    When is Anthony Davis a Free agent again. Davis and Harden would be unstoppable offensively.

    Let's not forget that the Davis/Capela interior D is not shabby at all.

    Just going to give this a friendly bump.

    The play of our second year players has been amazing.

    This tweet by bima sums it up:

    Clint Capela was the worst 1st round pick ever. Given a little time to develop,looks pretty good.

    Sam Dekker was the worst 1st round pick ever. Once allowed to get healthy, looks pretty good.

    Montrezl Harrell was another waste of a pick. Allowed to develop, looks pretty good

    Chinanu Okuaku is currently one of the worst picks ever, he's never gonna be any good.

    I'm surprised fans around here manage to not kill themselves given how violent some of these knee jerks are.

    What's amazing is there are no real shooters drafted for this team and yet over the last few years it's the hustle players that have made a huge impact this year.

    If Clutchfans hates it, it's probably going to turn out great.

    You forgot about Joe Chee, currently a worse pick than Nanu.

    For all we know the young chinese pick also might turn into a stud. Only going by what I saw of him in the Olympics I doubt it though. Dekker turning into a good player so good pick. Harrell has star potential with a ton of untapped potential in there hence a huge bargin herel.

    Capela goes without saying has an insane upside as well.

    I honestly think we probably jinxed Nanu. Admittedly, I don't watch college ball but when I realized we were stuck with 2nd rounders I did some searching. Nanu was one prospect I liked. Seemed he could be a decent defensive center. Probably better than Clint if he panned out. As usual him and Zhou got hated on, so I felt a bit confident Nanu would turn out ok because it seems that when a majority of this board hates a late pick they end up being pretty ok. Well, now that Dekker and Clint have turned into solid rotation players, and Trez seems to be on his way up my confidence has shaken on Nanu because now everyone on ClutchFans has knee jerked once again and thinks Morey is God's gift to drafting. Numerous threads of Nanu being asked to start when he clearly isn't ready. I'm sure he won't turn out to be anything special anymore. Probably a better Joey Dorsey. Sorry, Nanu!

    Dorsey got drafted at age 24, Nanu is just 20 yrs old. Wait for 4 years before you make a judgement on the kid lol.

    Wow he drafted those two all stars on his first attempt? How many rings did they help the organization win

    He's never had a bad draft, not one.

    Jury is still out on Dekker. His 3% shot has fallen hard. Love his hustle though.
