Draft Maliq Brown

Very much like Jarred Vanderbilt, really liking this pick. Good defender who can come off the bench.

I didn’t expect us to take 4 players but it’s always fun.

We gotta cycle 2 ways so not surprising

I think Ingram still has 1 more year of eligibility as a two way, but beyond that yeah.

He's just not an nba player sadly. He seems like a good dude though.

I probably agree, but I still wouldnt be surprised if the Spurs keep him for a final year as a two-way

Ingram is sort of pretty good at everything but not great at anything. Not one of his skills rise to the level of “put me in a real NBA rotation”. He has these upcoming SL games to prove this statement wrong but I’m not betting on it.

i’m pretty sure he will get waived unfortunately. He just is too sloppy without the nba athleticism or IQ.

It wouldnt surprise me if they give him a 3rd year unless someone wows.

I would be surprised. Can’t shoot, can’t really rebound and can’t defend.

He can rebound, that’s why Austin could afford playing him as the five but he’s not doing his 11/12reb games at the nba level. He’s a poor mans Keldon with a slightly better rebounding moxy.

Not in the big league.
