    Jack Kayil remains the final intriguing player. He was committed to Gonzaga but decided to stay in the draft. He shows VERY nice range, with a smooth shot, big body and hustle defense. With Ime's emphasis on maturity, I would not be surprised to see us go fishing with this young man from Europe, as we have room at the guard position and can give him minutes instead of some garbage G-Leaguer who will never be more than a minutes absorber.

    It's like getting a potential lottery 2027 pick in this year's 2nd round.

    He could have played at UT and made more money than what he'll get now.

    This is what you get when your team have an incompetent GM.

    Great teams like OKC and Spurs are still getting young talents.

    They have more young talents than us.
    They are far better than us.

    Rockets organization sucks.

    The Spurs refuse to be content. They needed more size and got it.

    This was a good draft talent wise I guess but insanely boring, moves wise.

    I think the NBA shot itself in the foot with the new anti tanking draft structure.

    Basically they made the value of future picks too uncertain to address last year's problem which resulted in teams reluctant to make moves
