Were really trying so hard to replicate the phx model. I hate it.
Yes I love it!! I wanted Keon, Jalen, Garuba, or him. I think he has more of a total game than the other 3. He can shoot and play D. Keon is an athletic freak who isn’t a great shooter. Same goes for Jalen, but he can facilitate more than any
of those 4. Garuba was my guy cause he can eventually be one of the best defensive bigs in the league. I’m just glad it was one of the 4 I wanted if we keep him.
I highly doubt we are trading it considering who we selected btw.
My thoughts on Trey Murphy III now it's been spoiled in the thread
Strengths:
- I buy the shot. His shooting mechanics are clean and he's a really excellent FT shooter too, though the volume has been unremarkable. Probably will be a real shooter at 6'9, which is valuable.
- Can shoot off screens. He's not entirely standstill.
- Really great height and length for a shooting specialist. I don't think he's quite the Mikal Bridges defender that some people have argued, but it's hard to imagine him being terrible given his build, length, strength, etc. Will be solid on D
Cons:
- Relatively low upside imo. Not a huge event creator on defense, doesn't really create for himself or others off the dribble at all.
- Can be kind of passive at times, fairly long stretches of on court time where he doesn't really make an impact on either end.
Basketball.
Maybe there’s some real fire behind the Brogdon trade rumor https://t.co/1Pgz0Nqb2K

Seems a safe pick. Makes more sense if we do not re-sign Hart. (which is contrary to the rumours of late)
Since I cheer for whoever they get(draft, free agency, trade) I am happy they got him.
The Pelicans moved back from #10 to #17 but still wound up drafting an excellent shooter in Trey Murphy III, a 6'9 wing who made 43% of his 3-pointers last season for Virginia. He was mocked to go higher:

The Athletics' Vecenie: 15
Ringer's KOC: 13
ESPN's Givony: 15
The Knicks are trading the 19th pick to Charlotte for a future first-round pick, source tells ESPN.

THis is weird
I agree. Go big or go home. As has been discussed by a million people a number of times, the odds that someone is still on their rookie team after their first contract are fairly low. The only way they stick is if they're either not very good (and therefore cheap to retain) or if they're excellent (and worth the cash).
Drafting guys who will be ''fine'' is a pretty good way of getting a guy who is just good enough to be offered more than you'd want to pay to keep them in 4 years.
Charlotte has been targeting Kai Jones, per source. https://t.co/vxQ3KpdWBV

Charlotte taking Kai at 19
Spike Lee went to the draft to watch the Knicks... trade the pick.
We still have 35 and 43.
Combine them to trade up to like, 28th and take Springer if he's there
I think you have to draft guys of this size who can shoot with requisite athleticism. They are expensive and hard to acquire when they are even average players. Like I think Saddiq Bey or Cam Johnson could have really helped the Pels last year. I think this is a good place to acquire this type of player.
Atlanta is keeping its pick at No. 20, and has Duke's Jalen Johnson at the top of its board, per source.

I like him in this situation.
I was pretty sceptical about Johnson in the lottery but at 20 he's good value.
