The Bam pick actually doesn't surprise me other than that fact that Miami has Whiteside.

If we are signing Holiday it would have been better to draft Monk.

Maybe Holiday plays SG? He's 6'4"... I mean, we'd have to unload Wes to create enough cap space to sign Jrue anyway, so it's not a given.

No. I backed up Monk the whole time, but DSJ is the pick if he is there. The Holiday noise means nothing until FA starts.

I'm seriously still shocked he dropped. I so wanted it to happen but this is Dez Bryant level shock for me.

Or like trading down to get the money for Dwight "im sure he is coming because his agent says so" Howard
In the draft u get the BPA and dont think about the FA

Yeah I don't see a DSJ/Curry backcourt working out well, at least on the defensive end so it would make sense to get some size at in the backcourt.
I'd actually be ok with Wes moving back to SG now and becoming strictly a 3-D guy....at least short term.
I see Curry being moved now.

@Boweman55: Finley was asked if there's potential for more action coming in the draft.
"That's why I'm down here and not Donnie," he said laughing.

I saw some Patton comparisons to KAT and now they are on the same team.
Great night to be a Wolves fan.

The sarcasm in that statement is why in the hell are we signing Holiday when we just drafted a great PG?
But perhaps UD is right that we need more size and D in the backcourt.

I predicted Monk with the dark horse Collins who were 10 and 11, so I wasn't far off. Just glad our guy was there at 9.

Smith
Curry
Matthews
Barnes
Noel
Dirk
Smith, Barnes,and Noel are a good core of young players. I really hope we find a way to move Matthews and get another good SG or SF.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Jrue honestly. I would really like for Wes to play 2 again and get a bigger SF or similiar PF type to pair with HB.

It all feels like a dream. Getting DSJ in this draft is an absolute home run. Dig into his camp footage. Guy is elite. Dominant. Under rated because everyone wants the next Greek Freak or John Wall clone. They want to validate their genius by picking the next Porzingis or Dirk. Over thinking the process imo.
In all the same ways that Fultz was still the best player in the draft despite mediocre to terrible defense on a bad team, so is DSJ. He carries slightly more risk due to the knee injury and lack of size, but he is as explosive, dynamic, and skilled as they come. There is no draft where he shouldn't of been a top 5 pick.
I'll stick to what I've said from the beginning. Fultz, then Monk, then DSJ. I'm not mad we skipped Monk. It made sense in the situation and the Mavs love their locker room. Would of taken some serious rearranging to make it fit and build around. You give me the 3rd pick and I would be asking for the same guy.

Hmmm....in what way though because Chris Paul plays low to the ground and doesn't ever really leave his feet. DS vertical is crazy......Sort of Steve Francis and Baron Davis like......

Yeah the Chris Paul comparison is way off but other than that thanks UD for landing us our new point guard!

Yeah, I admit the CP3 comparison was off, but I was watching a crazy highlight reel of him tossing no-look dimes back in HS when I typed that (can't seem to find that video now though).

Yea. Though I was surprised how well DFS shot the 3 in spurts and overall play. I'm hoping he takes a big step next season.

Thunder are cheap bastards and dont want to pay Roberson...so they get the replacement on a rookie contract.
How about buying a 2nd rounder and picking Hartenstein

The NBA comparison for DSJ is Steve Francis...and I think the comparison seems pretty apt. If so, getting a Stevie Franchise with the 9th prick is an absolutely steal. He wants to be NBA rookie of the year...and he might make that happen.
