UConn and the 2024 NBA Draft

[bigknight3]

The last time UConn had 2 players drafted this high was 2004 when Emeka and Ben went 2 & 3.

Unless we go 1 and 2 isn't 2004 always going to be the last time 2 players were drafted that high?!

Adam Silver just crushed me with that Trailblazers trade announcement.

Draft pictures are sick. They have all 4 players sitting in the stands pre-draft and can edit this when selected!

Jared McCain might be the biggest cornball in NBA history.

Spencer or Newton would have been a better pick

A UConn commercial tonight. Hope all those recruits are watching.

It really was crazy how Castle came in as a high profile Freshman to an existing core that just won a national championship, how he deferred to others to lead and shine on the offensive end. He focused on doing the things that the team needed from him to succeed.

But even after deferring to others he was still the first colleague player taken in this year's draft.

(Nevermind I thought that graphic of the 3 French player was 1 thru 3. Not 1, 2 and 6. The rest still stands)

Great season from Castle!

Sucks that they gotta wait until tomorrow, NBA draft should still be all in one night

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?

4:00 on a Thursday is ridiculous WTF

Their only saving grace is Lebron stans tuning in to see if Bronny gets selected, this needs to be a 1 year experiment. You got green room invitees that didn't get drafted and now gotta wait a whole extra day to get picked.

 

[Matrim55]

Let's hope Tristen goes to the Blazers at 34. They need a backup PG, and it'd be great if he & Clingan were together.

They got that precious 4 pm primetime slot.

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.

Yeah Dunn seems like a poor man's Andre Jackson Jr. Baffling pick and they traded for him.
