The workout questions, which some say was caused by a medical he's hiding.

But I was HOPING he was tanking on purpose to go where he wanted. Looks like something is off with him.

Griff is an idiot. Have to roll the dice when u picking 14. Bilas had him as #4 overall.

Probably because of them couple games that ended with awful possessions punctuated by Larry Nance corner 3s. Even he knows that shite is bad.

Well they just called him the best shooter in the draft. I can live with that.




We just drafted a 186lb shooter that can do absolutely nothing else on the basketball court. We should have traded that pick, i guarantee you we could have gotten someone better

If your a bad defender in college; you will be horrible in the NBA. Its not hard to play defense in college.

I love the pick. This isn’t a streaky shooter. The guy has a repeatable, mechanically sound, buttery stroke from 3.

The analytics are the analytics. You need to make 3s in this league and the pels just got a lot better at it

There are multiple players in the league that play solely because of that.

Antonio Daniels was on broadcasts last season saying I don't care if the guy doesn't know how to dribble. Just get a guy that can knock em down.

Dick is a much better defender lol. I mean they’re saying hes bad on tv. Like if people know your defense sucks in college thats a red flag.

I'm curious as to what the melt is about. It seems like it's about not taking a high upside guy with concerning injury issues. People point to Michael Porter Jr., he plays about as often as Ingram. A lot of the same people melting over not taking Whitmore are some of the same people that have been ready to trade one of our star players with injury issues because they can't handle the uncertainty from the injury issues.

Why do you guys hate yourselves?

He is a way worse defender than dick an can guard less positions since he's 3 inches shorter and 20lbs lighter than dick

No he isn't. He's a weak on ball defender. He makes up for it off ball and in help D. Very similar to Hawkins strengths. A lot of projecting and repeating going on here.

That's cool. They aren't worth 14.
