Speaking of here are the dudes I really liked who went undrafted. Really surprised Davis especially didn't get picked, he's athletic as gently caress and looked like a guy who could easily be in the rotation for a good team.

Seems like a decent crop of UDFAs this year relative to the quality of the draft

Second round and UDFA is probably the biggest strength this year relative to most drafts because so many early entries stayed in the draft even though they weren't all that likely to get drafted

Good pickup as a backup point guard. Think he has a good chance to stick.

He's really good on defense but yeah probably needs a couple years in the g league to figure out how to score and put on weight

I’ll never forget watching the draft several years ago and seeing the Grizzlies pick Janis Timma as Mr. Irrelevant. I was high as a kite with my friends and we all said “oh hell Yeah that guy can hoop” after watching footage of him doing midrange jumpers that had been filmed with a 1992 JVC camcorder. These late picks...they’re for the real ball heads

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.

Danny Ainge trying to convince someone who basically already uprooted their life to move to the US to in hopes of coming to the NBA to return to Europe for 2-6 years is a conversation I'd like to hear. Or worse GMs who didn't know he was a college player.

Doesn't have the same sort of feel for the game. Off ball defense and passing are not even close to as good as Iggy's , and he's also not the same kind of athlete. Probably a better shooter though. I think he's closer to like KCP or someone like that.

Dunno if he's athletic enough to stick but he was an amazing college player who did everything and grades out super well by every analytic model. Good guy to grab on a two way.

Like both of these. Jeffries is an athletic combo forward who can kinda shoot and drive in a straight line.
Not a star but he's exactly the kind of guy teams can always use more of, especially once the playoffs roll around.

Reid is fat and sucks real bad on defense but he's like 6'10", has some ball skills and can really shoot, which is usually worth a shot.

There seems to be some confusion over whether the Ponds thing is true, but if it is I think he has a really good chance to make the team
