I had my heart set way too high on Sharife Cooper and now I feel disheartened ;-(


And chance Copper makes it to 58? ;-(

Agreed. Would have liked a better pick at 34 though.

Got a future 1st, a 2024 possibly high second and kept the draft intriguing while getting our two main men and an euro stash with potential.

Too many twists and turns but they seem to have done it.

Amazing how they traded back and got more assets and exactly who they wanted anyway.

They called him Dragan Goric without the first step on the Chad Ford stream.

Mcbride
Grimes
Solid draft and stash candidate(Rarely pan out so I'm a little down on this despite the praise this guy has)
Future 1st
future detroit 2nd

From picks 19,21,32

Decent moves all alround. Not great but not bad either.

The Future is Bright!

Folks were right about him falling into the second round. I saw some clips of him and loved his D. Didn't think he would last until 36.

Both he and Grimes look like they have strong bodies, decent wingspans, and they can play D and hit from the perimeter.

Three decent picks in a rather strange draft for us in terms of exchanging picks.

Sucks if that’s all. They got more value in the second round.

If that top 18 protection is true then this just went from decent to average...possibly below average..
