Dude legit sat out for muscle soreness. Can’t make this sh*t up.
I will never forget the draft where we could have had Desmond Bane, Xavier Tillman, or Isaiah Joe, and we didn't. They were all there. What does this team desperately need? Decent rebounding big and shooting? What do those three represent? A decent rebounding defensive big and two excellent shooters. None of these were ad-hoc desires - myself and many others were begging on draft night for us to pick them, we all knew. Nah.
Basketball.
Yeah, I remember you being high on Bane very early in the draft process. Think it was the first time I'd heard about him. I think the Pels drafting, outside of 2021, has been pretty mediocre. And I really don't get it. They've squandered so much draft capital in deals for paleo-centers or undersized shooting guards, and have been profligate with their second rounders, as if they don't matter. We've needed shooting and rim protecting forever, but they have declined to pin point that in the draft (until Hawkins this year).
Watching TJD put up 20-10 for Indiana, he looked like a no-brainer in the second round, especially if you want to play small and fast and switch everything. He was a good rim protector, a good scorer inside and a good rebounder who could also pass the pall and played with a high IQ. I understand he can't shoot outside, but how many centers really shoot enough to create gravity at the arc? Almost none. I thought Jackson-Davis would have been a perfect fit for the Pels offense. Now he'll be a good piece for Golden State....
