    He's just dismal. Can't hit threes, can't hit layups, can't hit free throws, can't defend without fouling.

    You can tell which team had the most well trained players.

    I was hoping he would play well, so a dumb GM give us a FRP. Jabari cannot shoot, and he is very passive when he gets to the paint. Why does he on the microphone?

    If Jabari had a real coach instead of a hack like Joakim Noah, he’d have played so much better.

    A GM would have to be really dumb to scout a Rising Stars game.

    Man we missed on Mobley and we missed on Murray.

    Stone is ok at finding decent players in the middle of the draft but can't project high level players it seems.

    In his defense, he picked the consensus.

    Nope, that was actually Sengun who was most of the time walking up and down the court.

    Hope….I’m hoping for a dumb GM because Jabari is a bust. He cannot shoot and have no heart in the paint. Hoping to get Scoot or Wemby because we made a mistake with Jabari. Sengun is a elite player and Tari is a solid role player but we need a Star in this upcoming draft

    That’s not a defense.

    If Danny Ainge had stuck with “consensus”, the Celtics would have taken Markelle Fultz and Dragan Bender.

    GM’s and their scouting departments need to do their own homework, and not rely on consensus picks from twitter big boards.

    Wrong Celtics worked out Fultz and he was fking ass. Only Paolo worked out for us and he was great and we had the red carpet out to draft him. Jabari gave us a zoom call

    Tilman showing Silver the bust we got in the biggest event. It doesn't get clearer than this, go on and hand us Wemby. Tillman playing 4d chess.

    Typical Double d talks about being patient for kpj redemption arc already considering Smith and Green a miss.

    Man to this day still is pining for mobley and now apparently Murray also
