Chat for the draft

KJ seems like a great kid. Charlotte has good young dudes.

 

[awy]

oso will be good

James is threatening to play in Australia if anyone other than the Lakers pick him. Get the surfboard out.

I wonder why Dan Hurley turned that job down. It seems so above board over there. Real team feel.

 

[aceboon]

was hoping Miami would take Newton

 

[TheHorde]

I wonder how much this was due to the debate tonight? Which I am assuming was scheduled after the NBA had set the dates for the draft. Maybe without that conflict it starts at the same time as yesterday.

Could be. I just don’t see why they would fix something that wasn’t broken. The NFL draft is 7 rounds so you could have lots of story lines to develop over the final 6 rounds. Doing a stand-alone night for the second round is overkill imo.

To be honest I thought KJ Simpson was the best talent left going into today.

 

[Blue Huskie]

Never heard of some of these guys.

 

[auror]

Halfway through the 2nd round, no UConn guys yet.

Was Hurley BSing about our guys going in 30’s to get team take the bait? C’mon Pacers, you need a guy like Cam

Newton to Pacers at 49.

 

[Matrim55]

Reeves going to the Pels makes me think they're planning to package Hawk in a trade.

 

[Jaydumo20]

Newton to Pacers at 49.

I love this

 

[Matrim55]

Newton to Pacers at 49.

Gah. There are already 3 other PGs on that team.

Was really hoping he'd end up in Denver (or, if he had to go somewhere with a PG logjam, to my Celtics).

 

[Dibbie]

Happy for TNew now let’s get Psycho Cam picked

 

[Matrim55]

Cam to the Grizz at 53. They could use a heat check shooter -- he's got a chance to stick.

 

[Scoe]

Hell yeah really couldn’t have asked for a better outcome for our 4 guys in this draft.

 

[AzHusky]

This ESPN coverage stinks. A lot of picks are done during the ads.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Another 15 years of this with espn. Ugh

 

[Jaydumo20]

ESPN broadcast whatever. This should be the most memorable draft of our lives as Husky fans so far. I haven't cared this much about the NBA since the Dee Brown no look dunk.

Jokic was famously drafted during a Taco Bell commercial, so it bodes well.

 

[UCfor3]

Justin Edwards may not be drafted. Remember us recruiting him. Wish he stayed in school and made a better decision for himself. Wish him the best of luck. The year with Cal and Kentucky work out for him the way he wanted I'm guessing.

 

[tjhusky]

ESPN “I can’t overstate how monumental it is for Lebron to have a chance to play with his son”.
I disagree, that is all they have talked about for the last month.

I view it as nepo-draft. Lebron is still a great player. LA needed to do it to keep dad, but Bronny is not a top 60 player this year.

I hope he stays healthy and improves. I’m glad all our guys got drafted. And glad Danny is back and doesn’t have to deal with that drama there.

If you told me the Knicks took Kolek and McCullar at 24 and 25 I would have been happy. Getting them at 34 and 56 is great
