WOW Nasir is the Mcdonalds All American MVP beating Zion. Maybe we got really lucky to have this guy at 25th pick.

That means Curry is gone.

I don’t think that was ever a question.

Simons is bigger and has a higher ceiling than Seth. Let him get his minutes and develop on the court. Same with Little.

I think we see Hood and Curry walk for money we can’t afford, and we retain Kanter, Aminu, and Layman. Then add a couple vet min players looking to make a playoff run.

I agree with most of this but I think Chief is gone, possibly Kanter also if the the price gets too high. Plenty of backup center options available, I think Hood stays. Ok so maybe not most:)

I think we can re-sign Aminu over the cap, may as well pick him up he would be a good backup 3-4 for us still, and I don’t think he will cost more than 7 mil a year. Use the MLE on Kanter.
 
We have a sturdy FO, we had a bad summer a few years ago but after that our moves have been stellar. Hopefully Olshey learned from that.
 
Bad night to be a Duck they should have stayed in College -- either someone got in there ear or the Ducks are about to be hit with sanctions but whatever -- good night and was nice to hear NeO talk they are already talking deals for July not as much for tonight it sounds
 
Sure seems like they have big plans for Simons next year. Quick has been saying it for awhile but Olshey basically confirmed it tonight. He’ll replace Curry.
 
We got better value with Little than any other team with their pick IMO. People wanted Bazley as a Boom or Bust pick so why not a higher pedigree Boom or Bust at the same pick. It’s great value at 25.

Bazley actually fell right around where a lot of thought he would drafted and didn't mention Little due fact I thought he would be off the board. Matter on ESPN they had Little 12th on the board.
 
I think we're going to get to see Little as a rookie, and maybe quite a bit. He's physically ready to compete, and he's a beast attacking the basket. He defends. Guys like that can get on the floor quickly.

I like where your head is at, but first, I am excited about summer league.

Olshey killed that press conference I don’t care what anyone says. Talking about Paul, you could tell how much it affected him. First time he spoke from the heart...looked like he was about to cry.

Wasn’t the first time!
 
Atlanta has the potential to be pretty sick in a few years.

Atlanta
Memphis
New Orleans

I like the future of all 3

I have to disagree. The knock on him is that his on court decision making is well behind his physical talent. He has the tools, but he has to learn to use them. Frankly, I expect Stotts to bury him the way he did Simons. If he cracks the rotation before year 3, it will be a pleasant surprise.
 
A few interesting guys I think went undrafted: Bowen, Naz Reid, Tacko Fall, Kris Wilkes, Ky Bowman, Dort and King. Actually, lot of guys with Pacific Coast ties. Wouldn't mind seeing them get a few of them in summer league, see if they might be worth a two-way contract.

I think we actually worked out Bowman, who is close to an NBA ready point guard, who is strong with the ball and can shoot it pretty well. Thought he might get picked late. Could be an option for cheap PG depth.

If he was going to be handling the ball, I could agree with you. But he's not. His current value is as an energy guy. I'm not sure what Mo Harkless gives you that Little doesn't, other than experience.

I guess that's the biggest thing. Are any of our wing forwards so imposing to keep Nassir Little off the floor? He plays with more energy than Mo, Chief or Jake.
 
Detroit and Atlanta had my favorite drafts at first glance.
