Did I miss where tjd was considered an nba center? I thought people considered him being a pf in the nba. A position of need for us.
TJD didn’t even want to be drafted by the Pacers, wow okay. No big loss there.
Bro, TJD MADE an NBA roster already
He wouldn’t have made a roster spot here. We were literally trading down for a better shot at two way guys.
It worked out better for TJD. He would’ve played the entire year in the G League here At GS, he’s one injury away from getting NBA minutes
So basically a cool trading market forced the Pacers from making a win-now move by trading the 7th and/or other things, and continuing the rebuild. Thank you opposing teams lol
Look I aint salty about not getting him but I am calling BS on him not wanting to be here. The timing of his tweet last night was exactly after pick 47. I think he would’ve liked to play here.
That being said, as an IU fan, I am extremely excited about the Warriors taking him. I think if he’s going to thrive he needs a good situation and he landed in the perfect one. Go get sum TJD.
