    If Memphis is taking Clingan here that's exactly where I had him on my board

    Not trying to argue. I do strongly believe that if harden was three inches taller we win two championships with him. It's not like he's not tall enough to play shooting guard in the NBA, it was that the way he played he needed to be a little taller to be able to make some of those difficult step backs and one on one plays against elite defenders playing playoff defense.

    He totally gave up in the playoffs multiple times IMHO because of the above. Anyways just the way I saw it. Opinion.

    There is absolutely no way he'll be worse than Holiday. Holiday was also tiny and he couldn't play any defense but played significant minutes just cause he was the only guy who could shoot. Now Reed is here to do that and more.

    Reed seems like the type of dude to get along with Jabari and Amen. Even Sengun seems too damn wild for him.

    Gotta love Charlotte trading back when that's never worked out for them.

    Woah. Charlotte backed out of the trade with Memphis. Portland pounces on Clingan?

    I don't think we'll run out on the court with a tape measure when he's knocking them down at 50+%. We cried we needed shooting, now we have it. I'm happy.

    This ended up being the most predictable draft so far after everyone is saying it will be chaotic lol

    Salaun could be the Giannis of the draft. Raw as hell but insane measurable and skills. Could also be the Caboclo though. Kinda sad he ended up in Charlotte.
