    My hot take is Mark Vital will play himself onto this team

    Watford just does not look like an NBA player. Those possessions where he dribbles for 5 seconds in the paint before flipping up a shot won't happen in the NBA.

    He's very physical; I'll say that for him.

    Seriously i remember people totally bashing The Blazers for this. Faried was playable and the Blazers had chosen Nolan Smith.
    Looking back Jimmy Butler was taken at #30. Reggie Jackson was taken #24.
    Another interesting fact. The only player that played less years in the NBA that was drafted in the first round than Nolan Smith was JaJuan Johnson.
    They could have had Chandler Parsons, Etwan Moore, Isaiah Thomas was drafted 60th.

    20/20 hindsight can be kind of fun looking back at the way things work out. The Draft is a crap shoot for sure.

    Very quick 2nd jump. Blocks multiple shots in succession with his quick hops and massive wingspan. Then the flush finish at the other end. Can just do a lot of things that some people can't no matter how good they are. It just needs to translate.

    The best thing for his career was Stotts getting canned. Can't believe how he jerked him around 3 minutes at a time.

    I can see Kenneth Faried making the team.

    There’s a chance I would have been more excited about signing Mudiay, Beasley and Farried instead of Zeller, McLemore and Snell.

    Also kind of intrigued by Mark Vital. Anyone who can defend the 4 has a shot at the actual roster.

    Yeah I could see either Faried or Beasley getting a spot. There’s really no free agent left that’s worth the MLE. Focus on trades.
