Sure he has earned the time. I never said he didn’t. I’m just not sold he is not being played. You know who I know and what has been said. I have less data as my contact has now moved to college but he swore Monte was being played previously. Oh and he still hates Sabonis and sent me major “I told you so” after the GS Series…… :(

we shall see. I haven’t stated an opinion other than it’s a good move or he is being played again. Neither of us will know until after free agency starts. We could have taken Prosper and Jones and possibly solidified 2-3. Or not.

I liked Prosper and we shall see what happens.

Your contact doesn't sound like a reliable source.

The thing is that if either of the wings we took today hits, it really doesn't matter what happened with the 24th overall pick. Monte clearly saw our need for wing depth (especially where defense is concerned) and took a couple of educated swings. The metrics for Slawson are insane and if turns out that he's even 75% capable of providing weak side help defense for us like he could at Furman, that's probably a rotation guy. Colby gives us the 2/3 wing help we've been looking for for probably the last ten years. Honestly a lot of what Colby does reminds me of John Salmons (but back when he was good and not when he was the Stinky Fish). We've had plenty of 3/4 wing-forwards but getting Colby finally makes it so we don't have to put Keegan or Harrison Barnes (who we probably aren't bring back) on classic shooting guards as much anymore.

Might O-Max wind up better? Probably. But as far as swings at the wing tree are concerned, I like what we wound up with.

yeah I thought our second round picks were good and trading 24 may be fine if we get a good free agent acquisition that can play 3 and D on the wing.

Passing on TJD only makes sense if they are sold on Queta/Lyles at the 5

Yeah, I think tonight showed we have some confidence that Queta can at least by the 3rd guy and make the big league team. I do gone this means we're ready to commit to Lyles backup 5 minutes and just clearing the runway for him to take that slot too.
