ItIsWhatItIs

Actually, if Ja can play at a league average level his rookie year, I can see 30 wins maybe. Our role guys like Tyus, Anderson, Plumlee, Crowder are blah guys who don't make mistakes. Assuming Jaren and Val are above average players which is a pretty safe bet, it's really dependent on how Morants game transfers. Obviously having a Lillard type rookie transition would be the best but unlikely.

He's not that wrong. This year was our first year rebuild = trash Next year = trash (25ish wins) Year after that = suspect (30-37 wins) Year after that after that = Legit goodness that goes into the playoffs and gives off Westbrook/Durant/Harden vs Lakers in round 1 2010 vibes where everyone is saying, dang, these guys got next (45-55 wins) Ja is special and Jaren gets to fill his natural Pau role, this is the start of something special.

Clarke is the kind of pick where good FO's find a way to do something. This was a relatively weak draft with really only 3 or 4 guys who are probably all-star level prospects. But to find a legitimate contributor all the way at 21 in a weak draft, again just says a lot. He is also a perfect fit next to Ja and Jaren. If Clarke can somehow get to 215-220 and develop a consistent 3, he becomes a monster. Wingspan is overrated if you don't know how to use it. Clarke is a guy who's superb BBIQ makes up for whatever deficiencies he might have. Exceptional timing, good footwork, good anticipation, decent change of direction, general feel for plays developing, those things are just as important on being a great defender as wingspan. Jimmy Butler 6'6 height with a 6'7.5 wingspan being a perfect example

Wow, imagine drafting the next Shawn Marion and a superstar PG in the same draft. What a time to be alive.

Jenkins draws up good plays so far, hopefully it carries over.

Clarke can be this core's Darrell Arthur. If he learns how to shoot 3's then he becomes a legitimate starter.

Agreed. Bruno and Allen have shown nothing

Bruno is doodoo. Clarke is the only one on this summer league team worth anything

Rabb is trash, cut

Clarke needs to stop trying to grab the rebound and push the break, it sucks.

Clarke reminds me of the Stro Show, let's go!!!

I like Watanabe actually, his handle at his size is interesting

Clarke is so bouncy, crazy how quick his jump is especially when you compare it to brick foot sloths we had before.

Jones is equal to Wright, please don't overreact

FO is building up a war chest of picks and young players with potential. We're finally going to be able to trade for an all-star level player when Ja/Jaren are ready to compete.
