Man I really wanted Jaylin Williams from Arkansas. He slipped all the way to #34

I liked him too. I?m glad we were able to get Hardy though who appeared to slip from where people had him in mock drafts. I think I read the Mavs had him at 17 on their board.

Like the Hardy pick a lot. Sometimes you got to swing for the fences.

The kid is basically the exact opposite of Josh Green. He doesn't bring defense or toughness, but he's aggressive on offense and brings a demeanor this team is lacking.

Draft Winners

Detroit - Ivey, Duren (wow what a young core; there's a solid chance Ivey is the best player from this draft, getting him at 5 is a coup)

Rockets - Jabari, Eason, Moore (first Jabari fell to them, then they got Eason at 17 which to me is THE steal of the draft; getting three versatile forwards from one draft is amazing)

Mavs - walking away from this draft with Wood and Hardy is amazing considering the assets we came in with


Draft Losers

Memphis - 22 & 29 for 19???? Value wise one of the worst trades I've seen, but I suppose Memphis deserves the benefit of the doubt as they've drafted well... losing Melton on top of that will hurt.... that being said Roddy and LaRavia are both versatile forwards/ role players

I would love to see the Mavs bring in Trevion Williams. Desperately need depth at the 4/5. Wood + Kleber + Powell is not enough given Maxi's injury history.

I don't know much about Hardy. Surprised that Liddell was still available. Hardy has a higher ceiling, but Liddell will likely be a rotation player with the Pelicans or somewhere else.
