Please post your thoughts here. 

Guess what @sturt, Bud wasn't on the stage.   He was there front row though. :).

That is really weird.  I don't recall having ever seen something like that.  He either has to be a good boy and accept his demotion and shut up about it, or hit the road.

Actually it happens all the time.  You'll probably see him on stage with the new free agent signings.

It is normal for teams to just have their GM introduce the draft picks. That said, in 2013 Bud was on stage with Ferry (man has Bud put on a lot of weight since then). But I wouldn't read too much into this. I think it is probably best for Bud to distance himself from the GM role right now because he likely has talked with Millsap prior to Schlenk coming and told Millsap that he wants him back. Now Schlenk comes and Millsap being resigned doesn't look as certain.

Sorry Dnice, forgive an older man for not knowing modern terminology, but what does "rock O" mean?  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Well "rock" also refers to crack so ... our draft pick is on crack apparently.

Or it could mean he's wearing 0 as his jersey number.

You decide.

[Dnice]

Yes,,@watchman, excuse me, he'll wear#0.

 

Oregon guy in #2, and the French guy in #11, for those who didn't see.

I like 20 better anyway. As a football fan first, people wearing 0 has always rubbed me the wrong way.

Hoping someone will post a link once the recording is up somewhere. Can't find it on anything from Fox Sports or on the Hawks Facebook page, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right place.

[aali34]

Lets get it!

 

[sturt]

Watching the selected clips on that Twitter feed, one thing that really comes across is a maturity level that's pretty impressive. Not sure I can agree with Schlenk that this is the most "versatile" collection of draft picks, but I definitely agree with him that they appear to have hit a home run where it concerns character.

God.  This is how worldly I've become.  When you said football fan, I thought is he talking "American Football" or soccer....Damn you Atlanta United!

[Dnice]

I thought something was funny, since I thought 20 was available. Nice to honor a fellow Deacon, but thanks mom.  0 feels like a mascot number, but that's just me.
