    kalkbrenner looks so much like brolo out there. very slow, but keeps his hips squared pretty well and does a good job just using his size and keeping his hands up on defense. good hands/touch.

    raynaud reminds me a bit of castleton.

    amari williams seems a bit like jemison.

    lakhin--smaller kessler?

    goldin...vitaly potapenko?

    broome...less skilled boozer?

    olbrich is fun but more pf than c.

    zikarsky is interesting--huge, looks a little like rik smits if you squint, but moves better, imo. he actually moves really well for someone that size (7'4")! that would be an interesting project.

    phx has now moved to the first pick of the second round. at least we'll know exactly what they were after!

    First time I get what they are doing, trying to secure cost-controlled players to soften their bill in the upcoming years

    Lakers must have listened to Mike on Buha's pod. He said there were 45 players in this draft. We trade to the 45th spot

    Don't love this and hope it's just posturing, but to be fair, they only gave up cash to move up to 45.
