You never did.
6' 8" and 6' 10.75", but they'll definitely play another guard in there somewhere.

MCW/Middleton/Giannis/Parker/Henson is the lineup that will probably see the most light.

MCW needs to be banished from the NBA. I never want to see that gangly idiot botch a layup again. I try to appreciate every player for what they can do rather than what they can't, but MCW sucks, he sucks

Nah replace MCW with generic veteran guard like Delly or Bayless. Or possibly Ennis.

And then Plumlee over Henson.

Unless I missed the latest news, didn't Kidd say Giannis is their starting PG next year

He will handle the ball yes but he won't defend PGs. So ideally they have a combo type guard playing guard. Last year when MCW was banished to the bench they played Mayo as an example.

Edit: Also why Bogdan was an interesting choice in 2nd round. He could develop into a 3 and D guy which is all you really need with point Giannis. Also has a 6 10 wingspan if we are still playing that game.

Brogdon is the unanimous "this guy should have gone before someone named papa john" player of the draft. He'll be a good role player in the league and is in the perfect situation.

The Pistons are attempting to trade Jodie Meeks. It looks like a salary clearing movie, and they said the want to free up space for Reggie Bullock and Darrun Hilliard. That's a lie, because I've never seen Reggie Bullock accomplish anything on a basketball court other than make hilariously wide open threes, and Darrun Hilliard doesn't exist

They're supposedly in on Horford but I don't see any big name free agent picking Detroit, even if they actually have an interesting young core in place.

Wait a minute, Giannis is loving 6'11"? Since when?

He and Embiid kept on growing (2+inches) post-draft.

I think Devin Booker grew an inch over the past season too.

Is there anyone in the NBA whose wingspan is roughly their height? Love and Griffin maybe? I feel like it's become a league of Tayshaun Princes.
