The NBA Draft Thread

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Well he's not gunna get traded so who cares about what some Laker fans think.

Unless you'd like to do a leemealone/whip wager

He wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit salad. All bark no bite. Chihuahua style with the nuts to match

 

[addict4sneakers]

Zo is going to be an All Star

wouldn't be surprised if he gets in by the fan vote rookie yr 

More fan votes than Curry, Harden, Westbrook?

Lavar doesn't have that much juice

wouldn't be surprised if he gets in by the fan vote rookie yr 

2nd year like Bean. Zobe

i can see it happening with all that hype

all star game is in LA too 

 

[addict4sneakers]

Dame is a perennial 25 ppg scorer and he can't get in the all star game.

But Lonzo ball will be by year 2.

This why y'all can't have nice things anymore

+ Conley, McCollum, Towns, etc.

Somebody gon give Lonzo them hands next season

Zaza had 1.5m votes. That was more than Kawhi, AD, draymond and he didn't make it.

Joel didn't make it either and he was like 3rd in voting in the East

Y'all underestimate the Lakers hype machine. I'm being a little tongue and cheek but really if Zo is the real deal, the elevation is going to be real.

Is that what you're hoping for out of the #2 pick though? That he'll be an effective, rotational level player?

I mean relative to the draft those are indeed realistic expectations, but if i'm drafting at the #2 I would hope that he's more than just a rotation level player.

We all agree that fultz is the one for sure commodity

Everyone else is fighting uphill to become an all star at best. I don't see how a floor of a rotational player is that condemning even if you're the #2 pick

Again, outside of fultz not many of us think there's franchise player material. I could see ball being an all star, I was just speaking on his floor

 

[ballinsam23]

Lakers fans are so spoiled with having great players in the past that if you're not an all star by your 2nd year you can find your way out.

Seriously though, three years in a row of #2 picks. If none of these guys end up being an all star

 

[MVP]

Or maybe if 2 years after drafting you to be the franchise PG, and 2 years later the 2 top prospects said team is looking at are also PGs your security on the team may not be secure.

Didn't you call D'Lo a future All Star two years ago? guess you get 2 years to prove yourself and it's time to move on

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Idiotic

Hell no. Not surprised you would make that assumption since you weren't following the NBA as the process was nothing more than a disaster at that point.

Any predictions for All-Star players and busts? 3 players each.

AS: KAT, JAH, DLO

ohh...

 

[MVP]

I also called him a bust. Where is that post from?

 

[junglejim]

ohh...

Once DLO "snitched"he has been dead to mamba.

This is true I gave him a chance after initially calling him a bust during summer league. But in fairness he's done nothing to warrant me wanting to keep him long term.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Damn

I still think he's going to be good... Point guards take a long time to develop.  He's had his moments.
