Mannion was so hyped in HS. I don't think he grew another inch or pound after that.

Kerr is good at getting unaggressive players to attack so this might be one of the better landing spots for him.

I'm sorry, a dude who looks like Mannion will never be good at basketball.

It's more that he needs to be a great shooter to really work and is just an pretty good one. I liked him a lot in high school but then he was bad in kind of exactly the way I was afraid he might be.

A lot of the shots he does take are not great ideas either. Very Jeremy Lin outside of Linsanity energy.

I wonder if Riller is telling people not to draft him in the second like Terrance Davis did last year because he thinks he can make a team and get a guranteed deal

Wizards are going to continue to have one of the best offenses in the league while having one of the worst defenses in the last 10 years.

Can UDFA's sign/come to terms/whatever it is immediately after the draft? I can't recall. Obviously it might be different this year, either way.

Guess I have to start putting all my Mason Jones UDFA to Dallas energy out there, now.

Jessup just makes me think of the prison that Cutty went to in The Wire.

And Justinian is just the Byzantine leader in Civ.

Yes. Usually agents already have deals worked out by now for the names you know.

Winston is going to be a latter day Andre Miller in that he's very slow and can't jump but he's great at basketball anyway

If Andre Miller was tiny but also one of the greatest shooters in college history

So not Andre Miller I guess, but I get what you mean and yeah he's great. Gonna be a Euro legend if he doesn't make the NBA.

According to Shams Winston is going to Washington. I guess I should've just posted it instead of randomly posting about them.

I think Winston is 6'3 like Miller, but yeah shave about 40 pounds. Killer dead eye shooting from anyone over 6'2, who can move the ball and score at the rim despite bigs and help, is a definite NBA player. I don't think he fails
