Cunningham was walking to the players waiting area with like 6 dudes (security/family), I said “Good luck tonight Cade). He saw my kids and said “I’ve only got a second, but let’s get a pic”. He 100% didn’t need to do it, I was extremely happy he did.

Suggs was unbelievably nice. He was walking with just one dude, saw us and high fived my kids, talked to us, said absolutely for a pic, and was all smiles the entire time. Very easy guy to root for, hope he succeeds.

Awesome, truly awesome.

Suggs has that Markus kind of energy that just radiates positivity and appreciation for all he has. Same reason I'm a huge Curtis Granderson fan despite him never playing for one of my teams. Was just disarmingly nice and friendly in a nightclub of all places. I'll never forget meeting and chatting withh him and then about an hour later having someone pat me on the back as I waited in line for the bar as he was leaving and said "pleasure talking to you, good luck with your lady in the red top" and winked as he fist bumped me. Helps you remember they are people too, just insanely talented people.

Yeah, they're rumored to be trying to trade 31 for a vet, but I just don't know what 31 really gets you.

29 and Jehvon Carter got Landry Shamet.

Is anyone else surprised with Bouknight likely going in the top 10? I was thinking more like late 1st . After the first four I like Mitchell and Moody. This sure seems like a really deep draft.

Bucks trade 31 for 54, 60, and 2 future seconds. Not sure I love it. Will really dislike it if Ayo is around at 31.

Just overheard in the hotel lobby, Kai Jones parents NOT happy that their son got traded from NYK to Charlotte.

Also, if you’re an NBA draftee tonight looking for some action at the Westin, whoa nellie, there is plenty of scantily clad young women waiting. Even my kids were like “OMG, people wear THAT out?!”.

Bucks would’ve had their choice of Ayo or Butler. I think they’ll regret trading 31 for 4 late 2nd rounders.

McBride, Cooper, and Preston were all on the board, too. I really wish the Bucks had held on to 31 and grabbed a backup PG.

Yea I had no issue with the trade originally, but it didn't age well with how the picks fell.

There are very few immediate impact late 1st or 2nd round picks. I don't know if it winds up being the right decision but short-term the Bucks will be fine. They'll have no trouble finding a competent back-up PG.

Zegarowsk and Mamu both taken late 2nd.

I'm absolutely stunned Z was drafted. And Mamu is now my least favorite Buck.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #138 on:** July 29, 2021, 11:50:53 PM »

Only 7 Seniors drafted and none of them were Sam. I think it's better he didn't get drafted but he has an uphill climb.

Last pick is some Greek guy I never heard of. Not even an Antentakoumpo!

It's all good if they open up more Greek restaurants across the USA.

Sam should have stayed at Marquette

I am shocked Z got drafted but I’m excited for his and Jrue’s battles in the ECF.

Greek food, is just Turkish food without the flavor!

The Bucks were never going to go with a rookie as their back-up PG. He's either on the roster (Dante), or some cheap vet they can pay the minimum.

Hmmmm.....interesting comment. I would say there are definitely some dishes that spice combinations from the Turks (and let's not forget the Moroccans) extract more flavor but sometimes less is more. Particularly when it comes to certain fish and seafood. The Greeks throw down far more seafood and pork of course. The bottom line is I need some Turkish coffee with that Morrocan cinnamon stuff right now.

Yeah I could see MKG being his floor, peaking out at a 10 & 7 type guy with good defense & significantly better passing. Another difference between the two is Barnes is more quick than fast, while MKG was more fast than quick. The former translates better to the league. Getting that shot to start falling is obviously the upside piece.

I'm very intrigued by him though, especially if he can find his way onto a winning team that had a bit of rough luck. Mask the deficiencies early.

Barnes to Toronto is a very nice spot. Surrounded by shooters, the organization already had Kawhi, and they have developed similar toolsy upside guys Siakam & OG. Will definitely keep my eye on how he develops
