We might regret this whole night considering how crazy it has been.

Yeah, I would've even preferred McBride. But no biggie.

I think reach at 25 (though Grimes at 25 is probably a reach too)

I think McBride is the pick at 32

One of the top 3 point shooters in College bball don't sleep here guys. Scored a ton at the combine scrimmage. Houston was one of the top defensive teams.

Don't think Grimes was a reach he was a firm first rounder. I wanted a PG and a wing and we can still do that here.

Yeah, that's why I can't go crazy. Once Coop is here, I'll feel better.

Hoping for Butler. Kid is going to be a solid Pro. High BB IQ and great composure. Shot 41 from three and part of a very good Baylor team. Only reason he is this low is an overhyped medical condition.

He played for a demanding defensive oriented coach in College too in Kelvin Sampson. He is the right kind of culture fit.

Yeah, but you could say every pick after 3 has been a bit of a reach.

I like Sharife, but I would be surprised if we drafted a smallish pg for Thibs.

It’s been a crazy night, but our strategy has been all over the place.
