Dylan Harper shooting.

you wouldn't think the son of an nba player would have such bad form. to get that shot off you need to be wide open.

The point is that person is complaining about getting the 4th pick when they passed on an MVP at pick 11. Don't say you're in purgatory because of bad luck and ignore the bad moves the front office made.

It’s both

The fact that they’ve been arguably the least successful team of the past 20 years but have never gotten the #1 pick is kinda crazy

But also their front office has had their share of blunders despite that.

It’s also worth mentioning that teams get these generational players and fumble them all the time anyway. Look at New Orleans, went from CP3 to AD to Zion and have nothing to show for it. Cleveland had 3 #1s in 4 years and probably still wouldn’t have been shyt if LeBron didn’t go back

I’m telling you @Whips-n-Chains he like a Kobe clone man

He's nice. He doesn't have that freakish streak that fro kobe had, but I like his game a lot. What are his official measurements ()

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Tre got a 37.5 inch vert he gonna keep climbing up the boards. And @Whips-n-Chains ik that white mf ain’t have no 40+ inch vertical

Who the breh in here saying flagg got a 40"+ vert?

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

We’re on pick two now. Dallas has informed Cooper they will be taking him

You remember him arguing with us saying we don’t know ball because we said he wasn’t jumping like that

 

[In The Zone '98]

Trash, Bronny hit 95% from 3 at the combine

Lefties with no handle are food

D'Lo all over again

@tremonthustler1

How high do you think Maluach and Queen can go?

Is it realistic to think both could be gone by 9?

I heard Queen had a real subpar combine, but I think he’s gone before 9. Maluach could conceivably make it to 9

Super subpar mf slower than eddy and got no hops

The chances for a high ass lottery pick being a mvp candidate let alone a player that actually is a rotational player is slim. This is like criticizing the thunder for trading the 15th pick which ultimately became sengun , anything outside of the top 3 is an absolute crapshoot which is why bad teams dropping only hurts the league.

Yea this is trash, people clown these front offices but things like this is why half the league is dog shyt. Why even discuss expansion when you have teams in permanent purgatory due to the draft?

Zach Lowe said teams voted for this system damn near unanimously (29-1)

They saw what Philly was doing and voted with emotion rather than logic. OKC was the only one that didn't vote for it because they know superstars aren't going to fukking Utah or Charlotte

Can't blame anyone but themselves
