    It’s interesting that he compares himself to Durant and Tatum because he plays nothing like them.

    I heard a lot of people question Eason's BBIQ, and I don't know about that, but the rest of his IQ sounds like he was pissed he was late for a symposium. Dude speaks damn well. lol.

    I hope all the talk of unselfishness and stats being secondary are true. Can't wait to see how vicious they are on defense.

    No joke. Even on draft night. I really liked his suit/style. I was afraid he was going to come out looking like another circus act. Humble dude.

    Agreed. He's a competitor that's for sure. As someone said earlier, having that all-business, driven personality as a compliment to the flashy guys we have from last year sounds like a fantastic mix of personalities in our core. So excited for next season now.

    I just can’t wait to see all the rookies play with each other especially Jabari and Jalen!

    Am I actually more excited for this crop than last year's? Probably not cause I had both Green and Alpi top 5 but it's cloooose. Personality wise these 3 are killers. And I had Jabari #1 at some point and now he's extra motivated. Hopefully having 2 extremely hard workers in Jalen and Jabari helps set a culture for the team.

    Is it just me or does TyTy look like Snoop from The Wire?

    1) We're going to love Tyty... dude has a Houston vibe in him.

    2) These three young guys are going to embarrass our young vets at the free throw line.

    3) Attitudes just got real. These three guys are here to win, not win over fans, not win rookie of the year, not win a popularity contest, not win the fashion show, just win ballgames. It'll be like having Prince on our roster times three.

    Jabari Smith was six weeks old when this photo was taken (Green was 16 months, Sengun was 11 months):

    He is legit big. Supposedly 6'10 with 7'1 wingspan.
    Not the kind of 6'10 to Cunningham's alleged 6'8!!

    He reminds me of Jaren Jackson jr with better three point range.

    Jaren Jackson with range and a good attitude? I'll take it!

    I was really impressed with all three. Even more excited than I was last night, which is saying something.
