Jakob Poeltl is good insurance for Valanciunas I guess. He could be good, it seems like it's very difficult to predict which physically large centers will become good NBA defenders

Raptors need Valanciunas insurance? I guess the Raptors have him as comfortably the BPA and are happy having him back up for a year or two?

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.
The Kings have picked up a lot of late picks for a team that didn't even do their homework on anyone at all.

Well he's gotten hurt a lot and they'll probably lose Biyombo, so they need a back up who might be starter caliber

I'm pleased. Yeah I wanted Knight but a shooting big is good and picking up an extra pick isn't terrible in this draft. I like some of the guys at the end of the first

The Kings probably just want a fuckload of guards to whittle down, since Rondo is Rondo, Collison is off being a criminal, and Belinelli is likely gone.

The documentation, for Maker at least, is pretty substantial unless it's an unprecedented smear campaign.
