I'm a State guy but I wouldn't take TJ at 9. His outside shot is too inconsistent at the moment and a lot if his "garbage" baskets aren't going to come as easy in the league.

But with that said if he's there at 24 then they should run to the podium with the card with his name on it.

TJ Warren's game is more like Morrison than McDermott's.  Streaky perimeter shooter, but makes a living in mid-range and driving to the basket and shooting floaters in traffic.  That is how Morrison made his living at Gonzaga.

 

Having said that I think TJW will be much better than Morrison in the NBA, not that that is saying much.  But I am a believer in TJW

I realize we all like to poo on Adam Morrison, but he was actually well on his way to being a productive NBA player before he blew out his knee, missed an entire season, and lost most of his quickness (and he didnt start out with much)

 

I mean he wasnt going to be an all-star or anything, but he could have been the first or second guy off the bench

Most forget his first season wasn't all that bad production wise, his knee going out ruined his career. Just no one knew it at the time and expected him to play similar with a better FG% then he did as a rookie and it never happened.

Seeing Warren being compare to Leonard. Would want at 24.

 

I don't think he will fall that far, but if he did I would take him in a heart beat at #24.  I would pull the old Panthers 2 seconds and the pick is in deals.

 

I wouldn't mind Early at #24 either if we go G or PF at #9

I don't think they'd take both McDermott and Warren since they play the same position.  Maybe something like:

 

9 - Stauskas

24 - Warren

 

or

 

9 - McDermott

24 - Hairston

 

Some combination of 2/3.  Like I said in another thread, as long as we get shooters, I'll be happy.  We gotta get some more scoring out there to help Big Al.

    • This might be a good time for a Jerry Richardson reference.   ...   Actually, no it wouldn't 😕
    • Nicolas Cage is certainly fun to watch in "Nicolas Cage" roles (Face Off, The Rock, 8MM). Parts generally need to suit his particular persona or things can wind up looking kind of silly ('Not the bees! NOT THE BEEEES!!!") Having him play an actual historical figure... eeehhh, just seems like a bad idea, similar to having Dwayne Johnson star in a biopic about Martin Luther King 😕
    • Dude, I’m sorry but I don’t get your worries about this magical culture and fan involvement. We’ve sucked balls since 2018 because we actually did what you want to do. Limp along and try to win as many games as possible without actually being good. All that does is cause the same problems you didn’t want to gamble on happening. Well, they did what you wanted and what did we get for it? 7 drafts and Young, Horn and Brown, not exactly a SB winning core. We haven’t won more than 7 games since 2017 and you are worried about risking our culture, etc.? That’s silly. Cam and Luke have been gone for 5+ years now. We finally had a draft in 2025 where we actually had our full allotment of picks. We absolutely screwed up by not going full rebuild. Texans did in the same window and they’ve been to the playoffs multiple times and have a much better team. Any fan issues now in Houston even with the Watson massage debacle? I will separate this statement because I get annoyed at back seat driving type comments. Many of us like minded draft followers and GM and wannabes said that we should have tanked in 2022 and traded every guy where teams offered quality picks. You might not like it, but we were 100% correct. Sure, Fitterer might have pissed them away but the Rams 2024/2025 1sts would have been Morgan’s picks. You also have to rebuild through the draft, period, which is why bad teams try build up picks, not trade them all away or don’t take hauls when available. There’s not one team that rebuilt through FA and was successful. It doesn’t exist because the key guys (Eagles OL/DL, Hurts, Mahomes, Kelce, Chris Jones) on Super Bowl teams (Kuechly, TD, Cam) are drafted. I grew up in CT and I went to Pats games when people handed you stacks of free tickets in the parking lot because no one wanted to go to their games. One QB and a bunch of solid OL/D picks and they were a different franchise. We can only hope that Canales is the right coach and that 2025 is the start of drafting well. If I’m being objective, we’ve still got a ways to go.
