Outside of my homer picks (Sharp, Milos) i like Baba Miller. There were times he looked like an impact level player but man Cinci was terrible.
Yeah, Dusty wanted to take him from OKC, watch his reaction after OKC took Mara, dude was furious.....
Would be excited for Thornton/Onyenso. Would be okay with Conwell/Sharp. Outside of that, trade it? I imagine #53 is just an automatic 2-way.
my god, GSW and OKC both have top-12 picks on the 2026 draft... i don't even know why i torture myself with this team.
There's a whole contingent of draft analysts and fans who have real doubts about AJ. His scoring game is real, especially his rim pressure, but the jump shot is just okay, the playmaking isn't great, and his defense is far worse than it should be given his physical tools. One-dimensional ball-dominant players are risky.
That also cant pass. This is why I'm much lower on Anthony Edwards than consensus. There are natural passers (Brunson, Luka, hell even Sengun) and then there are passers that pass because thats how you get your #s up.
Definitely disappointed by the lack of moves as well but think the cost was just prohibitive. Windhorst was saying on his pod with Bobby Marks that teams in the teens were asking for an unprotected future first in return. Picks at the end of the first round went for a slew of second rounders. There’s a reason why no future firsts were traded. The rationale for not pulling the trigger is probably that the quality of players wasn’t so different vs. the end of the first round, you have more contract flexibility and hopefully the price for moving up is lower. In terms of what you can get for your assets, if you are willing to take on salary picks might get you further for veterans during free agency when teams are trying to clear space vs. a rookie that probably won’t play that much for a good playoff team in the coming year. Again, not exciting and as a fellow fan I get it, but it helps to set expectations and be patient. We’re unfortunately not the Spurs and the Thunder and just straight up gambling our future is not a great idea.
Roll with a Houston Cougar Guard. They have worked out pretty well recently. Are Kelvin and Rafeal friends?
