Ya think?
It's a little premature, but I think Atlanta's going to regret trading down to take Young.

Young's going to have a lot of problems guarding people.

Think Trae will look better with better players where he can get better looks off the ball... He's got good court vision, but he's just not an efficient offensive player right now. He can hit from deep range, but he struggles to create good looks on his own and he's not a good finisher. Not exactly what you want to pass on Doncic for...

Can we nickname George King "Morpheus"? He reminds me of Laurence Fishburne in the Matrix.

Giles looks really good. I think he's gonna be really nice fantasy sleeper pick next season as well.

Marvin Bagley looked so much better on defense against the Suns. Made a number of plays, seemed more focused, and gave better effort.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

I think we'll see that a lot from Bagley against the Suns. He even said that he'd hold a grudge against the Suns if they didn't select him first overall.

If all he's getting is the veterans' minimum, we should sign him ourselves. That'd be a steal.
We can pay someone else the minimum to sit on the bench
Seriously. Why? We know Archie sucks. How is that a steal?
I think he meant Len
It would be a good situation. Ayton could mentor him.

Seems like I was very wrong on Kevin Knox. He looks really good.

Keita Bates-Diop is going to be absolutely tremendous for Minnesota. Perfect smallball 4.

So much bashing on Trae Young on social media. People forget how Steph Curry himself was a nobody for like his first 3-4 years in the league that nobody gave a **** about.

Trae is way younger than Steph when he even came into the league. Kid's gonna be good.

Trae is already a much better passer than Steph at the same age imo.

I think right now, Bridges should start at the 3 spot over Warren and Jackson when season starts imo. Jackson's not a competent enough shooter to start again when we're not actively tanking.
