Event With the 11th pick, Blazers have selected Cedric Coward & trading him to the Grizz (2 Viewers)

[inconceivable]

I am 100% sure Cedric will maintain his 3-game averages over a 20 year NBA career

Of course he's going to cool off, but if you watch him play he looks very comfortable out there and Memphis is giving him a lot of minutes for a rookie.

No shit. If some kid was hitting 72% of his shots I'd keep him in 48 minutes.

I really think he's going to turn out to be the Grizz's best player. Kawhi without the uncle. Shoulda listened to @JDC. Still, we've got our millions of Chinese fans...

It's been 3 games, ffs.

Can't stop me thinkin'. Check out that plus/minus. And remember that he never played Summer League because he was recovering from an injury.

Wow those +/- numbers are brutal. He's not really making anyone around him better, is he?

This guy is going to make the Blazers wish they had kept him. I think the Idea of going for Hansen will be a good move also but no question Coward is a stud.

Looking forward to seeing where they both are in three years.

I think you will see Coward play better faster but Hansen might be a steal also. You gotta give something to get in this world. Also there is that unprotected first rounder. Is it Charlotte? Can't remember Orlando?

It doesn't hurt that he's had 3 years of college ball and is a full 2 years older than Yang (for those who like to quibble, he's 1 year and 10 months older).

But I think we need to reemphasize this neat thing called "sample size". Eventually he will return to earth, just as VJ Edgecombe wasn't going to dominate the league, nor is Cooper Flagg not going to be ok, or Ace Bailey going to only average 1 ppg.

Whiffed on Coward, who may be better than Shae like right now lol

Yang has been literally unplayable. He’s too slow to mesh w this offense we are trying to run

Turns out modern NBA SG need to shoot and play defense. Shae can’t do either

Well, here is the guy I wanted to pick. He hasn't got a minute of playing time yet; he's very young though.
Essengue didn't play during Wednesday's 115-111 win over the Pistons.

Spin: The Bulls appear to be bringing the rookie first-rounder along slowly, as he was unable to crack the Opening Night rotation. Chicago could be better served by sending Essengue to the G League's Windy City Bulls so that he can get consistent reps and development time, but the parent club could opt to keep him around while Zach Collins (knee) is sidelined.

I really liked Coward, he was my guy at 11. Want to get behind Yang but it'll be hard watching early returns for Coward given that he's wicked old for his class.

I don't get it

Orlando in 2028. Likely be in the 20's

also got Atlanta's 2027 2nd

I don't get it

That's not my fault.
