This is the key point. Mock drafts are not a 1:1 stand-in for the actual opinions and evaluations of NBA staff. We (normal people) have a habit of saying, “that’s such bad value, I never saw him mocked top 10 anywhere!” Or top 15, top 20, what have you. But teams aren’t drafting relative to...

I like the Morez pick more knowing Dusty came in and presumably had at least a positive reaction knowing they’d take Morez first of the Michigan bigs. I mean, from a player prototype standpoint, how different is Morez from Caleb Wilson? They’re both long, bouncy bigs with a ferocious playing...

Worth reemphasizing. That injury really set him back after he’d shown a lot of improvement from 24-25.

He’s also a heck of a competitor, which was always the big knock on Wiggins, who tended to float in and out of games in the NBA. A will to compete is one of those attributes that is too often overlooked. Same thing can be said of Boozer: the kid competes and has a will to win.

Agreed, the 3-pointers are the cherry on the sundae. I want to see Ivisic do more of what we saw during Iowa. If the standard offense gets stale or has stalled out, be more willing to immediately go to Ivisic down low and let him work for a shot or make the smart pass out for an open look (I...

Imo, it's less about seeing what Wemby can do and wanting to find a cheap replicate and more about realizing that in order to win a title you'll need somebody that can do at least a half-decent job defending the guy. Whether or not the Spurs win it all this year, it's clear (barring injury) that...

Man, that run of guys after Valanciunas and before Fox is all-time-level bad. Hezonja and Robinson alone have to be on the top 5-10 list for worst #5 picks of all time.

I’m sure I’m missing something here but this reads like you answered your question.

Not only a fancy job, but he’s Rich too

I think UConn just did that in ‘23 and ‘24. Those were “all timers” — dominant teams that had enough carryover to be viewed singularly. Not ‘06/‘07 Florida carryover, but enough of the main rotation stayed imo.

Is Ty really still that bad on offense? I’m genuinely curious (especially what the insiders have to say re: practice). It’s been two years since we’ve seen him in game. I recall Mirk (near end of the season) lamenting being matched up in a shooting drill with Ty and two others (maybe Davis, one...

Thanks Grandpa.

In fairness to Drej, he knows his 3 pointer isn’t all that great. He only really took open shots from the corner. He needs to improve his form and the little hitch in his long ball to be improved shooting from range.

Well this is rather confusing.
