Thoughts on Okongwu?

[KB21]

This was my guy in this draft.  High upside defender with some untapped offense.  Great hands.  Untapped shooting potential.  

[Cwell]

love the pick. Actually who I wanted

Who should we take at #50?

Probably a PG considering we took a big at #6.

It was good to see that Trae already welcomed him to the team!!

 

This is Trae's Team.

He's been doing that. He was the first to call Cam last year

I like Tre Jones. I don't care what anybody says

A lineup of Cam, Hunter, Big O (gimme time yall ), & Capela is definitely the type of defensive line up we will need around Trae to be successful.

[Carmine]

Love it, from all accounts, haven't heard one flaw in his game. Going to be a Nigerian Nightmare on the court.

Just call him 'Gwu.

I’m fine with the pick but I think we will regret not taking Deni

I'll wait till after the draft. Just to be fair

I can just unlock the other thread

Not a sexy pic but we don't need sexy.  Sounds like he is right up our alley.

I think that pick will be just a practice player for preseason.

Again, it would be Ngwu, not Gwu.

The "ng" is one sound.

If he gets there, my guy at 50 is Robert Woodard.  

[Buzzard]

My top three for us were Deni, Haliburton and Okongwu, I have wanted Okongwo the most for over a month. Thank @Spud2nique for that. After reading up on him, I became convinced he not only had the best day one ability of any freshman, I also think he can be the best two way big in this draft.

I still like Deni and Haliburton but think both could end up with lower ceilings than Okongwu.

Fine pick.  Deni is gonna be a middle class man's Omer Cassini that can't shoot.  You guys will get over him soon.

[KB21]

Now that Woodard is gone, I’ll go with Isaiah Joe.  

[RedDawg#8]

Can we just call him O or Double-O?!

Since 21 isn't available maybe he evens wears 0 or 00.

Just me spitballing
