Keegan Murray picked #4 overall. The whole basketball world watching.

The very first words about Murray are from Stephen A Smith:

”I never saw him until he went up against former NBA Coach Mike Woodson at Indiana.”

LOVE it.

Benny Mathurin let’s RIIIIIIDE. Fired up about this pick.

Sorry, the Ja Morant comp for Jaden Ivey is just lazy and wrong. So sick of hearing it. 

[Demo 19,917]

Love it.

[Hovadipo 56,036]

Stephen A. and the fellas going on for 5+ minutes about Jalen Duren going to NYK - which ISN’T HAPPENING - is incredible television. I can’t wait for Stephen A. to be told what’s actually going on.

What is going on?

EJ Liddell right here. Please.

Duren went from Charlotte to NYK to Detroit in about a 3 minute span at pick 13 but ABC was VERY late to the last leg of his journey and Stephen A. and Jalen were breaking down how Duren fits with the Knicks. It was gold.

Thought we got a gift there, but Nembhard hopefully can make McConnell expendable in the near future.

Nembhard’s a good player. Played well in big games. Nothing wrong with it. But, man, I love Liddell. Kid’s gonna have Paul Milsap’s career. And he’ll be great in the locker room and great in the community.

Love both the Pacers picks. Especially Nembhard. That's an awesome pick. Best passer in the draft that can play alongside Haliburton and Mathurin.

Makes McConnell expendable immediately.

Benedict Mathurin

Andrew Nembhard

Kendall Brown

 

That's a good haul for the draft I'd say. Now just gotta get rid of Brogdon.

Agree. Really like Brown as a lottery ticket at 48. Spectacular athlete. Multi-positional defender. Doesn’t need the ball. Just turned 19. The shot’s a problem. Dude could wash, no doubt, but he could play a long time as an energy guy and has a chance to do more.

Had Brown returned to Baylor and improved his shot, he'd have been a lottery pick next year.  Low risk, major upside here.  He's your potential starting SF as early as the 23-24 season if his shot improves.

Brogdon is expendable.  McConnell won't be moved.  Can you imagine how pesky McConnell and Mathurin will be on defense?  Woof.

I'd rather see how pesky Jr is sitting on his couch elsewhere as Haliburton, Nembhard and Mathurin play.

With Carlisle, I think Brown can be another Dorian Finney-Smith and okay that 4 spot. DFS, Mo Harkless, Al Farouq-Aminu... Guys he could become.

How many guards do the Pacers need? Didn’t like the Nembhard pick. I like the Mathurin and Brown picks especially relative to who was available.

Nembhard was the best passer of the draft and is 6-5. So he has great potential as a backup behind Haliburton or even playing with Haliburton. As of now the guards the Pacers have are Haliburton, Nembhard, Mathurin and Duarte. Brogdon and McConnell aren't important anymore.
