I would like to congratulate the Pelicans on drafting the steal of the draft in Jordan Hawkins.

Hawkins was drafted 14th and plays 17 minutes per game.
Tonight in Pelicans vs Warriors you can see another contender for steal of the 2023 Draft in Trayce Jackson Davis who was drafted 57th.
Trayce (Dale Davis’s son) Davis plays 16.5 minutes per game.
Trayce plays well in 2 out of 3 games.

Not to mention Podziemski, who was starting for GSW as a rookie for most of the season.

*Didn't know TJD was Dale's son...even cooler now.

Warriors collection of sons of NBA players may not be repeated any time sone. Sons of Dale Davis, Gary Payton Sr, Dell Curry, Mychal Thompson and Mitchel Wiggins. Positions are spread enough that both the father and sons can make a playable starting line up but the sons would be small with Wiggins forced to play power forward.

Drayce Davis is the only shot blocker amoung the 10 fathers and Sons because while Dale Davis and Mychal Thompson were good big men they were not good at jumping to block shots.

Take those 10 guys at their peaks and they would make a good team. Mitchel Wiggins would be the worst player and would getthe least minutes but Mitchel Wiggins was not a bad player and he got minutes for the rockets in the 1986 NBA finals.
