There are rumors that Pelinka is talkin to teams to acquire a 2nd round pick.

They're also talking to Hawks to make it a 3 team deal to create max slot.

Bought no. 46 from the magic

Oh s**t! We've been good at late picks the past few years!

The dudes on lakersground have been screaming they wanted THT all night.

6'4" 240 lbs with a 7'1" wingspan

ESPN Pre-Draft Analysis
A hefty playmaker who can shift anywhere from floor general to power forward. He's competitive and powerful with an excellent feel for the game, polished handle and developing 3-point stroke.

Despite standing 3.5 inches shorter, Horton-Tucker compares favorably by other measurables to Draymond Green, and his ability to slide up to the 4 on defense yet operate as a point guard on offense could make him appealing to outside-the-box front offices.

He looks good on the offensive and defensive end both. A bulky guy for his height. He looks like a good athlete though. He runs and jumps well for his size. I'm impressed with his deep shot. He has a good long range shot. A good pick for where they picked him.

He is almost certain to make this bare roster in search of minimum pay players.

Not bad

THT has the same freakish sized hands as Kawhi.

6'4 with a 7'1 wingspan is ridiculous. I didn't even know that was possible lol. 9 inch difference

For reference, KD is 7 feet with a 7'5 wingspan.

Freak of nature!

Lolwutttttt. Is that PJ Tucker's long lost cousin? That dude's arms look like they can touch the ground. Can tell he cheats a bit on D knowing that he can block guards from behind, won't be able to do that in the pros. I don't love his jumpshot, but as far as a defensive specialist that's an intriguing pick. He doesn't really look that athletic, his arms are so damn long he doesn't really need to jump that high to dunk. He is the youngest college player in the draft, he doesn't turn 19 til November. Honestly, with his arm length and overall body it looks like he has room to grow another inch or 2. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up around 6'6, that would be huge.

Also - our scouting department gets more than benefit of the doubt. They have been ROCK solid, so I am excited they got back into the 2nd round and made a pick, whoever the hell it is.

THT also represented by Klutch sports. lol

Looks effective. Kinda like a Paul Pierce style. Solid all around game not very fast but knows how to position his body on defense and puts that weight to create looks.

I am actually more intrigued by the guy we just picked up, Zach norvell out of Gonzaga. Guy can really shoot, may be more effective initially as a spot up 3 pt specialist.
