    I'll take the under than make the thread with that exact title.

    Looked it up to see the last bust taken at #3, and its Okafor in 2015 and that's it. #3 picks are 9-1 in the last 10 years.

    Once again his shot is flat because he’s working so hard on D and setting screens .. he has no rhythm because he doesn’t know when he going to get a shot… and when he does it’s contested.

    How many open shots were created for him these 5 games… I’m willing to bet under 7

    I agree with what you wrote here. Pretty well covers it. ESPECIALLY NIX. I don't want to see that guy on the roster starting next year. Move him somehow with Gordon and never look back! Same with Anthony Lamb, or, sign both of them on the Vipers and let them live as G-League stars until some team picks them up.

    His defense is on another level. I truly think this is why they drafted him with the understanding that his offense is very limited. Defense and 3’s is his job.

    Was it just me or was Tari really kind of M.I.A. most of the game and then in the 4th quarter or maybe late 3rd, I don't know, decided to try attacking the basket? I swear he really wasn't doing all that much through maybe the first 3 quarters then all of a sudden he decided to just go for buckets.

    Roster Spots for 2022 - 2023 (Age when Next Season starts)

    1. Jabari Smith Jr. (19)
    2. Alperen Sengun (20)
    3. TyTy Washington Jr. (20)
    4. Jalen Green (20)
    5. Josh Christopher (20)
    6. Usman Garuba (20)
    7. Daishen Nix (20)
    8. Tari Eason (21)
    9. Kenyon Martin Jr. (21)
    10. Kevin Porter Jr. (22)
    11. Trevor Hudgins (2-Way) (23)
    12. Garrison Mathews (26)
    13. JaeSean Tate (27)
    14. David Nwaba (29)
    15. Eric Gordon (33)


    Possible Players to make the cut:

    1. Aric Holman (Yes, please) (25)
    2. Marquese Chriss (No) (26)
    3. Sterling Brown (Maybe) (27)
    4. Trey Burke (No) (29)
    5. Boban Marjanovic (Maybe) (34)

    Hopefully, Stone can get a good deal on Gordon, Nix, Burke, Brown, Chriss and Marjanovic without having to make cuts. Really want to see an actual big on this roster out of Gordon and other players plus a pick or two to grow with these guys.

    We're gonna be fine when Jabari meshes with our scorers but I hope he improves his stamina or he'll have that flat shot throughout the year.

    He's playing defense HARD out there and it's only going to get tougher vs NBA level players.

    What do you guys see in Aric Holman? I'm not seeing a "gotta keep" guy like some of you seem to think he is.

    I really don't think it's stamina. He's been shooting that way since the beginning of the summer league and at beginning of games. If stamina was really the or only issue, he'd be gasping for air on defense and his defense has been plus at least 90% of the summer league. The dude doesn't quit. Even at the end of this game, he was busting his ass on D.

    I don’t think his offense is limited ! His shot will come around and he just turned 19 so I’m happy about that
