The NBA Draft Thread

[JustBlaze.]

Tony Bradley, Joel Berry and Theo Pinson all declared without an agent.

I think Pinson comes back and Berry and Bradley are 50/50.

I hope Hamidou Diallo stays in the draft.

Who would go first in this year's draft: Diallo or Ferguson

Ferg got much more range on his shot

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I saw that Diallo has a 6'10 wingspan. What in the...

Seems like Ferg is projected to go in the teens

Tony Bradley and Theo Pinson...........seriously? They have zero business leaving early for the draft

Pinson I'm sure is just entering for the feedback similar to Jackson last year. Bradley is a fringe first rounder in some mocks I've seen. It could go either way for him.

 NBA just released early entry list. 182 players (137 NCAA and 45 int'l) declare for the 2017 NBA Draft.

Joel Berry is going back to school

Pretty good writeup. Involves all 4 sports, but lots of NBA guys here...

Yeah the Pacers pick was tough with the PG13 situation. I think they have to move on from Monta, clearly. I do like kennard more

This dude Lavar is going to be a headache for any team/company that his kids are with. I feel bad for Lonzo who seems like a pretty quiet kid.

 

[Moheezy]

Even though he is quite, Lonzo still has that cockiness but he uses it it's full advantage on the court. Lavar on the other hand, I hope he got his 15 minutes on fame on ESPN and is ready to take a step back. His mouth may have costed him and his son millions of dollars. If has the sense and humility to admit his mistake is another story...

 

[100027]

Here's the thing;  Lavar's attitude decreases the net $$ that Lonzo can earn, but gives Lavar better odds of leeching a higher % of those earnings.   

So if Lavar's only looking out for Lavar (and esp. if he's expecting Lonzo to kick him to the curb one day) he's making the right decisions.

 

[ballinsam23]

If Lonzo turns into a bust the whole family goes to ****. If Lonzo meets expectations Lavar will cash out.

Lavar is playing a dangerous game.

 

[Moheezy]

To be honest, if sixers go 3, I wouldn't mind taking him. I think Lonzo, Simmons, and Saric will create a spurs like offense. Of course with the next GOAT McConnell leading the way

I don't like that. Who shoots?

 

[Moheezy]

Lonzo can't shoot?

Plus I have faith in Saric's work ethics and IQ that he will develop a reliable shot. Plus Embiid already a threat from the arc. Saric and Simmons will see limited minutes together leaving space to include other shooters.

 

[Moheezy]

I am just talking about the direction of the overall culture to be one that is pass first.

LaVar Ball is already costing his son money
