NBA draft thread

[superjohn]

Let's kick things off. Feels like it's a 2 player draft, of course the Knicks have the third pick...

This is definitely a 3 player draft. Not even the Knicks can mess this up

Now he can afford a better fitting jacket.

Pacers already having a great night, having been gifted a cheap, 18 ppg scorer in TJ Warren because Phoenix is stupid. If Warren's ankle injury is not serious, I have no idea why this trade happened.

 

[superjohn]

How can you not like Zion. Just hope he can stay injury free.

They gotta take Barrett but I'm not sold on him. Zion and Ja are going to be stars. I just don't see it with Barrett, hope I'm wrong.

Rumor is deangelo Russell.

Apparently him and booker are right

Barrett with spacing will be fun.

He’s got some bully ball in him and his selfish cost them 2 tight games.

But his shot isn’t broken. His stock is clearly down from the pre season but he’s got all star potential.

Barrett was my #1 guy coming into the season. I'm very happy if that's how it ends up

I think that's a good bet too. Awful defensively though

 

[UconnFanNVa]

Never seen so many tears. Thank God the Knicks made the right pick.

There’s also a question if he’s a one year wonder or not.

I still think Russell is Boston’s best chance to land a star this summer too.

Yeah I'm all in on Russell for the Knicks this summer too. I've moved on from the Kyrie pipe dream and am fine with a slow build with Barrett and Russell and let the young guys develop

Yeah Russell is a risk but he was also worth the “mini max” that he would command now.

He’s also really young.

I worry about Barrett's relatively poor free throw and three point shooting. He's obviously got significant upside, but boy does he have to become more efficient.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Underwhelmed by Coby White. 4.1 apg is just weak for a point.

 

[Jaker]

Hopefully they spend more time talking about Dook.

 

[Tommyboy]

That seemed awfully high for Cam Johnson no? Dude can shoot though.

 

[superjohn]

Maria Taylor yea or nay?

 

[Chin Diesel]

Now that it's getting to the middle of the first round, Jalen Adams name can come up with any pick.

Just came here to say the same. Age matters when it comes to projection. I'm no NBA expert, but I'm surprised.

Good one.

 

[ToolzieFan]

I have no idea if these projections are any good.

They’ve all got something to work on. I was surprised to see that Morant led the country in turnovers, but they brushed that off as “he can fix that” during his promo piece. Not sure which problem I’d rather have.
