    9 if you count Daishen Nix. It's wild. If we keep KJM I think we'll have 10 players 22 or under?

    Drafted the perfect complement to Green/Sengun with star upside.

    Drafted the two of the four most tenacious defenders in this draft.

    Got rid of Wood.

    Drafted KPJ's replacement.

    Didn't get Paolo but still gets an A+ from me.

    It’s pretty simple.
    We needed:
    Outside shooting, wing defense, and a true point.
    SPADES…

    TyTy is not KPJ replacement and if we are bottom 3 this so called KPJ replacement is sitting on the bench and most likely gone after his rookie contract

    A+... never seen any of the 3 guys play at all but I'll go with the majority... I'm just glad there'll be some positive threads made in the Garm this year... Can't say the same for the posts under the threads tho...

    Now if the Lakers would just shut the hell up, come back from Never Never Land, and make the only trade that is actually available to them for Westbrook, we can add another future first to our stable.

    Stone got the job done. Doesn't matter how. It was done. A+. The team will contend in about 5 years. No doubt.

    This post won’t age well. We damn near won the draft if it wasn’t for Detroit. Eason is a player, and TyTy just watch and see.

    We essentially drafted 3 lottery players.

    Jabari will be our best player by the end of this year .

    Eason and ty ty are potential long term starters and could play off the bench right now .

    Eason has one of the highest physical ceilings in the draft and has good skills and motor to go along with it . He’s a wildcard . Ron Artest / Gerald Wallace type . Let’s hope not Royce white :)

    but his talent alone would make him a top 10 pick . Not a shiny freshman , but still . I have him ahead of : Williams , sharpe , abaji , dieng , Griffin , and willaims and then toss up with Daniels .

    with ty ty . I think his upside is sky high . I do not know how much his injury slowed him down . But 17 assists in your first game as a pg is impressive , granted , coulda been favorable score keeping . Looks huge and is smart and has good touch .

    he is the one that will benefit the most from nba professional strength and conditioning coaches .

    could easily be the pg of the future . Steady to KPJ’s erratic .

    can’t wait to see growth from last class and how these guys try to fight for minutes and what that looks like on the floor .

    getting rid of wood and bringing these guys in .. we are gonna play hard

    Jabari is coming here to be Robin. We already have our Alpha leader. Im really hoping Jabari isnt approaching this situation with that type of ego otherwise this thing wont work.
