The one thing no one's really mentioning about Garland: he's the son of a former NBA player, Winston Garland. I have a soft spot for NBA legacy players. Perhaps it's a combination of genetics, coaching, and an ability to adjust to the NBA lifestyle.
Some current sons of former players: Devin Booker, Klay Thompson, Steph/Seth Curry, Al Horford, Jae Crowder, Ed Davis, Jaren Jackson Jr., Kevin Love, Wesley Matthews, Larry Nance Jr., Damontis Sabonis, etc.
Yep and the first son of a former NBA player is usually better than their dad. (Reason why Seth is ... yeah)

If you like Culver because of the Kobe comment, you're going to love Miye Oni. Grew up in the valley, idolized Kobe, and wore #24 at Yale.
So why isn't he rated higher in the draft. Looks like a great athlete in the mold of a Kobe clone shooting mechanics size with great hops. I know it's a highlight video so I don't see the weaknesses but he looks like a nice 2nd round pick up. Back up Hart
He's playing against bums in high school sized gyms
So did CJ McCollum. The question is whether that skill can translate against similarly talented players. Oni did well in both combine scrimmage games he played in.
Game 1: 9 points, 1 steal, 1 block, 2 rebounds 3-5 FG, 2-3 3PT, 1-1 FT in 16 minutes.
Again, its a small sample size of what are essentially pick-up games. But the athleticism and shooting is there, and he's got a good head on his shoulders.

Miye Oni's measurements are better the Jarrett Culver.

It's been mentioned several pages ago.
I think I've seen more talk on whether he's 6'1 than his NBA pedigree. Meanwhile, there's a photo of Darius standing next to his dad who was listed at 6'2 in his playing days which covers both.
how we yall feel about Blake Griffin if we dont land Davis or BEal with trading pick 4 for him. Could be a deal where we swap picks and get Griffin. Griffin had an underrated type year and one of his best. I think hes made his game better for himself, hes a better outside shooter and not much a high flyer and its working out for him. Could be a nice % to close games out alongside LEbron, Ingram, Ball and whomever else we look at SG

Blake Griffin is gonna break down soon, I would stay away from him.

and he will be injured and not playing when it matters most.
I would not get griffin even if they put their pick in it
According to multiple league executives, Dunn’s trade value is low to nonexistent. So a direct trade with the Lakers centered on Dunn and the No. 7 pick doesn’t seem feasible. However, the Bulls could be in position to facilitate a three-team deal in which the Lakers acquire Davis from the Pelicans.

On the flip side, Klay Thompson is way better than his older brother Mychel.
