He IS a usable NBA player who WILL be sought after going into his second contract. Highly sought after. That isn't a "blown off" pick. That's a successful pick.
Eh, I think that's overselling it. I'm not saying he's a Terry/Bey bust, but he isn't a great pick either.

What's your beef? Not right for the timeline?

Maybe you get your wish. IF the Mavs really like somebody there has to be a trade.
Joe Harris + #21 or #22, then try to move THJ + 2027 unprotected for Jarrett Allen. Haha that would be insane.
Come away with
Doncic/Hardy
Irving/Harris
Bullock/Green
Kleber/L. Miller
Allen/Lively

He said out of the league in five years so no timeline.

Oh, now I see the problem. You're wrong about Green, that's all. jk
Just saying, we're not going to agree tonight if that's the hold up. I think he's on his way to being a nice player. Very soon.

And GS passes too? Whitmore is definitely damaged.

This was said a bunch last offseason too. He has the tools and ability to be what you think he is, I just don't think he has the confidence.

Did Lively do a pro day or combine?
Looks like he has no hops. Hopefully a Brook Lopez starter kit. Not Tyson Chandler

Damn Joe Harris is expiring, too. That would be a great trade. Then start shopping THJ for a center.

He hit 14 straight 3's at pro day from the corner.

He barely gets off the floor. The alley oops and blocks are all wingspan.

I don't believe he will translate at all in the big leagues. He looked lost at times in college. He literally couldn't score, nor had any pet moves to allow him to score. I fear he will literally rely on Luka to feed him everything much like Powell. Sure his rim protection was solid, above average even, but his foul rate was at a pace that he'd foul out every game if he played enough minutes.
He's a dimensionless player that is 1-2 years away from being 1-2 years away. I don't think that is worth a 10th pick.

Does he drop to the 2nd round? Dude is going to have a serious chip on his shoulder.

Of course Cam goes to Houston. He will rot in that toxic culture. Dude deserved more.
