Chat for the draft

[Matrim55]

Man I love that my Celtics got Scheierman. He's a hell of a weapon.

 

[The Yakk]

Hope he brought 2 suits...

With the new emphasis on not rewarding flopping, a player like Filipowski loses a lot of his draft value.

And if they're going to stretch the draft to 2 days then why the heck are they doing the 2nd round at 4:00 tomorrow? Who is going to be watching at that time?

Yeah it is silly. It works out for me since I'm going to the USA vs. Panama Soccer game in Atlanta but why not just have it on Prime time or at least starting at 7 PM EST.

Really like both of Minny's picks tonight

Can’t do much better than Rob and Terrance for them. Two high level scorers to come off the bench.

So seeing how the first round played out, any thoughts on if Karaban would have been drafted in the top 30?

I could see him having been in play at 26/28/30 but he’s also pretty different than all three players taken. Not sure I’d have taken Dunn at 28, or ever.

I don't see it, still some college guys I rank ahead of AK as prospects still on the board. I know he said the Celtics liked him but I can't see them taking him over Scheimerman

Oh my the P2 is going to have to renegotiate with the NBA to make sure more of their players get picked first going forward ( re similar to the big dance). This just can’t be. (Sarcasm)

No Kolek first round, surprising

Not to me. They slept on Kolek out of Cumberland High because he just doesn't seem athletic enough. Now the same thing happens, they can't see him competing with higher level athletes. I'm done counting him out. Somebody will probably get a nice player now in round 2. He'll get a contract.

Furphy is no surprise either. Furphy just doesn't have the strength or well-developed overall game. Got terrible advice and should have returned to KU. I heard Self told him to come back. Would probably be a 1st next year.

Congrats to Deven Carter as the #13 pick. Now he can afford to buy a shirt. He had the coolest glasses though.

Was not expecting Dalton Knecht to slide like this

He's 23. They only like 18 year olds.

 

[connVA]

Hope he brought 2 suits...

Someone should ask him if he’s still “just enjoying it and having fun with it” at this point. I think he and Furphy are hanging out playing Uno and looking forward to their two-way contracts with Charlotte.

 

[FreeKlaiber]

this is bonkers lol

Very surprised Kyle Filipowski fell to round two. He had amazing video coming out of high school. He went backwards at Duke.

He measured with a negative wingspan, so he can't really play center. Defense is going to be a problem. He's too slow to pay PF.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Despite being a Dukie, I feel a little bad for Filipowski being there and not getting drafted.

 

[NotADime89]

Prefect fit for him, he's going to thrive in Boston. This draft is great for the Big East I believe we had the most picks by conference so far (or maybe are tied for most?)

That's on his agent, he should have a good sense of whether or not there's a chance of him falling. If there's even a chance don't go

 

[Dove]

Me too! Its weird when I saw the inside of Donovan's suit I teared up and there is not crying in (men's) bball

Sure there is. Remember the 1995 loss to UCA. Really bad.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Was shocked Furphy left as well. I guess international players can't get NIL but should have stayed another year at Kansas

 

[Waquoit]

Nah. He can be the next Uncle Cliffy.

 

[BigTenFan]

Nice to see Edey celebrate with his Purdue teammates. Unbelievable journey from Toronto to NBA

 

[bendm]

apparently there's a rumor going around that tyler kolek cant actually read lol and that's why he's falling

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Nah. He can be the next Uncle Cliffy.

Yeah I don’t feel that bad. He’s still going to make some nice cash playing hoops while I stare at a computer screen all day.

You're not still falling for the tweets from this fake account, are you?

Now the real fun begins.
Bronny, Newt, Cam? I really enjoyed last night more than any other draft day in recent memory but this round...
