    He's so convinced that he won't matter that Givony, himself, had him as #6 going into last night's draft. Givony and Woo combined to do a completed mock draft on Tuesday morning that had him being picked at 9 by the Jazz. He goes 20, and now he wants to tell you how they knew it all along.

    Yeah, I liked how he tried to say "we sniffed out this slide and were dropping him on our mock drafts".

    But the scouting report is fair - he didn't stand out like a lottery pick should, and knee cartilage is not something you mess with in the NBA (ask Tracy McGrady). #20 is probably not as unreasonable as people think.

    He is right though. I wasn't a fan of Whitmore either at 4. But at 20 I am.

    He’s the best player you could ever hope for at the 20th pick

    There's a certain follow-the-herd mindset among GMs, too. They don't want to grab a guy others have passed on because there just has to be a reason, right? Good thing Stone had spent considerable time with Cam and knew enough about him to make an informed decision. I trust his opinion on this particular player much more than those of the GMs who never got to meet him or work him out and decided to pass.

    Givony had him as the 6th best prospect on his last big board.

    So even by his standards getting him at 20 is still a major win.

    Reminds of the drafting game we do here, we try to trade but most of us had their No 10 board and are somewhat passive to trade or want the farm thrown at us.

    What’s hilarious is all the gullible folks that think the dick troll post is actually real and pass it on as news. Some of y’all really are kendrick Perkins passing on Kuminga is over 7ft now as real news. That’s how pathetic it is

    Verbal, maj and rocketchamp can post multiple times on a daily basis to **** on sengun and if a sof ever posts something along the same lines it is
    'ohh those sofs ...' time.

    Sadly, some posters still buy it and think sofs posting like this is a more common sighting than the anti-sengun&anti-sof crowd.

    LMAO to the negative comments about whitmore after he drops to 20, unless you mentioned them before the draft.

    So he slid because he was being a kid? Did they ever consider that he liked Dick?

    Let's not forget the part about him vaping in the locker room after his workouts.

    Grady Dick should introduce himself as Grady Williams or Grady Bill.
