Utah fleeced Denver. Mitchell as a prospect is way more interesting than Lyles (who I like, but will be backup to Millsap) and the forward tweener Denver drafted at #24.

I love me my Armani, though. And I truly want to see what Jackson and Booker can do together.

Agreed about Mitchell. He looks like a stud. It will be interesting to look back at this draft 5 years from now to see which teams really regret passing on him.

I was big on Mitchell. That's who I was hoping we were after with the proposed bledsoe to Denver for #13 trade.

I'm sure Denver would like Booker in return. Time is yours.

Mitchell is with the Jazz, not the Nugz.

Bogdan or Bojan?

You know what? I'm going to have to make flash cards and study up on all of these guys with similar names.

^ Bogdan. It was a sprained ankle. I don't know how long he will be out but could have been worse.

Basketball Reference now has a projection for the upcoming season on each player's page. It's somewhat interesting reading, for prediction nerds. They are not predicting breakout seasons for any of our players that I saw, but I did see that they are predicting Joel Embiid to average 27 points.

Here's Warrens page:

Unless I missed something, it looks like their prediction is that he will have almost the exact same stat line per 36 that he did last year.

Right. They're projecting him to score 27 points per 36 minutes. Which is actually lower than last year (28.7).

And his FG%, rebounds, steals, etc, all look to be nearly the same.

Embiid's usage was astonishing last year. Only Westbrook and Cousins had a higher USG%. The sample could be larger but 31 games is significant. This year there is Fultz, Simmons and some other legitimate NBA players so we'll see, but anyway you slice it, the guy is a monster when he actually gets to play.
