    Sengun would become a superstar for sure if he plays as the high post guy under Rick Adelman's Princeton offense.

    Let's not get cute with the 2022 draft. Rafa shook the world , Silver will not let him do that again.

    I think this roster can make the playoffs

    Its surreal that the choads at barstool sports have somehow legitimized themselves enough to be in talks to broadcast MLB games. Toxicity has its rewards I suppose.

    All of Brooklyn picks plus Wood for Zion and 3 complicated pick swaps. Or is Zion to0 chunky for you guys ?

    Sengun
    Zion
    Tate
    KPJ
    Green

    Garuba
    Christopher
    Theis
    DJ

    The bench would need a little more gummi bear juice but nothing money can't buy.

    The Astros and Rockets lend themselves to actually having fun off season/ peyote induced trade scenarios. Other franchises have some chubby mustache seer sucker wearing mo fos that would trip over themselves trying to be like some other franchise.

    It’s 2021… is this thread from 2011? We need to find an oversized wing with star potential.

    I think we’re gona be alright. Stone and his staff have shown us they can draft! Even Silver can’t stop us from getting our gems

    Haven't done a deep dive on all 5 of these guys, but Wenbanyama is sensational. Teams will line up to tank for him.

    Barring injury, he looks like one of those generational talents. I've never seen a long-limbed, 7'2 player with his level of shooting touch. Not quite 18-years-old today, GMs would have snapped him up this year if he was draft eligible. He's that good already. The French are already thinking about the kind of impact he'll have on their 2024 Olympic roster (alongside Gobert).

    Would look nice alongside Garuba and Sengun/Wood.

    And should not need top 5 pick to get him.

    Reminds me of Greg Brown's HS tape.

    I like Wood, Martin Jr., and Tate. Hope one of those can develop into that player.

    Hopefully with more IQ and discipline.

    But Collins is 6'9 with 7'5 wingspan.

    Brown is 6'7 with 7'0 wingspan.
