    Looking solid. Peterson already looking like a better prospect than any of our young guys

    I don't really care about summer league stats, but yes Peterson and Boozer are at least as good if not better prospects than Amen or Sengun

    Summer league doesn’t matter, but many credible people have been saying this is the best draft in yrs. We botched the last Nets picks from the Harden trade by sitting out back to back great drafts. Front office failure

    It seems like yet another oversight by Stone to decide to skip this draft.

    This is why I said you trade Amen for a top pick.

    Meanwhile, Rockets FO & CF needs 7 more years to see if Jalen, Jabari, Sengun, Amen, Reed, Tari are any good. CF will still be talking about their potential 5 years from now.

    “Jalen’s untapped potential is through the roof.”
    “Jokic wasn’t Jokic until this age. Sengun still got time.”
    “Ameiz’s shot is coming! Trust me bro!”

    Need to trade those 27 picks to get into 28.

    Good thing we got Bruce Thornton at the top of the draft! You didn’t say which round bro.

    I said 2 years ago to sell high on Sengun to the Spurs for the #2 pick in Harper and was called a mad man. I would've even thrown Tari in with him lol

    Since it's the very first time I've ever seen a summer league game, I'll overreact to it as well

    He was also drafted higher than any of our young guys.

    Please hop on over to YouTube and check out the “Is Reed Sheppard too good for Summer League” and “Jabari Smith erupts for 38” Summer League videos for a pallet cleanse.
