Now that the draft is all about 1 and dones the long term play is what we should be looking at. Take a risk this draft a la the Bucks. I think where we are picking Nikilita may be the smartest play. Ease him in, etc. Dennis Smith, Fox, and Monk would all work for me. We need to fill our holes in Free Agency, the draft is way to much of a crap shoot with how specific our needs are. Everyone should remember that defense where supposed to be the big pluses for Wiggins and Towns when they were scouted.

Yeah I'm all for BPA regardless of position in this draft. Especially with the d league option.

Not matter what we should have some attractive options in the draft. Looking forward to next year it looks like that class is a weak PG class.

Could be bad news for a few folks here that are fans of Bridges.

Sources: Michigan State's Miles Bridges cancelled agent meetings, leaning heavily toward returning for sophomore year. Lottery pick talent.

If we get all the way down to 6 that gives us a shot at Tatum who is also a solid prospect.

We better score 130 a game because that froncourt is giving up a lot of points.

is he that bad defensively? You'd think with his height and impressive foot speed for a 7 footer he could at least improve at team defense
