Like the Young pick.  We needed a shooter for sure.  I wanted them to take Randle with the 6th pick if we are dealing Rondo.  Randle is an immediate impact player, IMO, and will be better by season's end than Bass, Sullinger or Olynyk.  Just my opinion.  Hopefully Brooklyn will stink it up this year and we will get a top 3 lotto pick next year.  I would love to see us get a legit big like Jahil Okafor or Myles Turner.

I really hate the wasting of draft picks for these overseas guys who aren't even going to play here for 2-3 years. My opinion is the NBA is half watered down product due to all these freshman, sophomores and high school kids coming out.  I feel as though they should have to play through their JR year of college. It would do 2 things in my opinion. Make the college game that much better and strengthen the NBA. You have guys coming out with real experience and better all round picks for those lottery teams.

Preach.

 

IMO, the reason why the cellar dweller NBA franchises have trouble turning things around like NFL teams do is this reason exactly.  You have the "lottery" teams constantly drafting kids that are 3-5 year projects and by the time they are actually good, it's free agency time and they jump to a contender.  If they adopted the same rule as the NFL, it would improve this situation tremendously.  As for the overseas players, I also couldn't agree more.  The second round is nothing but teams trying to find the next great Euro player.  The number of quality players who don't even get drafted now out of college seems to increase every year.

      Financial advice from kamala harris

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up From the article: “As a parent, then as a homeowner, if you have some equity in your home, then you can say to your child, you know, ‘don’t take out the loan,’” she said. “‘I’ll take out some of the equity to help you pay for tuition so that you don’t graduate with extraordinary student loan debt, and so that when you graduate, you can do your dream job.’” Essentially, Harris suggested that parents give their kids a leg up in the world by being the ones to take out a loan instead. Except theirs would have much higher stakes than just needing to be paid back — it could mean losing their home. 🤦‍♂️

      It has been frustrating seeing the lack of coverage from virtually EVERY media outlet.  We (Chester) are in the SE Texas coverage area.  There are no radio broadcast from our area, and Ch 12 is the only one that has even mentioned it.   I know I could have gotten donations to cover a SETX Sports broadcast.  Oh well, water under the bridge - we aren’t as big as Silsbee, WO-S or PN-G.
