The NBA Draft Thread

[Vincent Van Goat]

This is way early but I'm surprised there's no mention of zion Williamson in this forum. His mixtapes are easily the most impressive high school joints I've seen.

Zion has been discussed in multiple threads

Hopefully he pans out

Zion's been discussed more than enough in the NBA Draft Thread for a high school sophomore that won't be draft eligible for like 3 more years

Looking back at some recruiting classes, cant believe Avery Bradley was the #1 ranked high school player in the country over Wall and even Cousins.

All those dudes skipping the combine is no surprise.

 

[fishflesh]

who's up?

 

[JustBlaze.]

Donovan Mitchell signing with agent and staying in.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Just realized that this could be the first time in NBA history that this many freshmen could be taken consecutively in the lottery

It seems like at least first 10 selections will be freshmen, if not more

Also would like to see OKC end up with any of Dozier, Kennard or Justin Jackson

There is a solid chance that every lotto pick could be a freshman or international player. Pretty crazy. Depends on what these teams think of OG, Justin Jackson and John Collins.

Where y'all think Hamidou Diallo ends up?

 

[addict4sneakers]

No idea. I don't know what he does aside from be a great athlete.

I read some love him, some think he needs to go back to school

 

[Moheezy]

Apparently the Knicks are eying Monk, Fox, and Frank in the draft.

Hopefully he gets a promise from some team in the first round. If not he's going back to Kentucky.
Imo he's worth taking the risk if youre drafting after #10 easily.

please god dont draft Fox and make him play in that dumb triangle.

Interesting article on what NBA execs think of the prospects who are in the combine and haven't signed agents yet...

i want fox

frank is gonna end up being more of a sg than a pg i think

 

[frshstunna]

Wish Fox well in the league, hope he uses his speed and athleticism to the max...Hope he aint on the Magic's board tho, cant do the non shooting pg after Elfrid Payton

 

[bballkid11]

DJ and MO should go back to school.

I think they can really improve their stock.

Exsp if they are 2nd rounders.

That will hurt his career no doubt. Especially since they have a ball hog with Melo. I like Fox, I like his speed, style, defence and all but I don't like him for the Knicks nor do I like him for Orlando.

His best fit should be Sacramento or Dallas.
Orlando should be looking at Tatum or Monk (although I now see Monk's ceiling as a sixth man unless he improves other aspects of his game)
If Philly cracks top 3, they should go for Ball without second guessing. If Philly lands #4, I am now weary of picking Monk that high and think we can trade down for him or even trade down for Ntilikina. Even though I see Ntilikina in the same light as Exum than Porzingis, I find him to be a very good fit for Philly. Maybe worth taking the risk if we trade down for him.

I used to be pretty hyped for this draft but now that we are not caught in the moment anymore, all prospects outside of the top 3 have more questions than answers. I could even argue anyone not named Fultz.

Tuesday needs to hurry up.

Knicks and Lakers are getting the top 2 picks guaranteed
