What are the Whitmore medical issues? Any idea?

 

[Ale Xander]

Hawks take Bufkin

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Is Whitmore gonna fall to the Lakers?

 

[shawnrbu]

I'm a big fan of Jarace Walker. I've got a little question about his shot and offensive game, but he's great a great body and is a dog on defense. Will be interesting to see him get a lot of run in Washington.

Walker has been traded to Indiana.

 

[Brand Name]

Whitmore is going to be a Laker, isn't he? And I'm going to hate that.

 

[soxin6]

Is Whitmore gonna fall to the Lakers?

Of course he is because I was already having a lousy day and that would be the cherry on top of the shit sundae

 

[Ale Xander]

Shirtless

Confidence

It's a medical mystery.

 

[OnWisc]

What are the Whitmore medical issues? Any idea?

He keeps falling

*rimshot*

 

[Cellar-Door]

Lol who is this guy on the Stadium stream that is obsessed with Nick Smith

 

[Ale Xander]

Wemby sounds very mature for his age

 

[Justthetippett]

Wemby sounds very mature for his age

The JJ Redick interview with him on his podcast was pretty awesome. He's a bit naive maybe, but also super grounded which has to be damn near impossible.

 

[Ale Xander]

Danny takes George

 

[ifmanis5]

Lakers are gonna do it here right?

Update: nope

 

[HomeRunBaker]

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

Shams is 5 minutes behind on the Laker pick

 

[Bunt4aTriple]

There is zero analysis, but at least now I know what Fat Joe is up to.

 

[BringBackMo]

Are the C’s actually going to make this pick? I’ve been assuming there’s some kind of deal to trade it. Could we actually be planning to integrate a rookie?

 

[Tony C]

Whitmore was ranked 4th by Bilas.

And #3 by Vecennie.

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

Shams Charania

@ShamsCharania

Sources: Lakers are selecting Jalen Hood-Schifino at No. 17.

 

[doc]

Toronto grabs Dick

They need to sign both Balls now

I assume they make it, they need cheap contracts on the roster to fill spots

 

[luckiestman]

Wife: *exasperated*can you please put on headphones…I can’t listen to Big Joe talk

Lucky: It’s Fat Joe

Wife: I’m trying to have a little class

Lucky: his momma named him Fat Joe, Imma call him Fat Joe

Wife: Lucky! Put on your headphones

I 100% expect us to draft and plug in a rookie this year and next. Brad isn't acquiring these picks to not add a rookie deal into the rotation. We are going to need to do a lot of this with two Super Max players. It won't be easy but rookie contributors can be had.

 

[Ale Xander]

Lakers take JHS

 

[HomeRunBaker]

2nd Indiana guy to the Celtics? Make it happen!

 

[BringBackMo]

Good points on the salary flexibility these picks give us. Hadn’t thought of that.

[Ale Xander]

Milf alert

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Whitemore told teams his favorite movie is ‘Hebrews to Negroes’.

 

[luckiestman]

Alas, I am a social media black hole.

ESPN.com probably has it

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Lakers take the guy wearing a green leprechaun suit.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Heat are going to take Whitmore here and he's going to be fully healthy and an All-Star by year 2, it is just how it's going to go

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Woj carrying some water for WME, and does not allude to any health issues, just "bad workouts and a couple not great interviews"

 

[ifmanis5]

Heat are going to take Whitmore here and he's going to be fully healthy and an All-Star by year 2, it is just how it's going to go

No doubt.

Update: nope.

 

[Ale Xander]

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em

 

[Ale Xander]

I don’t think he falls to being undrafted

 

[amfox1]

Jaime Jacquez, Jr to Miami

 

[Ale Xander]

I’m thinking Dubs grab Whitmore as eventual Klay replacement

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Good pick for Miami---connector, likely able to play soon, fits into the sytem and how they play.

 

[shawnrbu]

JJJ!

 

[ifmanis5]

Three Musketeers look.

 

[Ale Xander]

Huge upgrade to Duncan Robinson

 

[bankshot1]

Damn Heat draft Inigo Montoya

 

[SpokaneSoxFan]

Hate seeing Jacquez going to Miami. He’s going to be a pain in our ass for years to come.

 

[shawnrbu]

That’s his mom?

 

[JCizzle]

All I know from this board is that I want OMP and I have no idea what it stands for. Let’s ride!
