    I honestly can't believe Presti gave that pick to us for those two picks...probably didn't even consider Sengun cause they have Pokusewski, but still...

    Why did OKC trade away #16 for two heavily protected picks?

    Y’all think Morey is a bit jealous by how well Stone has handled the apocalypse last season…

    This is seriously a dream draft so far.

    I would have given up both picks and the 2 we gave up for Sengun. I think he's gonna be an impact player in a few years,

    He is going to make the other teams pay bypassing him. I always love big, tall players who can shoot FTs and there aren't many. And if he can shoot FTs, he can develop jump shots.

    Changed my mind. Heavily protected picks are worth giving up!

    not at all, we basically get him for free if you realise how protected those picks are

    People look at the "1st round" words and don't look up if they are protected

    This is amazing! Keep the other picks!


    Get Garuba and Cooper or Dosunmu.

    Exactly, Stone just got some muscle next to Wood. I was on the Mobley bandwagon, but I think I like this outcome a lot better (Green + Sengun). Because Mobley needed to add some weight and Muscle to really bang with the NBA front courts; and that was going to take time to develop.

    I agree that Stone is having himself quite a nice draft.

    Last year he got Tate and Martin; and those two guys seem to be solid rotation pieces for this team for the foreseeable future.

    Stone is doing some great work!
