I love his game! Very reminiscent of Paul Milsapp
Why did Wizards want Bilial at #7 wouldn't he have been available later?
This draft reminds me of when the Pacers picked Kawhi Leonard.
Great pick. Exactly what the Pacers needed. Another dog to run with Mathurin.
The Wizards did not need to trade up. Walker was the obvious choice for the Pacers.
Love it
Outside of Wemby who is the clear top prospect, Walker and Hendricks are the two lottery players id want on my team. Walker's passing ability and slightly better feel for the game probably puts him ahead just , imo. He looks a great fit for the Pacers, assuming they hold onto Turner.
Smdh… 👏 you have a defender and "ready" player.. Now I'm hoping I'm wrong about Hendricks. Because he has it on BOTH sides of the court.. He'll probably become a Star player. Dude shoots like KD and we take a guy who can't hit the broadside of a barn with his pull-up shot..
Fine "fit" if you wanna stick him in a corner and say a prayer… Just have him play defense.. Hopefully his "float" game is on point… smh.. ppl wanna talk about "feel.." lol smh.. goes on both sides of the court. Sure he's more ready in his defense and body in some aspects. Yet here is a guy who can also shoot the ball in every way possible while doing that same thing on D… while he's also better at positioning his body. Staying vertical and has boost behind his jumps..
Idk what else to say… I was lowkey pissed…. I guess the Pacers took the safe pick… uhh…. I hope I'm wrong about Hendricks now.. Jarace has the size on paper, but it doesn't translate on film.. the offense is completely near non-existent…. Hopefully he puts in work.. He looks like that guy… He will need to continue to be that also… especially on offense.. yet I don't see that ever becoming a strength.. you can just tell that about someone.. should be able to anyways…
Awesome pick 👏
The Pacers made the Wong selection at 55. TJD was still there. He could be a useful role player and it would have have given casual Pacers fans another reason to follow.
Do we have any summer league games?
