Cool for the Thompson twins

Looks like Pacers sniped Coulibaly and so Washington swapped with them.

Washington is so bad at this.

Can someone explain why I’d want to draft Black besides his measurables?

 

[GampelGladiator]

Huskies are back!!!

You saw in the game against us, he kept fighting even when we were killing them. I like his attitude. And yeah, measurements are good. Vision is decent. Defense is really good.

The Whitmore slide is on. We'll see if the Mavs take him at 10 or they stick with Lively. I think for Hawkins we want them to take Lively, because some people have mocked him to NOP at 14.

Question I have is, will he ever be more than Kyle Anderson?

 

[Tomahawk]

Tremont Waters is on the same team as Wembanyama and Coulibaly were in France. Life is weird lol

I think he's a better athlete than Kyle. We'll see about his jump shot.

No love from Bilas for Jordan on his "Best 10 Left" as the picks progress

 

[nelsonmuntz]

JJ Reddick sucks. He is petulant, narcissistic and boring.

 

[mauconnfan]

Some really mature and nice young kids thus far very impressed.

Cason Wallace to OKC makes no sense. Can’t believe they traded up to get him.

Wow Orlando going Jett Howard over Hawk or Dick is wild.

 

[aceboon]

Woj is still bad at TV after all these years, I remember when Fox Sports quickly moved off of him as a TV personality because he wasn't any good at it.

 

[Hunt for 7]

As I watch this draft and some of the highlights of the players. All I can think is I have not seen a better passer than Andre and no one with a better looking jump shot than Jordan. We were really good this year!

 

[alphasigko]

Hard to believe that Bilas has Kris Murray of Iowa ahead of Jordan. Murray has a decent game but nowhere near as clutch and smooth as Jordan.

ESPN has a list of "Best Available" that doesn't match the Bilas list. The site has Hawkins #6 with 10 picks in.

Orlando doesn’t know what the hell they are doing.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

looking like no lottery pick for us this year...just hope it means a better fit for Hawk

 

[Tomahawk]

I'm a Hawks fan, so I hope they take Hawkins, and Atlanta can have 2 UConn boys lol

 

[auror]

Vecenie on his live show saying that Whitmore's medicals may have flagged for some teams. Yellow flags not red flags, but there's something.

Did Jordan buy part of Orlando after selling Charlotte?

 

[REB1094]

Picks are starting to get a little wonky so I think we've entered the part of the draft where anything can happen lol

 

[Deleted at users request]

Wouldn’t mind Miami for Hawkins. He’d be a great replacement for Duncan if they decide to move him.

Would love to see him a part of Heat culture.

And if he's talking about it, it's a legit concern for teams

Derek Lively II? Horrible pick that early.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Derek Lively II? Horrible pick that early.

They need a rim protector. Plus, he seems like an absolutely tremendous kid.

Very cool to see them talking about the ways guys have been using their NIL money for good purposes on the broadcast. A lot better than the trauma that happens in years past.
