Cam (or anyone else) what do you think about the Grayson Allen tripping situation? It's just kinda bizzare.

I don't follow college sports but looked him up, what a punk.

I does kind of remind me of another jerk, me! We used to play 2on2 at an LA Fitness back in the 90's, it was a makeshift court inside a racquetball court. Being the only sport I played throughout my youth was hockey I found it damn near impossible to not throw a hip into a guy as he'd dribble around me! Seriously, I knew it was against the rules and wasn't doing it on purpose, it was like muscle memory took over. In Grayson's case I cannot think of another sport where this could just be habit, he just an asshole!

That's a good story SP. I had a similar one. When I was playing flag football in college intramurals, I had trouble not throwing forearm shivers when someone would come up to de-flag me. It was simply a habit I had developed while carrying the ball. Almost got in a couple fights over it.

As of today we are nbadraft.net has us picking 6th and taking Jonathan Isaac.

They have OG going 23rd. I know a few of you like him and he would add something this team doesn't have in physical ability.

It's early DX has OG at #9 in their rankings. I haven't seen him play this year but based on what I saw last year I thought there was potential but really what I loved was what looked like a big physical specimen that could play defense and have a complimentary role as an offensive player.

We really could use someone that dishes out some punishment on this team. Someone with the size and mindset.

We should draft another pg.

I would agree they definitely should look closely at the PGs in this draft, they're that good. I hope they start playing Dunn more minutes to see how he progresses to better evaluate him.

I have a really hard time believing that Thibs is going to keep this pick, assuming of course they don't turn an actual corner and take the 8th seed in what is a relatively weak bottom half of the west and lose it. I would have no issue with them using it on a quality PG assuming his shot isn't a work in progress and they can get a solid forward in exchange for Rubio, or cap space in exchange for rubio that is used on a quality forward.

It is a good thing I'm not in charge of running Minnesota's pro teams as I'm getting really fed up with potential! Drafting another young player who has the potential to be a key element of this team may well be the right move, but I can't see it.

I wonder if we trade him if someone wants him and we get the right return just knowing that we can replace him in this draft.
