When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Dejan Bimble posted:

Jonathan Givony was talking about how NBA teams have Smarten Upped aabout 1 on 0 workouts. They hire 35 year old retired players to really challenge prospects, as sort of a sneak attack, and it's damaged the stock of several guys.


This is how Russell got picked, was that he was really impressive in the old dude workout where the other guys they brought in were medicore or bad.

We are one. Although, I'm tempted to throw Cheick Diallo in here as well. But he may actually just be really raw ala Serge.

What happened to him? He was averaging 4 blocks through the first ten games and just died apparently.

I think so, if they have any indication Horford is leaving, for sure. If not still maybe cause they have what, Mike Scott, Splitter, and Moose as bigs? I think Skal will be in ORL and Sabonis or Baldwin in ATL.

Honestly I just wanted a seal picture
So hawks now own the 12th pick in a trade that they gave up Jeff Teague, do they pick a point guard to back up Schroeder or pick up someone to replace Horford when he inevitably leaves this summer?

I think it's either Baldwin or a PF/C. Although Thabo is like 32 or 33, so Luwawu (or Richardson hahahaha) may be in play as well.

Guerschon Yabusele intrigues me. He's kind of fat, but has a nice feel to him for some reason.

Me either but the Hawks are stuck in that limbo where they're good enough to make the playoffs but not good enough to advance and boy it feels like they've been there since like 2005 doesn't it

But anyways Skal is probably the best shot at a home run in that range

To be fair, no Eastern Conference team is doing jack poo poo until LeBron retires, so it doesn't matter.

I am watching an ESPN Draft special from today because I am a draft fiend right now and Coangelo still wants the idea to be out there that he is considering Ingram to the point he was going over draft scenarios for their later picks if they he picked him. I don't get the point at this time when Chris BOUDSARD (my phone corrected it to that so I will leave it) didn't even ask him about it.

At some point a non-LeBron East team will be the appropriate levels of well managed and lucky to become a real contender. I don't think anyone really comes to mind right now, though.

I can't tell if it's legitimately a bad draft or if that just means it's all going to be on scouting and lots of late round surprises will end up being good. Guess we'll know in five years.
