I wasn’t too interested in a budget Amen Thompson before, but I think this seals him not being an option at 3.
Yep, his injury isn’t serious. Partial ACL torn without surgery recover time is like 2-6 months.
I’m not looking at anyone besides Reed Sheppard.
Bring me a sniper.
Let’s hope he slips into the late teens or something and see if we can snag him for cheap somehow
He was my surprised pick from Stone. But it’s definitely Reed vs Castle now lol
Was hoping wizards would pick him at 2.
He’ll be the next MPJ, Whitmore steal to fall to the Thunder or some shit
Are Sarr and Risarcher definitely going 1 and 2?
Well. Unfortunately Risacher is likely gone at 2 unless Wizards like Clingan or Sheppard more.
Looks like Sheppard fans get their wish RS seems like the only pick that makes sense now at 3 unless Rox are able to trade down.
Topic is gonna be a steal for someone else like OKC or Spurs but taking him at 3 with that injury just doesnt make any sense.
If it’s a grade 2 or more, hard pass as he was already not super athletic. He’ll be to slow in terms of quickness most likely.
