AROUND the NBA:

I wanted him so bad in the draft, when he was projected outside the lottery. I was looking at him thinking what am I missing? He looks like a top 5 pick easily. He was already proven in Europe. His footwork and basketball IQ popped. I think I said: Get him and worry about Porzingis later. Six months later Porzingis was traded.

Then I wanted Poku badly, too.

I remember having such reservations over his ability to guard in space and the perimeter. Turns out I was focused on the forest instead of the tree in front of me. 

Sengun is insanely talented. Crazy to me he fell as far as he did looking back on it now. Even crazier the Thunder drafted and then traded him that same night too. Them having Chet+Sengun would've been unfair.
