2023 NBA Draft Thread

[superjohn]

Explain this one to me. Is someone in the Orlando front office friends with his dad?

I thought the same thing, what???

 

[HuskyHawk]

Ok @auror you can laugh. I think #39 is Adama.

 

[caw]

I just don't see that as a good pick for the Celts.

One game does not an average make...

He was doing it for like a week or 2 straight.

 

[Demo Square]

If you think he was a top 15 pick next year, I have a trip to see the titanic for $250k to sell you

AJAX cannot shoot, did NOT improve his shot while at UConn, & apparently, doesn't even WANT to shoot. I don't care whatelse he can do or what a great kid he is. The pro's are not going to throw millions & playing time at a kid who cannot shoot at all. Get it!?!

What happened?

 

[uconnlax89]

I will say, hearing "University of Connecticut" during the NBA draft again feels like we're fully back now.

 

[auror]

If Celtics don't go Jackson, I think they go Colby Jones.

Well I was right but it sucks.

Oh man the dream is alive at #38.

 

[3rdbass]

Colby Jones goes before Andre.

 

[G0UCONN]

Andre Jackson's youth coaches should be thrown in jail for letting him shoot like that. Cost him millions....

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

What happened?

I was asking about Jett Howard and it got merged with this thread. I don’t see how that kid is possibly a lottery pick, beyond the fact that his dad is well known in NBA circles.

Michigan had 2 first rounders and sucked. Doesn't speak well for Jett's dad and his coaching.

I agree, doesn’t really impress me at all, especially at 11.

Andre goes to the Magic!

 

[caw]

Orlando. Not sure how I feel about that, it's a team that needs shooting.

scratch that, traded? to Bucks.

Woj just said teams flagged him for health concerns?

 

[3rdbass]

Nice AJ going to Orlando. Up an coming team. Good for him. OK he got red flagged by past injuries. No wonder why he fell a little.

While I agree with that, the UConn coaches had him for 3 years and didn't do any better.

 

[aceboon]

Alot of guards/wings to compete with for playing time in Orl

Nevermind, didn't realize it was the Bucks pick, they're severly lacking in athleticism and youth on the wing, thats a good spot for AJ

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Andre playing alongside Giannis! Love it!!!

 

[Deleted at users request]

Apparently Andre had medical issues which caused him to go this late according to Woj.

 

[AzHusky]

Just heard that the Magic drafted AJ for Milwaukee

 

[Blue Huskie]

Andre playing alongside Giannis! Love it!!!

And Adrian Griffin is the new coach. Aubrey Griffin's dad and fomer Seton Hall star.

 

[90BSEE]

Just heard that the Magic drafted AJ for Milwaukee

Hopefully he will eventually see the floor for them.

Andre went from the outhouse to penthouse with that trade. Good for him. He can still win a championship two years in a row.

Really

Yeah hopefully Milwaukee can keep Middletown. They will need shooters with him Giannis on the team.

 

[AzHusky]

Woj was talking about the red flags that some teams had on AJ and he said that AJ would fit right in with Milwaukee.

 

[Marat]

So now hope Sanogo gets picked soon.

Orlando has a really good young front court. Their backcourt however...which makes the Howard pick even odder.

 

[Tomahawk]

I think Giannis teaching Andre is gonna do wonders for him.
