    I won't even try to put Brunson expectations anywhere near this kid. Brunson is just a different type of dawg. But, if he can get close to a FVV level, i would consider that a success.

    So they traded a 2029 2nd round pick to move up and people are crying.

    People really complaining about a 2nd round pick? Who cares! He’s an experienced college PG - makes sense to me since we don’t have one!

    Kyle Lowry was OK as a shorter stocky PG! Let’s give the kid a chance!
