I'm not a fan of Beal's game either tbh, but he's only 22 and since this is next 3 years, he's pretty widely considered one of the most promising young players in the league.

Kemba's certainly better right now but I think Beal has a higher probability of having a better next 3 years. Plus his skillset fits my team needs way mroe. Same reason I didn't pick Jimmy Butler.

I will say this draft is way less clear-cut as to who are good and bad picks since it's so hard to predict 3 years in the future.

I was considering taking Al Horford a pick earlier too but I def like Whiteside better.


Whiteside is toxic, selfish and a petulant child....

Reminds me of Andrew Bynum...giant waste of talent.....

once Whiteside gets paid watch him

How have you not taken a big man by the 4th round?



I took AD with my first pick, figured I could wait on a center. I'm happy with my picks I just wanted Whiteside or Drummond lol

I don't think he's a cancer. Not like you're making him out to Be at least

Luckily we aren't voting based on personality.

Or at least, that's what's supposed to happen.

Not hard to only consider a basketball player based on his basketball.

There is a lot more to a player that just their on court ability, leadership, potential, etc is all up to interpretation.

Makes sense!

I needed a rim protector. :)



Yes. Agreed. I just glimpsed at your roster. It's mirroring the Clippers' big 4. Whiteside is very similar to Deandre Jordan which is the kind of guy you need next to Blake griffin on defense.

My only concern is... The clippers cannot win a championship where talent is spread through 30 teams. I'd be scared to build aroun them in a 12 team league. That being said, the clippers biggest weakness is depth so who knows

Whiteside is overrated defensively
