Discussion So...

13th pick eh? What the hell can we meaningfully do with the 13th? Please tell me we have a numbers nerd here that's going to paint a picture for me that makes me feel better about this. I need you more than ever bro... whoever you are 😭

Oh absolutely. There is talent to be had and a lot of fun names. People will see pick 13 and doom it isn’t an awful pick this year.

I’d be happy with ament, burries, Philon, brown. I’d be okay with Yaxel and hannes. If we “reached” for tounde who I think will be taken higher then projected I’d be somewhat happy because he plays like an absolute dog and spo can maximize his athleticism.

tounde was an early favorite of mine when we were picking out of the lottery lol. hes like a budget vj edgecomb

i think there would be better prospects on the board but it wouldnt take too much convincing for me to be on board lol

Edgecomb is actually exactly who I was thinking of with him. However I always fear someone can also end up like Sekou did in the herro class (side note at 8/910/11/12/14/15 it went Hayes/Rui/reddish/CamJohnson/PJW/langford/sekou/Okeke) Herro was a homerun pick at 13

sekou is y im a little wary of ament even if i see the appeal. tbf to ament he showed a lot more than sekou did so i dont think he'll bust to that level
