Have they never seen an episode of Ball in the Family? What did they expect? :heh:

It's all a smoke screen though as he's not falling outside of the top 5. It's a smoke screen with Edwards as well. Some teams lower in the top 10 want them, but don't want to give the assets and move up to get them.

It's a smart move actually as teams want to trade down and not get up. Get the player you want without the expectations that come along with drafting them high.

I will say the interview process was never gonna be their strongest suit.

You’d still take them both top 5 though right?

I just don’t think the value is there this year for both Minny and GS to use the picks for someone that can help them win right now. And in GS case, they could desperately use the fusion of young talent on roster. Especially with other teams looking to trade down just as they are.

They’re not top 5 on my personal list. I ain’t the GM picking though.

Up to 180 lbs is huge


Im on the bandwagon for my Bulls ... even at #4 which is higher than ive heard him talked about....he doesn't have the dribbling and shooting concerns of Hayes ... he doesn't have the erratic concerns of Melo... he doesn't have the shot creation issues of Halli ... Him White Lavine would be a terror on the fast break and he put that work in to bulk up 15 pounds ... if he just refines his decision making he can be a solid player :ehh:

Yea he's just as young as those guys and his floor is a lot higher. At the very least he should end up being a nice sixth man
