B-but… B-but… Shaivonte Aician Gilgeous-Alexander??

@ThunderHusky17 ITS A SHUTTLE DRILL 😂😂😂 This dude is officially retarded. For anyone wondering you’re not meant to “flip your hips” in a shuttle drill, it’s a measurement of lateral quickness.

[Denver’s Daddy 🌩️ @ThunderNLiteng]

@ThunderHusky17 @CrainNBA He averaged 23 minutes a night last year and that’s more than we need to offer him year 1 and 2. But go off, I forgot your OKC’s draft expert.

@OKCskittles “hE CaNt ShOoT”

[Nick Crain @CrainNBA]

Aday Mara anchoring the paint will allow Chet Holmgren to roam and be a weak side and open space shot blocker. Just some unreal defensive wrinkles that frontcourt duo will unlock down the road.

Aday Mara in the pro lane agility drill. Moves his feet pretty well at 7'3...

[All Things Thunder @all_things_OKC]

If you didn’t watch much Michigan basketball, watch this compilation of OKC’s Aday Mara.

You’ll see flashes of elite playmaking with some of the best rim protection you’ll ever see.

[Denver’s Daddy 🌩️ @ThunderNLiteng]

@geola388 Mara is a taller Hart replacement, at worst, for when we inevitably have to move on from him. (Hopefully after a year or 2 w/ Mara) With a ceiling of being like a 7’4 Hart/Chet hybrid. Couldn’t be more excited for him to prove these dumb fucks wrong.

[Denver’s Daddy 🌩️ @ThunderNLiteng]

@ThunderHusky17 @CrainNBA You ask about mins too, he doesn’t need 30 mins a game. 12-15 mins, max if he’s playing good. He has conditioning issues currently but you have to iron that out first and then maybe you can talk about extending his mins when Hart leaves after next year.

[Denver’s Daddy 🌩️ @ThunderNLiteng]

@ThunderHusky17 @CrainNBA The dude is 7’4 basically who can have 2 years (if Hart stays) basically to get into better shape, work on his shot, and just overall develop into a potential taller version of Hart, can potentially shoot wide open 3s.

[Denver’s Daddy 🌩️ @ThunderNLiteng]

@ThunderHusky17 @CrainNBA It will be crowd this year if we have all 5 players, you’re right. But this is a pick for 5-7 years down the line without giving up any size from losing a guy Hart because he will be too expensive.

[Denver’s Daddy 🌩️ @ThunderNLiteng]

@ThunderHusky17 @CrainNBA BECAUSE WE CANT KEEP HART FOREVER. You actually might be a fucking idiot. His floor in theory is Hart, passer, screener, roller, defense. Sleeper of a 3 pt shot, plus Chip can work with him like he did with JWill (who also couldn’t shoot well coming into the league)

[Nick Crain @CrainNBA]

Isaiah Hartenstein will be the starting center in Oklahoma City for at least two more years, but Aday Mara absolutely has the upside to take that role over by the 2028-29 season.

There will be massive Chet Holmgren x Aday Mara lineups for the foreseeable future.

[Denver’s Daddy 🌩️ @ThunderNLiteng]

@ThunderHusky17 Just be sure to stay on that side when you’re proven wrong fn

[Denver’s Daddy 🌩️ @ThunderNLiteng]

@ThunderHusky17 You can go read my reason, I tagged you.

[Denver’s Daddy 🌩️ @ThunderNLiteng]

@ThunderHusky17 you’re not right. If at worst he doesn’t develop a jumper then you basically got a taller/cheaper IHart for when he leaves. You give fuckin “Nate Ament at 12” vibes

[Denver’s Daddy 🌩️ @ThunderNLiteng]

To all the OKC fans bitching about Mara. You’re not seeing it, you’re adding a taller IHart for when he inevitably leaves. (Hopefully not this year, mentorship) Plus if our development is as good as we say it is and Mara can dev. like JWill did, he’d be a hybrid Chet/IHart.
