It’s time…at least we have a pick…it’s gonna be 29 or 30, but we got one. Who should we be targeting?

I know somebody who’s taller than 6’6” and athletic. He doesn’t play basketball, but I’m sure he’d be willing to give it a try for $1.2M/yr. Want me to ask him?

James Jones is actually pretty good at finding useful rotation players in the mid to late first round. So I have some hope here.

Need a legit athletic, defensive, rebounding PF or an athletic PG that can get into the paint and pressure a defense.

And a shot blocking rebounding machine with stretch ability, dependability and rim running ability at center.

Someone in particular in mind? Admittedly my college hoops knowledge is thin.

Nah, no one in particular in this draft. There is a good potential center to compete in the future, but it is a long term development guy and doesn't really have stretch ability.

I’m not sure I’d want to hear what Leander would do with “Boogie shoots.”

Take it you’re not a fan of the “boom room”? I’m sure “Shazam” took a bit… especially since Al stole it from D.C. comics. (Sic)
