Title: 2025 NBA DRAFT

Our next potential get is projected Top 10, we will see Egor Denim.

CoHawk would be wise to go this year based on this way too early projection. Very skilled on the Big side of players overall, and very international as well.

NBA is trying to get global and global is really taking over the drafts now and more so moving forward. 13 out of first 30 are "true" international types and more will show up on this projection.

Some way, some how, the Bulls need to find a way to get Matas Buzelis.

Good trade for the Bulls. I was hoping they could’ve gotten a pick too, but I’ll take this…

With Matas Buzelis still there at 8, the Bulls need to find a way to get him!!!

Looks like they’re gonna let DeRozan go to free agency and get nothing for him. What a terrible organization…

They can make up for it by selecting Terrence Shannon Jr…

He'll probably suck. Should have just picked Caitlyn Clark and pissed off the WNBA gals even more.

It’s weird how they’re so obsessed with a player’s age. One or two years seems like you’re a senior citizen. It’s fucking wild. Some dumbass teams. It’s almost like they have no idea what they are doing, yet these GM’s are making millions of dollars and I could do better. They suck!

Having Dalton Knecht fall to the Lakers is insane. He’s gonna be really good and I hate to say a great pickup for them. All because of his age.

TSJ to the Wolves. Finally.

Good pickup for the wolves

Also good for Terrence going to a team on the upswing and not some dumpster fire

F*cking Bilas with the play by play that everyone is aware of already....F*ckin Dukie.

TSJ definately dropped, without the history, possible POY candidate, and Top 10 for sure. Good team to land with though. Upgrade at SG other than ANT of course. Those 2 on the wing at the same time could be dangerous.

TSJ to the Timberwolves is great for him. Going into a great team and situation. Good for him and can’t wait to watch him in the NBA!

Somehow, some way, the Bulls need to figure out a way to get Kyle Filipowski in the second round.

Oh wait… 🤔

Good thing for Minnesota is that TSJ already feels at home playing in the Target Center

You have to think Wolves scouts were watching him play there during the B1G tourney. Super impressive!

He’s gonna be teammates with Luka Garza too. There’s the name of a guy who was NPOY in college that disappeared…

Domask signed a Exhibit 10 deal with the Bulls. Guerrier signed a similar one with the Raptors.

I don't know wtf that is but hopefully it leads to something for the both of them.

Had to look it up. It's a non guaranteed training camp contract with option to turn it into a two way.
Can be accompanied by a small bonus.

Todays's fishwrap had a story in support of TSJ.
The headline ... "Shannon passes background check"

Twolves President is Tim Connelly. And the writer's description of the events from the night at the bar thru the trial and Whitman's thought processes on including Shannon's jersey as an Honored Jersey shows that he did his homework. 👏👏

"But Connelly had no qualms about picking Shannon despite his legal battle over the last year. After making the pick, Connelly made a strong statement in support of Shannon’s character.

“It’s a shame that it’s even a footnote [on his career],” Connelly said.

“It’s a shame to say he was acquitted — if you really dig, it’s a really unfortunate thing for a kid by all accounts … is a great kid.

“Oftentimes, the minute you’re accused you’re found guilty.

Thankfully he went through the legal process. He chose to go to trial because he knew he did nothing wrong. I just think it’s a shame he went through that and I think it’s a testament to who he is as a kid and his ability to play through a really tough distraction.”

Connelly said the team did “a ton” of work looking into Shannon’s background and the case, which unfolded this way: Shannon went to Lawrence, Kan., to watch the Illini football team take on Kansas on Sept. 8, and while there he visited a bar."

12 pts in 15 min and leading scorer for the TWolves at the half.
4-4 from the floor.

I know it's summer league so the grains of salt are many, but watched the T-Wolves today and TSJ and Dillingham both looked solid. TSJ could get a lot of 2nd half PT on that team with his ability to draw fouls.

Post by: Gokuwearsorange/blue on July 20, 2024, 08:02:51 PM
Seems TSJ injured a toe and possibly out the rest of the summer league. He was averaging like 17 pts a game so he has shown he can score when healthy
