draft pick helps us, at least not for a while.

    We already have 2 guys who get zero playing time and should be developing and ppl on here want to bring in more projects.

    This pick is either going to be a shooter, an older college player or traded in a package for another player.

    7’6 wingspan apparently.

    but if we are keeping 10 I only want 4 guys in order.

    The Duke boys Kon & Maluach
    Rasheer Fleming
    Carter Bryant

    taking Rasheer or Carter would make me happy because the Spurs are dead set that one will be available at 14 and I want to destroy that opportunity for them

    Can shoot 3s? Are you casually just ignoring the 16.2 3pt %?
