3.Dragan Bender 7'1" 225 lbs ,F,Croatia

The top international prospect in this year's draft has drawn comparisons to New York Knicks rising star Kristaps Porzingis. Bender is new age big man that will come in and immediately be able to help his team space the floor and change shots at the rim on the defensive end.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
