Couldn't have asked for much more than the boys did this season. Nobody expected us to get this far.

What are team needs besides a point guard?

Can we sign LMA?

Not outright. Would have to trade for him.

Capella is till young but hopefully he gets his role expanded.

All the mock drafts have us taking Tyus Jones. I would let beverley walk. Dude is a beast and a difference maker wben he's on the court but i have a death valley level tolerance for players who are injury prone.


Brewer and Smoove are gone. I really dont trust back injurys so i would package Dmo's along with jones and the first round pick for LMA and see if portland does a sign and trade...

I don't watch college basketball so I don't know much about the picks. But I heard from some friends that watch that Dekker can play. The Rockets have done a okay job of drafting recently even tho they've traded many of their drafted players away so I'll trust Morey and give Dekker a chance. I haven't heard of the PF they drafted but a second round pick is not someone you're gonna rely on anyways.

The undersized pf pick had to be a counteract measure to draymond green and the warriors. Harrell is versatile, high motor, and a good rebounder. Hes a more offensively gifted Faried. I wouldnt have like the pick the in the pass but i do now because it makes ourblineup more veratile and a better small ball team.

Still not a fan of dekker. Hopefully he can make me one.

Dekker is like Chandler Parsons 2.0 from watching him at Wisconsin this past season. Dude can ball.

houston.
I like both picks. Although I wanted us to take a PG, I knew Morey wouldn't go in that direction based off his draft history. Only once in the Morey era has he ever took a PG in the 1st round (Aaron Brooks) and I think he's never drafted a freshman player. Dude basically drafts BPA
