Mike you're one of the best on the mic. the way you add color to every basic question is perfect, while still getting the overall point across clearly.
And you keep the ear of the listener.

you could co-host one of the biggest draft pods out there

just heard the Duarte and Springer break downs, those were perfect. The way you explained Springer's potential simplified role was probably enjoyable for every listener to be able to envision

Thanks Mike! These are always good turbo last minute cliff notes for those of us that don’t pay too much attention to these guys during college season

LaMelo was right there and they whiffed. Ball would still end up in DC like Wiseman will in a Beal trade, but how many additional picks would LaMelo have saved the Warriors?

These comparisons are too ridiculously high end to have any value at all and I have no idea about the methodology, but...it aligns with my Springer agenda: https://twitter.com/Ben_Pfeifer_/status/1419412433928552448

Also this (also highly questionable and insufficiently rigorous) analysis: https://twitter.com/thecity2/status/1419700395236986882

Good point.
Thank Lavar Ball for that one. Perhaps the FO didn't like Lavars potential antics.

Apparently they liked how Wiseman wore suits during his Zoom interviews or something dumb like that. The brain trust for the Warriors hasn't been the same post-Jerry West.

The better question is Mobley or KAT (@UK)?

I was just thinking that. It's Mobley I think. KAT at UK didn't shoot but 5 jumpers; and in High School it wasn't a massive staple in his game either, but he did shoot more mids and create occasionally, I compared him to Lamarcus Aldridge out of college, because of that High School tape. Then in workouts is when he was draining 3s. Still, him becoming a high volume 3point shooter was an unforeseen development.

So Mobley. More to his game as a prospect

Detroit’s internal meetings are still revolving around three players for the No. 1 pick on Thursday night — Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green and Evan Mobley, sources tell ESPN. Detroit isn’t fully there yet on committing to Cunningham with their first overall choice.


Tick tock.

Nice try OKC.

@Schultz_Report
One NBA scout - who’s team picks in the lottery - told me this about Scottie Barnes: “He reminds me a lot of Giannis. The way he moves around the basket, the power, his skills. He’s like a smaller Giannis that way, but still big enough to do everything you need.” #NBADraft


I feel like someone's gonna get tricked.

I'm biased to Mobley because like AD, he does wing-like things but is perceived as a big.

Mobley going to Houston and learning from Hakeem would be the dream come true for his potential imo.

No one is ever going to duplicate Hakeem's biomechanics, so it seems like a fruitless pursuit for everyone that ever tried under his tutelage.

Mobley turning into some playmaking version of LaMarcus Aldridge with defensive ability, is scary.

So MikeLG, with everything into account. Realistic, Best players that fall onto that 22 range, or players that COULD fall to 22 if they are projected earlier…

Who is your favorite pick here now?

Not a fan of Kai Jones or just don’t think he will realistically have a chance of falling to 22?

Oh dang.

So basically, there’s no center in that range you like at 22?

Unless it's someone really special, I wouldn't look at any center in the 1st round. The only edge case is Day'Ron Sharpe, who I have as a 1st round talent, but I don't think he's ready for immediate minutes.

Mike whats your take on Joshua Primo?

I think he lacks athleticism but he is really young (18), I wonder if a few years of NBA training could change that. I also think his ball handling will get much better



I like how clean his game is and reminds me of a Nick Young who was a hell of a player except he joked around too much...
