Yeah, got to have that insurance when we TRADE one of them or he is going to be at College Park

[Peoriabird]

We should definitely trade Murray now!

Do people not understand the guy is a rookie?  He ain't replacing anybody right now.

Even after a trade, how will 4 shooting guards get minutes?

I know and you still have to pay them too.  Yeah, Second Apron here we come!

[AHF]

Very unexcited by this pick granted that I’m a total casual for this draft.  Hope he vastly outperforms my low expectations.

I agree, you're definitely a casual ... on the draft, of course. 

[Diesel]

I understand the Pick.  Right now, we have Trae and his BU is Murray.   Has nobody peeped how thin we are.  We can't even say that we have Aholi.   We will be out here with Trent Forrest if we had added Whitmore or whoever some squawkers wanted. 

Let's see:  Hunter, Bey, AJ, JJ, Bogi, Mathews, Whitmore...  Yeah.. that's exactly what we needed. 

[Peoriabird]

At 2 guard

1. Murray

2. Bogi

3. AJ

4. Kobe

5. Krejci

6. Martin

[GameTime]

Did not expect Cam to drop this far. Did he have Ja Morant with him during the interviews?

Right!  I don't get why this team is so obsessed with 2 guards

One big wing in Hunter. That said, there aren't many big wings that's capable of starting

Well I hope he can play defense

So we going to act like Bey ain't a big wing? Not to mention JJ can guard the undersized 4’s who play on the perimeter.

I know I know

Im a casual who doesn’t understand the modern game.

I do agree we need to combine a couple of those into a big wing or 3.

Heh, Bey doesn't defend unfortunately.  That's the only problem with him imho.
