Any chance Silver grows a brain and rigs the draft for us after we miss the playoffs?


Oh God who am I kidding

Rokas like finding $20 bill in the ski jacket you forgot was there!
One way to look at him is he could make IQ dispensable in a trade scenario.
I Very much could see him on a two year deal with an team option. Handshake deal he gets an opportunity and by mutual agreement if it don’t work to set him free. That kind of thing.
Any opinions to his defense? Other than being a white euro stereotype with below avg footspeed or lateral movement?

He and quickley are so different. We need them both. Guard depth is so important in the league.

Hmmm, I don't think I've ever read anything about his defense.

I think consensus is that the Rok will never be a point of attack defender. I do remember him holding is own in SL tho. He's got decent size and toughness, so I think you could hide him.

Man if Deuce could just hit a shot, I think he and Rokas could be good 2nd unit back court guys.

Ironically, he reminds me a little of Jalen Duren, at least in that he looks like a man among boys out there.
For 18 the guy looks huge.

I'd love to get a young center who can learn behind Mitch and one who (someday) could shoot. We REALLY could use the spacing in a center like that.

He would be a great stash pick for the Knicks

Any players in Europe worth keeping an eye on aside from Wembanyana? Maybe sneaking under the radar because he's getting all the attention.

Yeah, especially from France We've had such good luck from there recently it might be worth giving it another shot.
