Probably right. But we all know it’s a mistake. Guy is a Robin, they lack Batman.

Meh. I want nothing to do with Ingram. Any insider rumblings about Bridges being available? murray + oo to NO ingram + Daniels + frp to BKN bridges to ATL figure out a backup center via fa, trade or draft. Bridges fits what we want to do much better than ingram. And he doesn’t miss 30% of every season.

My comment was somewhat tongue in cheek on the brothers - tho history seems to lean towards supporting my opinion … it’s just an observation. I really just don’t believe in Cody as a prospect. If his brother wasn’t Jalen, is he even in consideration as a lottery pick? cody has not impacted the game in a meaningful way. He’s kind of average in everything with not even a “good” trait at this stage. Banking on a similar development curve as his outlier brother seems like a mistake to me. Throw on top of that how much improvement and strength needs to be added to his frame while not losing any athleticism has me in the camp of I’m not touching that guy in the top 20.

1) Castle. That’s as far as I’ve gotten. for the Cody Williams believers - can someone sell me on why he breaks the mold of brothers in the NBA? If there are brothers in the league - it’s almost 100% that 1 will be significantly better than the other. Jalen Williams is better than Cody. Due to my exactly inexact science of the history of bros in the NBA - why will Cody be anything other than - at best - an average bench player? Not worth a top 10 pick. the balls are really the only ones I can remember that broke the trend.

He’s fully capable - agree. But availability is the best ability. If we can use him to upgrade our roster I’m all for it. Let someone else take the injury risk. Which is also why I’m fully opposed to going after B Ingram.

@KB21sending positive thoughts your way - hope everything is ok. I have serious concerns with OO. Not for His talent. He’s had 1 season of 4 where he exceeded 55 games. At what point is he considered unreliable? Guy is always banged up. He’s gone 50 - 48 - 80 - 55. And for that reason, I hope we move on to someone more reliable. I do think OO would get back some good value as he is a really good piece … when he plays.

I’m not sold. Burns is a powerful dude who may surprise you in how he matches up with Edey. Stop him? No. Not at all. But I want to see if Edey is able to push his way around a bigger guy like that too.

I know there is the height advantage, but I can’t wait to see when Burns goes up against Edey on Saturday. not sure what the game plan will be - but I want to see if Edey is able to keep It up against someone as strong as Burns is. if they matchup quite a bit, and Edey continues the dominance, I may start being swayed into buying in on him as a pro. I just see him bully a lot of smaller guys in ways that won’t work as a pro.

The only true 5 I would want in the draft is Clingan, but I will always avoid big men with injury histories. Clingan when he plays is fantastic. All the other 5s … meh id trade both of our picks to get Castle if I could. He just makes winning plays. And man, he has so much untapped potential. I could watch hours on loop of him working through picks on defense. I wish our current roster would too

I don’t ever support drafting for Need. I’m always against that. That tends to lead to you reaching. I hope we go BPA regardless (trade it if it’s a PG). and as for this draft - the true 5s leave a lot to be desired imo. Not sure id take one in the top 25.

His shooting always been a ?, but he’s found a way to go “cold” these last few weeks. Shooting himself into needing to return to UVA.

Good to see that from Snyder tho. Get that in check or you’re asking for an injury. Or retaliation.

What makes Edey a better prospect than Jahlil Okafor offensively? where is okafor now? Pass on the big fella for me.

The idea of Ingram may outweigh the real benefit given injury history. I would have 0 interest of having him AND Hunter AND Bogi on the payroll at the same time.

Just like that it’s a game. You expect our guys to keep shooting like < 20% all game??? I just need to see aj and bufkin get some burn.
