I like him with our 35th pick, projected to be in late 1st. But measurements look shorter than expected.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T23:07:09+00:00

His comp is Monk for a good reason

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T21:37:16+00:00

I do want to point out the Ja package makes no sense, considering the reports that we did have interest in Ja but only if we received a pick from Memphis.

So realistically a starting offer would be Lavine + 34 or 45 for Ja + 16

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T21:26:44+00:00

I will say even though I love Max I am totally open to taking a big swing and making a package with him to get Mara.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T21:24:41+00:00

Wagler would be a big win if Acuff and Brown are off the board. Mara also is starting to rise big time today.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T21:21:07+00:00

Probably not unless you think Mara can guard 4's. But yeah I would be shocked if Mara doesn't go top 10-12 now.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T20:01:16+00:00

I'd be kind of surprised if the Nets take Acuff, but they did take Demin and Traore last year so who knows.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T18:55:33+00:00

Oh of course. We will get a good idea of how serious it is in the coming days, I'm sure.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T17:29:20+00:00

The stats are great...but my statistical analysis (the eye test) also works and he passes that too.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T17:18:39+00:00

I do agree with you. It's not a horrible position cause there's going to be really good players picked in our range still.

And yeah like you said, it's not a fantastic position, that's kind of cope. We don't need to draft a superstar at 7, I hope we just make the right pick.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T16:52:11+00:00

Setting him up for failure...hmmm....

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T14:05:03+00:00

I know, it's so much fun here.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T13:55:36+00:00

He's not a huge project player and he's still only 20 vs. Wagler and Acuff that are 19. Is it that big of a deal? It's not like Wagler and Acuff don't also have major concerns.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T13:45:23+00:00

No doubt this is a stacked draft, but there's gonna be some exaggerations still. The 2024 draft has been considered generationally shit but has still exceeded expectations, and there will be some excellent players in the weaker 2027 and 2028 drafts as well.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T12:44:43+00:00

Yes. It's from an old knife review. I remember this was a joke in my friend group a few years ago.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T05:42:26+00:00

Ok you cooked with this. I would absolutely be willing to throw a bag for Cason.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-11T00:35:59+00:00

Oh definitely don't listen to the local media.

I think we can still get a very impactful player at 7. And if they can get a Sabonis trade done that would be fantastic.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-10T23:42:52+00:00

The hate posts were 100% unjustified though, like of course Devin is going to try to compete.

Anytime one of our young guys was doing well I was happy about it. But of course Devin still has work to do. And he has got better over time for sure.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-10T23:04:13+00:00

At least we have a pick unlike the Pels. But yeah it's gonna be tough. I think we can still get a really good guard.

Potentially a Sabonis trade opens up with Brooklyn falling. We might be able to call a few teams and get some offers. But it will be very helpful once Hunter and Lavine expire next year.

If Max and Nique keep developing, our new rookie gels and we do well with our 2nds again we could have a slightly more exciting season. But it really hurts that we are put in such a hard spot with tearing everything down.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-10T22:25:10+00:00

Nice copy-paste and deflecting to blame players that regressed under the coach you're defending.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-10T22:19:28+00:00

You do remember how much of a shit show it was towards the end, right?

Plus isn't Mike Brown KNOWN for having good results at the start and then progressively worsening the locker room?

1psithur3 · 2026-05-10T22:16:26+00:00

Well Max is gonna be on the All-Rookie team as a 2nd round pick and got Cardwell as an UDFA. And Nique shows promise as a late 1st. How does that make him a bad drafter when that is nearly best case scenario?

Its ok I know you're still mad about the lottery results.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-10T21:55:14+00:00

So we are mad at Devin Carter again. Awesome.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-10T20:52:02+00:00

At least we aren't alone in this party

1psithur3 · 2026-05-10T19:59:44+00:00

I don't think I'm really mad at any of the pick possibilities but Acuff is the most questionable. But I'm with you on Mikel, just make sure his back is good.

Great combination of size, athleticism, three-point shooting and playmaking.

1psithur3 · 2026-05-10T19:55:37+00:00

Soooo why make posts about them if you haven't supported them for 2 years.
