Lou Dort and Jeremy Sochan locking up wings and not asking for the ball > Shaedon Sharpe taking shots away from Dame :manny:
Dame being trapped on every play because nobody gives a damn about guarding a Lou Dort or Jeremy Sochan broke shot shooting ass <<<<


You can get the same type of player in Delon Wright or GPII in free agency without relinquishing the draft capital

teams seem to be prioritizing defense so far..

interesting what the playoffs show..

It's been obvious for years now that two way wings can get you far in the playoffs. Unfortunately, there's not enough of them to go around which puts a premium on the ones that are available. With that being said, I wouldn't put much stock into Boston's wings struggling against GS as the majority of teams in the league don't have that type of offensive firepower and 3pt shooting to tire them out as what's going on with Boston.

Yeah that’s 1000% an OKC rumor .

Makes absolutely zero sense for Portland.

Why are they prioritizing Davion Mitchell lol … passing on Jaden Ivey to get Kyle Kuzma and the damn 12th pick would be so quintessential kings shyt :mjlol:
Let me preface by saying for the life of me I couldn't understand why they took Mitchell. They clearly don't know what they want, even after taking Fox, keeping Fox, maxing out Fox and drafting Haliburton and then with both on the roster, taking Mitchell.

If I were them and I couldn't move out of 4, take Ivey, but then they have to live with the fact that they used the 9th pick on a 23-24 year old backup PG because they have a major issue with indecision.

Trading down might work, but they're not gonna get the benefit of the doubt til they build something resembling a team (if they offered a future first instead of Kuzma, I'd consider it if I were the Kings and then they're in a position to grab Williams, Branham, Davis, etc.)

I don’t mind them taking Mitchell at 9 I mean you need a lot of good players to win games regardless… especially at pick 9 …it’s not like they passed up on some HOF talent to get him …but I’m just not prioritizing him as some sort of franchise caliber player tho … he’s a nice tough 3rd guard that can come off the bench and do his thing but I’m not letting him stop me from taking another dynamic guard that can potentially be a centerpiece of a franchise
