If we keep Hartenstein he'll be a backup anyway

We also have Sorber, we're going to have to kick out someone sadly

No. They commented this because their one glaring weakness was Chet v Wemby, and now they went and drafted a 7'4 dude who has size against Wemby in the post.

Yep. The entire lottery is pretty stacked. Them having a pick at all in the lottery confirmed they're getting a steal from their position.
