Huh like Lowry is still there? Or huh like how will he drop that far?

“Huh” like, “Who projects a player playing for any team for fifteen seasons?”

Brian Cronin:
Zach Harper on Jalen Suggs in Toronto, “A healthy, calmer season for the Raptors should see that core back in the playoffs, and it gives them their lead guard for the next 15 years.”

Huh?

I like Suggs. I like him better than Cade I think (although not much of a draftnik.)

Great news for one of my favorite potential targets with one of our firsts

yes, karma is a mirror – hopefully we don’t have to stare at dolan’s reflection anymore while viewing the knicks…

We’ve been over this repeatedly.

It’s like trying to explain to a MAGA why it’s a good idea to get a Covid vaccine. You’re wasting your time.

I was just thinking about how we passed on Mikal Bridges and had a moment of clarity about that period that I had forgotten. At the time, it wasn’t even clear he would drop down to us. Many of us feared he was going to be selected before we came up.

We knew before the draft that he was pretty much a 99.9% chance to be there, because the Cavs had made it clear they wanted Sexton and all of the other picks were clear ahead of time. It was in the months leading up to the draft that there was a lot of consternation about whether he’d be there or not. I used to, like, celebrate any rumor that suggested that, like, Sexton was rising or Bamba. 😀 And I liked Bamba a lot, too, but at least it meant Bridges would be there!
