Draft Day has come. Cronin has an untimely tummy ache and calls me in to make the picks. How on-board or upset is the fanbase with my selections?

    *Note: I believe Salaun will be off the board by 14 but if he’s still available then I would opt to take him there in place of snagging Ware. In that case I would go for a center at 34 like Bona or Dante

  2. Not mad at all with 7/14 if this was the case! Would be a solid A draft imo

    I would love you for the Cody Williams pick, then think about firing you for the Jamal Shead pick 🤣 nah, jk. I love Snead. I’m just tired of players under 6’3 on this roster

    I’ve seen worse and I love the idea of Shead at 40

  5. SnooCapers701

    Love it. I would have preferred Harrison Ingram at 34 or 40. But still, to me, this is an A draft. You chose high upside players in a weak class. That’s about all you can ask for. Good job!

    Good picks overall. Id love to see us trade a pick for a veteran but I like these picks!

    I like it for the mix of high-floor reasonable ceiling guys. I think Williams and Ware fit the Blazers’ archetype and if they hit could be really valuable. I’m a big Adem Bona fan and think he would complement Ayton well as a versatile defensive monster and more physical rim runner, and if we went a different direction at 14 he’s my pick for 34.

    I rate this 6.5/10. The main thing is that you didn’t screw up the 7th pick. Good job.

    I’m also just some yahoo on the internet who doesn’t know that much, so take the above rating with a grain of salt.

    Without knowing the board it’s hard to tell.

    I’m super low on Williams so I don’t like the pick. Don’t really care for Ware *but without seeing the board how do we know who you passed on*?

    My question would be how you plan to add all 4 of these guys to our roster. You were supposed to trade at least 2 away

    This makes me want to send some Tums to Cronin, just in case.

    Counteroffer: We kidnap Bronny and hold him for ransom. In exchange for his safe return, we get the Lakers’ first round picks for 2028, 2029, and 2030.

    Ware at 14 would be ideal. Williams or Buzelis at 7

  14. CoolVintageWatches53

    You’re fired!

    (Just kidding).

    It’s a crap shoot draft. I’m not a fan of Cody Williams after watching all last season. K. Ware and other choices look great.

    Great if it happened.

    Better than most people in this sub.

    Never forget that this is the same sub that wanted Dyson Daniels and Jeremy Sochan over Sharpe and filled with a fanbase that wanted Morrison over Roy (Morrison hype was similar to Knecht but higher) and Thomas Robinson (he’s got such an elite motor!) over Dame.

    I’m neutral on Johnson but Williams/Ware/Shead would be a fantastic trio of prospects if our goal is to build defensively.

    Ware is my favorite target at 14 unless someone unexpected drops from the top ~12 prospects.
