This is a bit of a tradition at SpreeGoogs. After drafts, I get all worked up and yell things, no matter what happens. Kind of like Ollie Williams’ news reports.
The idea of assigning draft grades is not something we really approve of SpreeGoogs, but it’s totally fine to have draft reactions, and that’s what you’re about to see. Thirty of them. Bigger. Bolder. CAPSer. Pacer.
Please, Anthony Bennett, make sure no one gets any mock draft picks right this year

DO YOU REALLY MEAN TO TELL ME THAT IN YOUR ESTIMATION, THERE WERE, AT MOST, 22 PLAYERS BETTER THAN SOLOMON HILL? DIDN’T MILES PLUMLEE TEACH YOU ANYTHING? or
