    Bam may be a better prospect than our own Zach Collins.

    Not if he can't shoot consistently but he has more upside. No post footwork to speak of tho and his we'll see about his new found 3 pointer.

    I think Zack will have overall better game in the long run due to he has more variety in his offense game and should be better rim protector.

    People probably had this debate between Alex Len and Steven Adams, I hope we didn't draft the Len in this situation

    Bam is an intriguing player, strong, can rebound. Etc.

    But, he couldn't sniff Collins talent level.

    He has a decent mid range jumper I believe. By no means is Len a bad player (just hurt a lot) and I don't think Zach will be either. I'm just really worried we made the wrong decision to trade 15+20 for him when in reality we could've had Patton and Giles at 15/20.

    No offense but I wanna see Collins play some more NBA bigs before I give Collins some high talent level. He was in a good situation last season played under 20mpg against worn out defenders who had to deal with a 300 pound nightmare before he reached the court.

    Holy shit he looks nice. Looks like Miami found their future Bosh replacement.

    I think the most damning thing about Monroe is that his stats are actually very good, but nobody wants to keep him.

    They didn't play him a ton last year, only 22.5 minutes per game, but his per 36 was 18.8 ppg, 10.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.8 steals, while shooting 53.3% from the floor. His PER was 21.1

    So for a team to want to continually dump the guy...... that's not a good sign.

    Glad Isaac didn't get injured due to that dumbass who will probably never play in the league poorly contesting isaacs dunk attempt.

    That's why summer league is kind of sketch imo. You're putting potential all stars against Scrubs with low bbiqs

    Giles' knee is hamburger. Patton = meh. Neil got who he targeted out of this draft.

    Most of the NBA execs I have talked to since Paul George trade feel that Kevin Pritchard was just too hell-bent on keeping George out of Eastern Conference; made it emotional instead of taking the best offer.

    If we had replaced LMA with Monroe hed be scowling and wanting to be traded as well. When you consider the guys Neil hasn't signed. I don't know.... is Tuner really that bad?

    I really wanted Bam at 15--seems like I was right about him but we wouldn't have gotten him at 15 anyways :(
