Jordan’s got one of the nicer Viking sport fishes out there. Wins tuna tournaments all over the eastern seaboard.

Maybe, but it’s no longer cheap. $300/sf for a 25-year old cookie cutter on 1/5 acre (my house)

I was just talking about Charlotte with my buddy. His cousin pays way too much to live in something called a double or something like that. It's considered a single family home but he shares a wall and a roof with another single family home.

A duplex? You don't have those in Chicago?

When I did my stint up at Osborn we’d call those country club cabins.

Kon was asked to play the perfect role for him. Liam was asked to do too much because of roster construction.

So we’re saying we know more here than all GMs and draft analysts?

Nah we don’t. Take the blinders off. GN.

You think all the picks who are taken high are better than all the picks who are taken low and GM's don't blow it all the time?

The best player for the last 5 years in the NBA was drafted #41 during a taco bell commercial.

It’s usually quite accurate. You should compare the NBA careers of all #4 picks vs all #29 picks and see what stands out.
 
So the truly important question now seems to be will Liam have to settle for a condo in the Charlotte real estate market because he slipped to late 1st round? Kon can clearly afford a nicer house

Or I can just look at all those #1 studs Anthony Bennett, Markelle Fultz, Michael Olowokandi, Ben Simmons, Andrea Bargnani, Kwame...who had better careers than everyone in their drafts.

Now you’re just gaslighting.

If Kon played for UConn and Liam Duke you wouldn’t be saying this stuff. Liam will be good, Kon deserved his draft spot and was significantly better than Liam in College. It’s okay.

I watched the '89 draft. Portland told Cliff Robinson that they would take him with their 1st round pick. They didn't. He was the last player sitting in the green room. By the time Portland drafted him in Round 2, he was back at his hotel room.

In Cliffy’s defense, he was a legendary partier at UConn who earned the second round selection through 4 years of raging that even the most incompetent background check was going to catch.

I didn't say anything about what they deserve or who had a better freshman season. What a strange response.

The point is we don't know how their careers will turn out and scouts and GM's get it wrong all the time.

You need to look up what gaslighting actually means. You're not the only one, it's used all the time and often used incorrectly.
 
Eh. Not sure which is more out of place: Knueppel going 4th overall or McNeeley sliding to 29.

I mean, yeah, McNeeley was a traffic cone on D (especially after his ankle injury), but let’s not pretend Knueppel won’t get exploited as a floor spacer at the next level.

TBH I would’ve taken Bailey, Johnson or Fears above him. A catch and shoot, not-so-athletic wing guy at 4? Blecch.

I need to go start the coffee.
 
Starting off with a CONGRATS LIAM!!!

But..29 was lower than expected, and super surprised Boston took a guy who averaged 5 points and 2 rebounds in Spain over McNeeley, considering they love movement shooters

Charlotte isn’t the best place for an NBA prospect to go, but lots of backup forward minutes available with Bridges and Miller starting (both missed a significant amount of games last year)

Don’t love the situation. I’m assuming that he slipped in the draft and he didn’t know he’d be a fringe 2nd rounder going in. So I’m still on the hill that he made the right decision at the time, but hindsight will be 20/20 when we see him play in the league soon. Still expecting him to perform well!

EDIT forgot they drafted Kon too. Feeling a little less good, but still imagine there are bench minutes available. Clearly the Hornets are looking for shooters, so make your shots and you’ll get minutes!

Sounds like you need to get in the Subaru and take a ride and a deep breath when you wake up this morning. You had a busy evening playing GM, real estate agent inventing a new name for a duplex. You were gaslighted because someone doesn’t know what gaslighting is and apparently you think you’re the smartest guy in the room (insufferable) had to play professor lol. Also, you played social leader again being overly offended by a silly comment. Thats a full night! You must be exhausted wearing all those hats while trying to sound superior as most of us laugh at you.
