on another draft note, I am not sure about Reed Shepperd at #3. I am having a hard time finding any elite white players under 6-3 who have played in the NBA recently. I can't even find any starting in the league right now. I know he's considered to be the elite 3 point shooter in this draft, but I can't help thinking taking a better/faster Pritchard at #3 in the draft might end up being a bad pick. I don't know if being White has anything to do with it. It's the height generally! |

Kind of draft related:
watch out for our old Buddy Ainge for a trade for Ayton now
Ayton for John Collins would get it done ( Utah has cap space they can clear) and would help both teams with their Roster set ups
Ayton and Marrkanen at Utah should play well together
while Collins could play outside to Clingan as the big inside
seems like double bigs are coming back

It doesn't matter. They will mismatch hunt him down like they've done Sam and Horford and Kornet and KP and PP. Not the end of the world. Just don't be a cone like Luka is most of the time. Fair enough. His ability to start in the league one day depends on it. If he can get his d up to adequate and isnt a turnstile , he'll prob start one day somewhere. If not, he'll still stick in the league but more as an offensive punch off the bench role player. Ideally, he takes over and pushes aging Holiday to the bench. Maybe this year? |

For those of us who have played competitively, I hope you'd agree that one of the intriguing things about Baylor is that he's left handed. They do everything backwards, and are really tough to guard, especially if you're a righty. Russ, Cowens, IT, Marcilounis, Lenny Wilkins, Jimmy Walker...................all lefties. I know I'm missing some, but also hope I'm making my point.

That's something I haven't heard in a couple of years. I can see this guy replacing Hauser when he goes to Miami 2 Shay!!!!! |

Let's face it. Sam was huge in the finals, but for the other 3 series he was MIA on offense AND WE AIN'T PUTTING HIM OUT THERE FOR HIS DEFENSE!
Lol
If he (Baylor) is truly outstanding, PP and/or Hauser rides the bench a little more this year.

Rodney Rogers, Lafrentz. Lefties are difficult to guard, Hedley is right.

Draft Part II starts at 4PM (EST) on ESPN ... like in 10 minutes! Good i wasn't happy with Round 1. The Kid is slow has lead filled snow shoes for feet. Learn to play D? I'm doubtfull. D requires quick feet . You can't teach that look at Luka. |

Don't know much about #54. He seems to have improved every year at Zaga!
I trust Brad, and, at 6'8", he'd at least make a good 2-way or G-League guy. Let's see what he can do.
