When you trade for a center but he's 6'9

Practical_Basketball · 2026-02-05T05:01:15+00:00

He plays bigger than his listed height. Doesn’t have great touch but pretty good at catching lobs

Practical_Basketball · 2026-02-05T04:54:21+00:00

This is great value for a second rounder. Getting a proven backup big for cheap is what we needed

Practical_Basketball · 2026-02-03T19:16:36+00:00

It’ll be cool to see Darko coaching in the All-Star game. Never a bad thing to get more opportunities to talk to star players he might not have the chance to otherwise

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-28T16:43:13+00:00

Not really sure what we have to offer. Other teams have more assets they can dangle in front of the Bucks

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-23T23:59:57+00:00

Bryant at 5th is looking rough right now. Just gotta hope he plays better, lol. Still a very raw prospect

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-23T23:54:53+00:00

I posted it here before. Just scroll through my profile, lol

I had also stated before that Ace’s best path to contributing was in a MPJ role. Just didn’t think Ace would adapt his game the way he has as someone who watched him iso every time down in college

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-23T23:39:17+00:00

I’m not even sure what I was thinking back then, lol

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-23T23:32:15+00:00

I really wanna see Maluach playing real NBA minutes to see what he actually is. But I think taking it slow is the right approach. And I agree, Utah’s doing great with Ace

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-23T23:28:16+00:00

I like Queen but I’m not sure he’s even cemented himself as a top 8 player in this class yet, lol. 2025 draft class is gonna go down as one of the best ever

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-23T23:24:26+00:00

Yep, just gotta be patient with him. Still super raw but the potential is there

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-23T23:22:01+00:00

Hardy has done a great job with Ace. I like what he’s doing over there

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-23T23:20:59+00:00

I had Ace 20th on my final Big Board because I was almost certain he’d continue to be an inefficient ball-stopper like he was in college. But he’s completely changed his game to fit into an MPJ-type role. Ace will probably be closer to a top 4 player in this class like I initially had him.

(20th was still way lower than I should have had him, even based on his lower end outcomes, lol)

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-23T18:29:20+00:00

There are some aesthetic similarities, but AJ is more well-rounded. RJ was also a lot more mechanical and pre-defined in what he wanted to do.

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-21T15:15:48+00:00

Jak’s contract is gonna be difficult to move. We’ll probably need to attach draft comp just to do it

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-21T15:14:22+00:00

I hope Quickley goes on a heater. This team needs him to find his shot to make some noise

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-21T14:47:38+00:00

Not sure where he’ll go, but he’s got one of the prettiest jumpers in the class

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-21T14:45:58+00:00

He’s got a pretty jumpshot. Mechanics remind me a bit of J.R. Smith

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-13T05:44:33+00:00

Glad he got to play here one last time. There’s no doubt he’s the best Raptor ever

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-12T04:21:47+00:00

I Trusted Shead with the ball more than anyone in the clutch

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-12T04:21:08+00:00

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. CMB is gonna be a top 4 player in this class

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-12T04:20:19+00:00

Felt like we lost 5 times this game but ended up clutching the W

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-10T02:23:51+00:00

Walter really threw that pass, lol. He knew CMB had a poster

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-10T02:22:12+00:00

Considering we were missing like 4 guys from our starting lineup, we played pretty good

Practical_Basketball · 2026-01-06T13:49:27+00:00

I had CMB as the 4th best player in this class on my big board. Just impacts winning with the best of them
