    He’s not going to be great off screens cause of his frame but his movement for his size is going to be better than a lot of players in the league. Whether it will be enough to offset strength will have to be seen.

    Yeah, basing his talent on the mocks seems foolish. Not many, if any, were too accurate with how the first round has gone. We were not all that good either.

    Shorter but more mobile and fucking great passer. Try a bigger better Danny Wolf (who was getting mocked up as high as #10)

    I expect him to be the Arvydas of Summer League!

    Yeah but didn’t we draft Clingan instead of Edey already. I just don’t see the vision for this team. Roster seems unbalanced and on different timelines and neither timeline has any shooters.

    I like all of you but please. There is no excuse for this pick. It’s astonishing. It doesn’t fill a need, it could have happened in the second round, it’s just stupid.

    Fleming plays 3-5 most likely a 3 but I am picking up what you're putting down. Good grief, I would know for sure that we were going to make trades if Joe hadn't already gone into camp a few times with this ridiculously unbalanced of a roster. Fingers crossed that the opening night roster makes sesne.

    Hansen Yang is a good pick actually. Pretty mobile big who can really play. Good feet. Better than Ha Seung Jin, that's for sure.

    Good feet and hands. Good bbiq. I'd say he's already the third or fourth best center on our roster.

    Look at it this way: if we really liked Demin, we wanted a really oversized gifted passer. And here's an even MORE oversized gifted passer!

    before people go overboard talking about his passing from highlight videos, 3.5 assists vs 3.3 turnovers are not good passing numbers, especially considering the competition level

    Almost the mythical 1:1 ratio.
