As Joe would say, Caleb Wilson or Cameron Boozer….WHO YOU GOT!!?
Draft Caleb keep Ja
Most of us want Caleb wilson ๐
For Boozer – yes the inability to block shots is a concern, also getting HIS shot blocked. Saw that in the tournament.
I feel like cam boozer is a perfect fit. Cedric, jaylen well, Boozer and Eddy . Two defense minded wings a paint protecting center and an offensively talented 4 who is a elite rebounder.
LFG !!
Big nba fallower Iโm really intrigued with the Memphis Grizzlies Iโm going to be all over this team like the direction and just subscribed!! Zach Edey, Cedric Coward, Jaylen wells and #3, and #16 pick, hell ya!
Tbh i was leaning Cam Boozer cause of his stats but Caleb Wilson averaged 1.4 blocks and 1.5 steals sheeesh
hot take but i'd take acuff jr over anybody. we need a secondary creator next to ja
I would choose Peterson if he's still there at 3, and if not, I'd take Wilson over Boozer. Wilson is more athletic, is a better ballhandler, has good footwork and plays facing the basket. Boozer is a better outside shooter at this point, but the upside for Wilson would be my decision point.
What this guy talking about? The 3rd and 4th will be Boozer in Caleb, The question is which team they are going to.
From Zbo to CBooz? Regardless we got lucky with #3!! Thats rare esepcially last year was only the gap year that we have
How the jazz get 2
We all know Ja is on the way out – give me Kingston Flemings. If his only real concern is his shot, that's the easiest thing to rectify moving to the pros. No, not everyone does it – but if that's literally his only weakness, take him. His floor is high and he has plenty of room in his ceiling. And I wouldn't trade back – there is so much that can go wrong when you play that game.
๐ฅ๐ฅAs a Bulls fan Boozer is like a Point Forward
So we will take Caleb Williams
Would Paulo bancharo be good on the grizzlies? If yes then cam is a more disciplined bancharo would be dumb not to draft hom
It's got to be Cam Boozer with me.
You don't know ball defense will be HORRIBLE with 2 slow footed big men we'd get pick and rolled to death๐๐ YOU TRIPPING
is boozer the safe bet here or do you take a swing with wilson. to me the 16th pick is now important …get another big to help edey and see if mgt can talk to Ja about putting in the work and play at least 60 games and behave. start of a good group.
I would take wilson or boozer over peterson
I prefer Caleb Wilson, I think his ceiling is higher. I think Boozer has a higher floor, but I think Wilson should be the pick.
Mane I really hope Memphis win championship game this will make the city look real good ๐๐พ
Not to mention the plethora of 1st round picks they got from Bane and JJJ
