Yaxel was doing some cool highlight stuff in the first game

But this is what got him lottery.. two perimeter deflections into a run out at 6’10” 245

Yax with the perfect display

Tobe Awaka would be an interesting pick if available

@Yaxel_Lendeborg I know a good book you can read to help ready you for success

[The Book of Barnett @BookOfBarnett]

@Wittnessed Bigs like Mara likely won't mature before you have to max them (ex Utah and Kessler as an example of having a solid contribution but unease to pay max $). If you draft a Mara you almost have to early decide you will max them even if they aren't mature at the end of a rookie deal

Appreciate Spike Lee acknowledging the frozen envelope on national tv

Dad's outfit is the best of the draft 🐯

[The Book of Barnett @BookOfBarnett]

Bigger than Harrison Barnes (2+ inches & 20 lbs, 7'3 wingspan). Have to think he's a full time 4+ for Kerr, meaning playing time next to Dray KP/Horford going to be an issue. Seems like a high floor, low upside fit.
Shot 51-37-82, w/ 7 rb (meh), 3a (to 1 TO), a steal & block

@samesfandiari Let 30 million dollar options go for nothing when they are the only way to work the cap rules

C46.1b: To keep grinding when shots are not falling takes mental toughness.

Falling apart right now

C46.1: Mental toughness is an ingredient most NBA players have or they wouldn't be here in the first place.

Leapers like to leap

Warriors legend @Rjeff24 called this out in real time.

Chapter 8: Use the rim to protect layups from being blocked. For example, use your right hand when driving to the left side of the rim. It’s not always best to shoot it left handed from that side.
