  1. Jumping to 3 in the lottery sure does seem like the Baseball Gods are giving us a Mulligan for the Jobe pick.
  2. This is becoming Detroit's biggest clown show since Oopsy
  3. Hendricks strikes me as a touch mechanical...very nice shot, but seems slow. I do like his defensive potential though. I really like Whitmore because he looks comfortable playing off the ball, can shoot the pull up three and can attack the rim, where he finished something like 65% of his attempts there. Defense maybe isn't a strong suit, but the athleticism is there to improve a bit. There's been criticism of his arm length...he isn't Wemby in that regard...but he's not Emoni Bates either. On an unrelated note...finally got around to watching "Air" on Amazon Prime...not a fan of Jordan, but it was fascinating look at one of the great street hustlers, Sonny Vaccaro, and his pursuit of MJ. Highly recommend it
  4. I drank the Jobe Kool-Aid on draft night...even though it looked like a super risky pick at the time. Now...with two years of hindsight to work off of, it looks like an act of insanity
  5. That seems like a "hot take"....did he explain why Langford is a better pick than Crews? I would prefer Langford if he's there (assuming Crews isn't) but Jenkins or Clark sound like great prospects as well. My preference is for the RH power OF
  6. Mayo has Meyer going 7th to the Reds...seems high for a HS RH..then again, I'm glad Avila is gone because he might have been in play for us at #3
  7. It's sad to see Cabrera go out this way. It's like Madonna having all that surgery to look young. She just looks awful trying to hang onto yesterday
  8. Toledo loses game one of their Conference final series with Idaho 3-0. Cossa in net...stopped 30 of 32 shots, but still took the L
  9. These days...if you can shoot the three, someone will want you...how much they play you or pay you is another matter. Do you want a guy like Bates who shoots really well vs a guy like Diallo who is stronger and more athletic? I might want the shooter instead but neither guy is getting huge minutes for me
  10. Yeah...he's not what everyone imagined when he "fell" to us...like Zadina
  11. I'll take it over Veleno has no points in four games
  12. Bates looks like a T Rex
  13. Speaking of Veleno...he's 8th in soring at the World Championships with 5pts (2G-3A) in four games. Kubalik leads with 10 in 4 games (6G-4A)
  14. Not from what I've seen...but...to each his own
  15. I'm more interested in his ability to attack the rim and shoot rather than how long his sleeves are
  16. Hopefully...Jose De La Cruz can continue his early success at Lakeland...he hasn't lived up to his billing as a big $$$ international signing, but he's still only 21
  17. Since we lack the time machine to go back for Sharpe...I'm all in on Whitmore. Unless he's gone...then I could live with Hendricks
  18. Thank you for explaining my preferences to me...so helpful!!
  19. Silly me...I like talented basketball players
  20. I've known a person or two that has suffered emotional/mental issues post COVID. It made them sadder...and a touch slower. But they were older than Meadows (50's and 60's)
  21. DFA Schoop when Carpenter returns...
  22. The Nats love those college rms...allegedly ...so we may not have a shot at Skenes.
  23. Close to year round football at game speed and intensity might be too much for players to handle physically
  24. Wonder if they'll start Langford off in A+
  25. I wish we could've draft Shaedon Sharpe last year...I really like him. Tough to bitch about Ivey...but I really like Sharpe
