He's basically saying - You don't worth shit if you can't afford my shoe. LOL.

If he goes to a dysfunctional team, it's going to be a disaster. He's going to need a franchise with strong management, coaching, and solid vets to control the sideshow and make sure he actually develops as a basketball player.

Edit: Just want to point out at the current exchange rate it's a $650 CAD shoe.

For a shoe that doesn't have any premium materials. So pathetic.

They do look a lot nicer with a recognizable logo on them.

Bad feeling Semi Ojeleye will really impress at the draft combine. Freak athlete and really smart kid too. Hopefully he's still there at 23.

He's doing 5-on-5 as well so he might show well vs younger, weaker guys. As it stands, I think his age will hold him back closer to a bubble 1st. Really tho I think having him in our gym will be the deciding factor.

Any chance Hartenstein is there at 23?

He's mocked there now by DX. They had him as bubble lottery back at Xmas bc he did really well at u20 Euro Cup. He's still in Euroleague during the combine. I think he got a little more PT recently but I don't follow it.
U r a fan?

Yep.

Hartenstein
Ferguson
Rabb
OG(no chance he's there at 23)

I'm hoping one of those guys are there at 23. Hartenstein my #1 choice.

[lewro]

What do you like about him?

[The Great One]

He's a skilled big man(power forward). Underrated athlete too.

[DogeLover1234]

Am I crazy for saying that Ferguson reminds me of TRoss? Great shooter with great athleticism, but doesn't have a handle to use his athleticism. I have no problem taking him; there is a lot to work with though.

Shooting has to be the top priority going into this draft right?

It's been totally up in the air for me all yr. Who's are coach and which players are returning next yr? There's a lot of players I that I like in this draft and a few different directions that the team could take. Considering that FA happens after the draft and masai doesn't show his hand/often goes somewhat off-board; I suspect i will feel this way until a name is called or the pick is dealt.
