    Yeah, we need to draft Sheppard and mail him to the Nets (keep him as far away from the Spurs as we can)

    Those who actually watched the games knew those false narratives were dumb from day one.

    So then it's pretty much a lock that the first pick is Clingan and the second is Sarr, leaving Sheppard for the Rockets, and the French guy that embarrassed himself at the combine to go to the Spurs.

    I like it.

    I have some doubt Atlanta would go with Risacher.

    I can't imagine why they would. I know that some are high on him, but I can't see why they would be. He had terrible numbers at the combine and I don't think his film was all that impressive either.

    For example, if the Rockets drafted him, I don't think he'd ever play at any point in his rookie contract because we'd have at least 3 guys we'd give minutes to at the 3 that are better than I think this kid will ever be and one that we're stuck with because we let Ime pick a guy he liked.

    Personally no. I realize that they don’t have a tremendously deep roster and maybe I’m just overthinking it. It just seems like Clingan Has come up a lot in regards to Atlanta.

    Personally though, the more I was Risacher, the more I like him for us.

    I think that combine performance might have him drop some. His athletic performance was pretty poor.
