If we were keeping at least 4 picks my hope was Demin, Coward, Raynaud, and Saraf. You had mentioned Traore' entering the draft, so I like that pick as well. So I am pleased even though the overwhelming consensus around the league is relatively negative. Thanks for starting this up again. Appreciated your work with Doug on Locked On Nets.

Thanks for coming over to support the WGN relaunch 🤙

Maxime remains a player I will watch, even though he slipped well into the second round(age related possibly).

Coward would have been a nice one obviously, though I will say I have some plans to compare him with Powell and if Drake can be put on a developmental track that has shades of what everyone loves so much in CC

I don't watch basketball nearly as much as I used to, but I did look at a lot of highlights of possible picks for the Nets since they had four picks (ended being five). However, I hadn't looked at Powell. I went back and looked at him a little after we drafted him and I am definitely encouraged. There is more ball handling than I thought. It is straight-line, but there is speed and he did a good job with nice bounce passes in transition. So I believe your comp to CC is apropos. Powell is even more athletic than Coward, the upside for him is more than I thought.
