People are rightfully disappointed, but seriously we beat the odds again. We are pretty lucky, just not as lucky as those SA ****s
would have been nice to add scoot or wemby but I really think Jalen, sengun and bari are the real deal. im serious. not a disaster imo. I hope stone doesn't panic.
It's so surreal how impatient modern nba fans are. It's like they are all kids on Adderall. They all gotta put up Luka numbers at 20 or else they have no shot at being stars.
spurs got zero star potential. so makes sense nba gave them #1. but its bs we couldnt at least get 2 let alone 3.......but 4? behind F*CKING PORTLAND lol feels like a giant slap in the face
I already know how this is gonna go the Amen Thompson highlights and positive scouting reports will come flooding in as we try to convince ourselves that tonight’s lotto outcome wasn’t that bad Rockets Twitter will make videos of Thompson doing one thing, and then D-Rose, Lebron, Ja, D-Wade, etc doing the exact same thing in the next clip we’ll be given a 5 game sample size where he shot 35% from 3 or 75% from the free throw line as some encouraging sign we’ll be told why his shooting woes are overblown and be given examples of guys who couldn’t shoot at all, but ended up changing that and by draft night, the narrative will be that we’re lucky we’re getting the 2nd best prospect in the draft at #4
Stop leaking the truth! We have to go through this process and fake fall in love with Amen. You just gave the entire movie away. Lol.
Cam Whitmore is a beast! Looks a lil bit of jaylen brown/ Anthony edwards. Big body with handles that can actually shoot.

I’m not bummed. This is a really good draft. I don’t believe Wemby is generational. He is too tall and thin and can’t shoot 3 pters with a crap. He may even not be done growing which will be horrible for his already fragile frame. I wanted Scoot, but want nothing to do with Miller’s immature ass. If we end up with Amen or Walker I will be thrilled. If we can trade up to 2 or for Lamelo without giving up a core player I’m good as well. In the end we end up with Scoot, Lamelo, Walker, or Amen.
