OT: 2018 NBA Draft



It's unprotected?!?!?! Potentially when the high schools are allowed back in so the draft is one-time double deep? What are you doing Phoenix.

Absolute fleecing by Philly.
 
Celts need to find a way to move up for Robert Williams here.

this is how you get some future help at the 5. You get a Capela type near the spot where Capela went.
 
Celts are tantalizingly close to Robert Williams...I'm prepared for disappointment.

Hey, I'm as eager to kill the Knicks as anyone else, and I'm not sold on Knox, but that pick was fine.

Yep me too, have more of a problem with the Bulls tanking the whole season to get Wendell Carter Jr.

Kevin O'Connor thinks Carter is the second coming, FWIW.

Danny passed on DeAndre Jordan.

He'll pass on this kid.

The Bulls had easily the least talent in the NBA and still finished outside the top 5.

They didn't tank.

the 96-97 Spurs tanked.

the 07/08 heat tanked

like the last 5 years before this year of philly tanked.

Those guys actually tried.

Just pulled up his twitter and he thinks Carter is the best passer in the draft. Stopped reading.

I watch their games, they tanked. They wanted some of the young guys to learn how to win games and competed like a college team for a segment of the season. After Dunn landed on his face and got a concussion they went into full tank mode. I'm going to guess you didn't watch them if you think they easily had the least talent in the NBA.

Dude, they had 2 guys on the entire roster who were positives in BPM.

One is Portis, a nice reasonable talent (who they shoudlv'e traded before taking Carter...but I digress)...


...and the guy Portis punched in the face....and happens to not be on the roster anymore.

It's an abysmal roster.

going into tonight i was happy with Melton or Evans....


....Williams is just the dream.

This is like 2008 when Deandre dropped like a rock. I got so excited...and just let down.

I love when bad franchises reach mediocre levels and let good talent drop.

Geezus, trading Mirotic was a part of the tank. Again, I watched most of their games and went to several of their games. Markkannen, Dunn, and LaVine are going to be a problem in this league. They were warned several times by the league to stop tanking.

Truly hilarious.

I wanted Celtics to use some excess assets, move up, and take a big because this draft was so deep with bigs. Getting a 7'5" wingspan freak athlete rim protector at 27 is just absurd.

We'll see if the work ethic/off court/knee stuff is real or overblown. I trust Brad Stevens.

They got a first for a guy who plays the same position as their best player. And a guy who couldn't stay on the roster after being punched in the face.

That's just good business.

Neither Lavine or Dunn are part of the answer to anything.

Don't really care about the opinions of someone who didn't even watch the team. You responded to me saying they didn't tank when they clearly did. No sense in continuing this.

Was. I like that Lauri-Carter front court.

It was a real no-brainer. Top-10 talent at 27. With no medial issues.

They likely didn't give any thought to the possibility of taking him until pick 20 or so.

Props to them for doing the smart thing and taking the talent over guys they'd scouted more heavily.
