    Great draft! Gary Trent Jr is one of better shooter and has good size... should be able to contribute immediately... Simons for the future. I’m not a fan of Neil but he is good in drafts... credit where credit is due

    It does seem that a two times defensive player of the year in Khyri would have been a better choice.

    Gary’s size might be a factor?

    Khyri Thomas: 8'5
    Gary Trent: 8'2

    While I love me some 2nd rounders, I feel that it's suboptimal to, when you don't have one b/c you traded it away, you trade two more to replace it.

    Simons has a 1.5 inch standing reach advantage over Trent, so everyone complaining about Simons being undersized better do so with Trent.

    Only makes sense for the right player.

    Like Khyri Thomas.

    We drafted two cheap replacements for pat and Napier on the roster. Now use the TPE a rotation player.

    I’m still scratching my head when the Hawks just traded the best player in the draft Luka

    So Gary Trent is a great shooter? Khyri Thomas one % better on threes and 10% better overall! That's not even close.

    Well, if we think we're running with

    C: Nurk, Meyers
    PF: Collins, Ed
    SF: Aminu, Hark

    spending a late first and two future 2nds to solidify the backup backcourt (on 2 shooters, no less) for a while on the cheap can be useful.

    Considering where we were drafting I think it’s an A+

    Why are people all of a sudden putting Meyers back into the rotation?
