So we got back nothing? Awesome

Just take one of the French dudes and start a new Team France.

Take Bronny and trade him to the Lakers for two firsts

Need another one of him. Long overdue.

Who is the best player from LSU? Crews and Daniels need to start a frat or alumni club.

A big man who doesn’t shoot from 3? That may be the one position this draft has

Greg Finberg is lobbying for Stephon Castle, looks like a poor man’s Steph who is a top-level defender. The CBS mock has the wizards taking him.

[HalfSmokes]

The guys I’ve heard talking about the draft have been saying most GMs say it’s like a good draft minus the first 7-10 picks. If we get someone serviceable, I’ll be happy

Someone who can rebound and defend the rim would be fine.

[Natsinpwc]

Topic went down with a knee injury today. So cross him off the list. Probably.

Reading a bit more about castle, top defender for u-conn who can shoot when he needs to but is more of a playmaker. Shot really well at the combine the other day. Seems like he would fill an immediate need for a PG / SG type.
