Would any of you have a problem if we take Kris at #24?

Only if Whitmore is still on the board

Nope. Honestly. I'm not exactly sure what pick I'd actually be mad at. Maybe like Sasser?

The good thing is that there are so many guys we want/can use that there's going to be someone at 24.

If Barnes is a goner no. If the F spot is Barnes/Sasha/Keegan next season I think it's a very skilled lineup, lacks in overall athletic ability and Kris is going to average probably in the range of 8-10 mpg as a 23 year old rookie.

There were success cases (MPJ) and failed cases (HGiizzle)... it's always tough with injuries this early in their career and NBA is only like 4x the workload compare to college...

Cam's injuries aren't as bad as Giles's though.

Yeah but the worry is always, only the NBA medical people truly know the severity of it, which makes these falls a bit more scary.

 

[Tetsujin]

I'm honestly not sure. But not dual ACL tears like HG had.

 

[KainLear]

what are his injuries outside the thumb?

That's it as far as we know.

Now he is at teams just guessing

Why is Fat Joe taking us through our draft journey?

 

[Tetsujin]

The Heat getting Cam would be such a gut punch for the league. Pat Riley would turn the kid into a star if his knees aren't made of pasta.

Nice pick for the Lakers.

huh. Probably the 2nd best talent available.

Huston makes perfect sense to be the one who picks up the potentially risky project...

Giles sucked when he was at Duke and didn’t really do anything. Whitmore showed real production and lotto talent. I’m guessing Whitmore’s medicals are MPJ bad. Maybe long-term injuries?

This is such a deep draft that I understand why so many teams are passing up on him.

 

[PorchSurfin]

I wonder if the dick pick makes an OG less likely. They don’t need velvet now

Lol you said Dick Pic

I mean, even with his "bad medicals" the dude was jumping out of the gym so it's not like he was really bothered by whatever it was like Whitehead was.

Damn, the draft snuck on me so bad this year! Who's the most athletic true PF available?
