    Henderson said his parents named him Scoot as a baby, because he scooted across the floor real fast

    No more Tim Frazier or Shabazz Napier when Dame rests...this is going to give us a monster bench leader...we got a Manu Ginobli

    I am not saying that Scoot wasn't the right pick and we'll see if there are trades. I just want him to be able to maximize his game wherever he is. I don't want Shaedon held back, if we keep Scoot I don't want to see him held back and if we keep Dame I want to win now.

    Those wants don't really fit together. Fit matters. You definitely don't draft for fit this high but when constructing the roster we head into the season with we better be considering fit a lot more than we have since LaMarcus left.

    G league is not the NBA just does not pass the eye test. There is reason he went three. If he was that good he would have gone 2. I would have picked one of the twins over him

    Sweater. My socks take such a pounding between workouts and gardens, they wear out fast.

    I've got to disagree with you. This dude has such great burst, handle, passing and finishing... his athleticism should translate to big time defense. He's going to be an all star guard in this league.

    Wemby speaks really good English, he'll have no issues understanding Coach Popovich

    Thompson family seems pretty cool. I think grandma was there even. Imagine how proud she must be.

    If the Spider was not in this draft, he would have went 1. Hornets have LaMelo Ball so really not surprised they took Miller. He has gotten all the praises has Henderson and has done well against NBA caliber players and international players also. I think he will be a very good player tbh.

    Bruh it was known for months he might go 2 and pretty much didnt get picked 2nd because of fit. thats it. it was literally just because of the team fit. That should never be a knock on a player who is in the mix for top 3. Like wut?

    I see us trying trading the 23 pick for some quality veteran and maybe future 1st.

    Saying this for years
    My guess is a trade for more immediate help.

    However, if that doesn't materialize, I've been more and more warming up to Jacquez unless someone really drops. I think Jacquez is going to be a player that comes in and helps very quickly, might never be a star but will make your team better with skill, toughness and intangibles. Not the guy I liked for the longest time, but the more I watched and read others I respect talk about him, the more I think he's the type of guy who's on every good team.

    High School isn’t the NBA either and LeBron turned out ok. Twins played in G league too so I don’t get your argument.
