  1. The trade was more than fine. Netting an unprotected future first is good business. I'd have concerns about Castle. If the shooting comes around, he could be the best player from this draft. If it doesn't, you have a non-shooting guard when you really want to surround Wemba with shooters so he has space to operate on offense
  2. Reed also gets a ton of blocks and steals He does get blown by on defense at times, but he's not a terrible defensive player, and could even be average if he gets enough stocks and bulks up a bit without losing speed
  3. Calipari did his thing and promised Wagner a starting spot to land him, and then had to play him over Sheppard and Dillingham
  4. Jimmer was a 4th year senior who shot 34%, 38%, 44%, and 40% from three. Sheppard is a true freshman who shot 54% from a deeper three point line
  5. I think Filipowski goes higher than expected tonight. Plug and play stretch 5 who can also pass and dribble a bit
  6. I wouldn't trade up for Risacher either. If he falls to #4, then fine Carter or Williams at #4 would be interesting, and then Knecht or Dillingham at #8 (if you don't go with Carter at #4) would be interesting
  7. So could many more other players who still can't shoot Also, Jimmy was actually decent at Marquette from three, albeit at smaller volume; 38%
  8. There's one good- but not great- Euro shooter, and he might not be available at #3 If you just want a shooter, then Sheppard, Dillingham, and Knecht are all potentially elite shooters, with Sheppard potentially being one of the best in the league
  9. It seems that NYK is trying to negotiate with OG, while OG just wants the biggest contract possible, which NYK is struggling to make work
  10. Vecenie says that he's heard just about every name possible connected to SA at pick #8 from teams around the league, so they've done a good job at smoke screening. He does say that Salaun pops up a lot
  11. I don't see the point of a KD trade. Whoever we cash in on needs to be a longer term option. Sengun plus stuff for Booker is fine, although I don't think the Suns make that move until after this season if they miss the playoffs in an ugly fashion. Booker also makes Green redundant and expendable
  12. Hurley let Andre Jackson shoot more threes per game than Castle
  13. Fwiw, Vecenie said on his pod that Carter is "his guy" in this class who he'd pound the table for, followed by Bub Carrington. Not sure where he ended up with him ranked, but he's probably not too far from #4. He doesn't take anything off the table in terms of defense and offensive spacing. That's fair on pairing Knecht and Carter together. Maybe Williams with #8 if he's there Givony talked about going to watch Castle before games to shoot video for his espn blurbs, and he struggled to find videos of Castle making three shots in a row
  14. What about Carter at 4 and Knecht at 8? I'd be concerned about Castle's shooting
  15. I think it was closer to fine than fantastic
  16. They traded the likely difference between the nets pick and the suns pick in 2025 for the two 2029 picks. The 2026 vs 2027 might be close to a wash Don’t love it because I’d want to keep my lotto chances in 2025 (nets probably finish in the 5-10 range again with Bridges), but they did pick up 2029 picks
  17. Talking Rockets offseason starting at the 28:00 minute mark https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ron-holland-scouting-report-washington-houston-offseasons/id986901174?i=1000660022580
  18.

  19. Teams prefer to keep contracts like that on the roster so they have salaries to match a large contract
  20. It depends on how you evaluate him Do you think he'll hold up when he gets hunted and picked on defensively? So far, he's been a much better off the ball defender than on the ball, and he gets blown by at times Is he merely a shooter, or does he add rim pressure, shot creation, and play making?
  21. Fischer's article says if Houston trades #3, they want a future unprotected pick, which is what I was thinking as well
