    Ok, how bad are Whitmore’s medicals?

  2. IceTraeDaGang

    We have a million guards wtf are you doing Landry

  3. sherbert-stock

    bruh we already can’t get get griffin any playing time

  4. jffx_net

    great pick, he was BPA and he’s a great PG that can take over for Dejounte after being the backup

  5. CoachKillerTrae

    if whitmore ends up being a dawg i’m gonna be fucking sad dude

  6. Taking678

    I much preferred Lebron Bufkin but let’s see what this young man has to offer

  7. raiderrocker18

    good flexibility to move of Trae while he still has perceived value

  8. Sammcbucketts

    I really dislike this pick, and the process behind this.

    The second we made this pick was the second this pick lost a shit ton of trade value.

  9. ahend1999

    love the curly-like mullet…ok ive know him for like 5 seconds, and i would do anything for him

  10. Dabeer27

    Guys Kobe is incredible this is a great pick

  11. lupe2012

    I have no idea who he is but let’s fucking goooo Kobe

  12. myhellcatgotRepod

    Another fucking guard AND John Collins is still on the team I really don’t think basketball is the sport for me anymore, let’s see what they’re doing overseas in that Cricket thing

  13. 343GuiltyySpark

    What’s he doin with his hand on his moms thigh??

  14. dangheckinpupperino

    Kobe is really good but I still would’ve liked to see Whitmore. Medicals can be salvaged with discipline

  15. CooCooforCucu

    Michigan fan incoming : to keep it short y’all will love him. Wish he came back 1 more year

  16. street_bob1136

    I take it all back, wasn’t familiar with his game. I’m with it, kid is nice

  17. I would be shocked if we don’t move off DJM now. Dunno how I feel about it, but I don’t dislike Bufkin as a prospect.

    Drafting for need is stupid anyways, but it’s hard to feel great about this pick with the roster looking like it does right now.

  18. leeghandiz4me

    The fat espn guy keeps mentioning trae being traded.

    I don’t like the fat espn guy.

  19. HopscotchChampion69

    This is an awesome pick, Bufkin is an unreal finisher not just for a player his size but in general. Showed a lot of promise as a playmaker and shooter as well. Love his game.

  20. Shade_Raven

    Now we have a 3rd young guard that can play with both DJM and Trae who also plays defense

  21. Yall I see the vision.

    Tatum’s gonna wanna trade for Kobe, we getting JB and Kristaps in return.

    Nick Ressler masterpiece 🙏

  22. Young, committed defender, good pedigree, hard worker. Can fill a role as a backup in the near future.

    Not what I would’ve done but here’s to hoping he can be an impact defender sooner rather than later

  23. HoxTalksFitted

    Lets be real if Schlenk made this pick yall would be so excited and act like its an act of genius lol

    He’s a good player just trust the process man. If Whitmore is falling this far there’s legitimate medical concerns. And Bufkin was, imo and seemingly in the consensus opinion, the BPA besides Whitmore. Also Whitmore is like Saddiq Bey 2.0. We got Saddiq Bey 1.0!!!!

  24. Ricciardo3f1

    Let’s use our brain guys… they know way more than us, if Whitmore is falling down so easy, then he prob failed his medical

  25. No_Relationship_3077

    All I gotta say is Livley, Hawkins, Coubaliy, Leonard Miller, and Kobe was my big board for us. Most of these guys went ahead of our pick and some of you are doubting the Kobe pick. I hate that this fanbase barley looks into the draft and thinks we should just take any big name available. A lot of you tired to trash the guys I wanted for no reason. Glad we got Kobe man. I only wish it was somebody higher on my board but Kobe has massive upside. He can be what we though Dejounte was

  26. tburtner

    Does everyone really like Whitmore that much, or did they just see him high on the mock drafts?

  27. WzrdKelly10

    A player on this team not named Trae, Bogi, and AJ who can go left naturally and not lose they dribble 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  28. trofesh195

    Good pick. Didn’t want to have to trot out Aaron holiday or someone like that when Trae or djm are out.

  29. KingdomOfDragonflies

    Still not sure what we’ll do with him. We are in win-now mode. We need to trade Collins and Hunter for a baller at the 3 and put Jalen at the 4.

  30. A lot of people arent happy but imma trust the process 🙏🏾

  31. EveBytes

    My new doberman’s name is Kobe and he’s awesome. Therefore Kobe Bufkin is going to be awesome. That’s my logic and I’m sticking to it.

  32. carrythekindness

    Thrilled. This is a great pick for us.

  33. NoVacayAtWork

    I can’t believe y’all comment on basketball and don’t actually know anyone who plays in college. Kobe Bufkin was seen as a potential top ten pick this week.

  34. techno-wizardry

    Plus defender, good passer, and a slasher who can finish at the rim. Great potential backup to Dejounte, or perhaps his replacement in a doomsday scenario where we can’t resign him.

  35. Maleficent-Border885

    This is an “in case murray doesn’t re-sign” pick

  36. truth_b0mber

    Athletics john hollinger – For the Hawks, the idea of getting a big combo guard who can play next to Trae Young but also take minutes as his backup has to be tempting, especially since Atlanta needs a Plan B if it can’t keep Dejounte Murray beyond this season. Bufkin would likely be the Hawks’ primary choice, but he’ll be long gone by No. 15. If so, it would likely come down to George (gone at No. 13 in this mock), Wallace or Jalen Hood-Schifino.
