Is it definitive that he is 6'2"? I've seen him measured amd reported to be 6'4".

Would that even make a difference if thought of as too small?

His official college measurement was 6'3 with shoes. He's pretty consistently at 6'3 with shoes. Wingspan has almost always been 6'6 or 6'7, his official college wingspan was 6'3. My guess is that one was wrong.

I know it largely depends on what we do at #4 but he's 6' 7" and can really shoot it. Could make an interesting fit with Booker.
I'm fine with him at #32 if Jordan Bell and Anzejs Pasecniks are already gone.

There's a bunch of other guys I like in that range as well, but they're all about the same as Brooks to me.

Donovan Mitchell is projected 12th and is in play for the Kings at 10. He averaged 15.6 points in 34 games (46.3% FG) with Louisville.

I actually kinda like Mitchell. I think he could potentially play with Booker and with ulis. He's super long and super athletic. In a Bledsoe trade for an extra lotto pick, he'd be an ok consolation prize. I'd still prefer Ntilikina as I think he projects as better shooter and a better point guard with good defensive skills as well.

Another guy I've warmed a bit on is Dennis Smith Jr. He still reminds me a bit of Stephon Marbury or Eric Bledsoe and I'm not super stoked about the idea of replicating those guys, but his shot might be better than those two. Might have a little Dame Lillard in him. I saw a stat today that showed all the top guard prospects shooting stats on NBA 3's and Smith's were impressive and very comparable to Lillard in college.

Now, if his wingspan was 6'7...
I get it with Monk, I just don't know that you take a 6-2 shooting guard with our pick and our roster.
I think that's where most of us are on Monk.

Sarver and McDonough went to Vegas for a private work out with Isaac a few days ago and did not tell the media.

Gambo talked about this yesterday afternoon.

Sorry guys, this was according to Gambo who learned after the fact. I'm not sure who all was there. Probably Connelly and Watson too.

Watson took Isaac to Chuck E. Cheese and they discussed philosophy in the ball pit.

I'm jealous. My local Chuck E. Cheese does not have a ball pit.

You know how message boards go. If you don't like him he is "barely 6-2" and "a midget." If you like him he is "6-4" and "plays bigger than he is."

I understand that there also was a yoga instructor on hand and that he hung a picture of John Wooden on the wall prior to arriving.
What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.
