    With some of who was left, I was hoping they would go in a different direction. Safe pick, not the upside Joe has done in the past.

    I'm ok with this. Dude has skill and being a bit older than other prospects in this draft, think that will help him acclimate quicker. People didn't think his brother would be that good, and he was fantastic for the Kings this past season. Give the dude a chance.

    I mean... it makes sense. An older guy who can potentially be plugged into the rotation at the 3. It reduces our need to keep Knox/Reddish/Thybulle, but it doesn't address our need for size and I don't see a lot of upside.

    I would have preferred Victor. When picking #3...you got to take what is available.

    It's a really, reallly good pick and a position of need. Do you not like him?

    Both our draft picks can play defense and that's one thing that we needed. Murray can come right in and get minutes right off from the bench.
