Love it. No idea if JJ can coach but he's an arrogant, hateable dude that seems like he is obsessed with ball. Bring on the black cap. Either way I'm here for the memes.

You can take the player out of Duke but you can't take the Duke out of the player. Maryland fans back in the day were relentless against him.

Personally I love Dillion Jones. Hope the Pacers find a way to get him

I’m sure I’ve read analysis that fights harder to get to the conclusion it clearly went into things with the intention of reaching, but not recently.

Gives us the extra depth that we needed and another player that likes playing defense.  Perfect fit.  For the first time in my life there’s a path to the mountain top and the previous two years are going exactly I wanted and expected to work out.

This has to fall into the "No Sh*t Sherlock" category:

Lakers "odds on favorites" to draft Bronny. Lol, really??

Forgot tonight was the draft and that it is not done all in one night thank the gods. I usually don't watch the second round.

Edey goes No. 9 to the Grizz. 

Wow. 

Did not see that coming. 

[Stuhoo]

Grizzlies draft Edey at #9.

The crowd (presumably led by Grizzlies fans) boos.

[Stuhoo]

I kid you not … the Spurs just traded Rob Dillingham to the TWolves and received a sixth grader and seventh grader in return.

So you have maybe the most explosive kid with the ball that I’ve ever seen and you use a lottery pick to draft a guy who will absolutely constrict his space? 
Ok then.

The Grizzlies are not known for their savvy decisions.

Pretty sure we’re gonna be laughing at, like, most (?) of these teams for passing on Knecht.

He’s 23 and these lottery teams think he’s too old and now Miami’s probably gonna take him right here and he’ll be a winning player for 10 years.

Nope, Kel'el

How did they get that entire green room setup inside Woody's house?

That would be valid(ish) if this draft wasn’t generationally bad. I just don’t get it. Who are these friggin’ guys?
