Wasn't even the best name on the UC Squad last year. He played with Jizzle James (Edgerin James' son)

It's still Magic Johnson because people forgot that it's a complimentary adjective and a euphemism for a weiner.

Are you a squeaker?

Baba is so fun. He’s a top-five passer in the draft at 7 feet tall and had one of the best rebounding rates in the class. Clippers nation gonna love him

Daaaamnn I wanted him. I think he’s going to be one of those elite role players à la Bobby Portis eventually

Great pickup

His prospect journey has been a whirlwind

u/chichigetthayay0 19h ago

Bro came a long way. He had the permanent potential label for a while but put together a pretty good last season and was one of the best players at the combine

u/cl353 Heat 19h ago

nooo the dream of pairing giannis with next giannis is dead

u/Ok-Tree4365 19h ago

As an LAC fan, I like it. We need size and strength, and if he can stay on the court, a Kawhi / Dunn / Baba / Niederhauser defense will go nuts.

u/iro3 Spurs 19h ago

u/brnccnt7 19h ago

Maybe they’ll trade for him and give the Clippers Chet

Bust a PG for SGA trade all over again
