OMG. His nickname is āPlumdog Millionaireā
Is Mason substantially different than Miles Plumlee as far as game? Thatās really pricey for 37th pick if he cannot be an off the bench center.
Seriously, heās 6-11, a plus defender, and averaged 10.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks per game last year. His numbers look better than some of the other names that were tossed around.
Heās a solid big imo
Solid and plus-defender, consider me excited if thatās our new backup C.
Certainly better than anyone we had last year
Iām actually really excited at having a shot at picking in the mid 30s. Robinson-Earl, Wieskamp, Grimes, JT Thor, DayāRon Sharpe??? All would be cool as hell at 37.
So basically we move up 20 spots in the draft (from 57 to 37) and add a backup center (hopefully) taking on his salary for Detroit?
Saw Sharpe mocked in the top 25 a few times today
Nice move Kup
I like it
I hope heās our backup but even if for some reason he ends up being our starter heās a step up from what we had last year
I really donāt care enough about moving up 20 spots to no.37 to have taken on a Plumlee. Iāve met my quota, thanks.
Prou, my first reaction was that it was Miles again and I about lost it haha - took me several minutes to resettle.
Heās also an excellent passer. Heāll fit right in with Ball.
Iām sold. This evening is already off to a really positive start IMO. And I am really happy about 37 
The first time we traded for a Plumlee I initially thought it was Mason and was excited
Me too. Iām not a fan of any of them, but Mason is hands down better than the others. Still, wasnāt the guy I had in mind. So many of our problems at center have been consistent - inability to switch/play defense on the perimeter, inability to space the floor, and overall inconsistency on offenseā¦ Plumlee looked solid last year, and is solid inside, but I donāt see how he assuredly fixes any of those issues.
I know itās one move, but Iām just not a fan of using cap when none of those issues were addressed with this trade.
Plumlee is a better defender, rebounder, passer and wont drop the ball or miss a layup when LaMelo whizzes a pass inside.
If heās our starter itās pretty meh but heās better than Cody or Biz
