    It’s important to me that Sharpe starts.

    Yep, they sure are. And they think the “better fit” argument is hogwash.

    I think people forget how good Durant was in his only year in college. Shot better % than Miller on both twos and threes. 3 more rebounds per game. three more free throw attempts per game. Double amount of steals and blocks than Miller.

    Apparently Woj says it’s likely Charlotte goes Miller, which opens up a lot of doors for us.

    Hard to forget how good Durant was in college.

    The fact Oden was drafted over him was fucking insane.

    "But he can't bench 135".

    Fuck that reporter for bringing up Oden and Bowie. Like we don’t already know we are cursed.

    im really excited to see how we fuck this up

    were used to making franchise altering wrong moves, this could be another one (probably not to the same extent, but still)

    We need a Center and a Wing. Not one or the other, both.

    I want Zion and Jaxon Hayes, is he still on their team? I mean fuck it, roll the dice. Maybe Zion gets his shit together. Must be tough hearing fat jokes from the entire country.

    Apparently Woj said that he thinks Brooklyn is going to keep it together for when the next all-star asks out.

    That's what he said on the ESPN2 Mock Draft show.

    It has to be exhausting for him to carry water for so many people.
