At first I disagreed with the pick, but I really really like it now. The problem with Knight and Walker is they're not primary ball distributors. Haven't we already seen TJ Ford? Our guy has solid size, the video's appear he has solid mechanics, smarts, and he looks like he has energy. Getting a big like that to have energy to me is huge, and I'm glad the Raps took him. Moving up to be Kanter would be been something I'd have wished, but I guess Utah was intent on getting him anyway.
Is anyone else absolutely shocked that Cleveland got Thompson? At 4 how do you not take a guy like Valanciunas or trade down where you'd likely get Thompson anyway (or a very good consolation prize)? I don't get it, but anyway, I do like what the Raps did, and I'm sure the guy has a very good chance to reach his potential, so that's nice.
