Official 2022 NBA Draft Day Thread

[emanueldavidginobili]

Man I have no idea who the Spurs are going to take, crazy enough though last draft won't be topped, when they said Primo I screamed at the TV and said "who the fuck is Josh Primo!" lmao.

[Robz4000]

:lol same

[AFBlue]

Keegan a good pick. Wonder of the Spurs can trade up to #5 for Ivey

[CGD]

Kangs gonna Kangs…

[John B]

Damn is Wright on the phone? Ivey could be dropping

[Kurik]

To this day I still ask myself who is Josh Primo?

[Dverde]

ESPN have Kendrick Perkins there is a joke. Is that the best they could do?

[DAF86]

There goes my pipe dream at 9. :(

[jeebus]

Damn is Wright on the phone? Ivey could be dropping

Nope.

[slick'81]

To this day I still ask myself who is Josh Primo?

[Robz4000]

Ivey to Detroit. Huge pick for them.

[Robz4000]

:lol please don't reach at 9 Spurs

[Proxy]

man I'd never draft someone that looked as stupid as Chet. Big Adam Morrison/soft euro vibes imo

[vy65]

:lol please don't reach at 9 Spurs

Prepare thy anus homie

[slick'81]

Ivey/cunningham

[Kurik]

I’ve never wanted a team to steal a pick more than the Pelicans with Dieng.

[slick'81]

man I'd never draft someone that looked as stupid as Chet. Big Adam Morrison/soft euro vibes imo

were going to see plenty of him

[emanueldavidginobili]

Ivey and Cade not a bad two players to start off with when building a team.

[GAustex]

man I'd never draft someone that looked as stupid as Chet. Big Adam Morrison/soft euro vibes imo
He is gonna get broke in half

[Degoat]

Mathurin to the pacers

[Dverde]

Ivey gonna be good. Great pick for Detroit

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1540131143504105479

[RC_Drunkford]

just gotta hope Sharpe and Dieng go before 9th tbh

[emanueldavidginobili]

This 7th pick is big.

[slick'81]

Mathurin was ours dammit:depressed

[Kurik]

I’d rather have Sharpe over Dieng, that’s for sure.

[Ariel]

Picks 6, 7 & 8 mean much more to us than 1-5... fingers crossed!

[Chinook]

That moment when you realize you've gotten so old that you check out the players' mothers more than their sisters or girlfriends. :depressed

[John B]

Ivey and Cunningham? OMG!

[emanueldavidginobili]

5 picks in and Jay Bilas doesn't have Sochan in his top ten best available.

[vy65]

Does Mathurin have two moms?

[DAF86]

Let's hope someone takes Dieng in the next couple of picks.

[Kurik]

That moment when you realize you've gotten so old that you check out the players' mothers more than their sisters or girlfriends. :depressed

Porque no los dos?

[benefactor]

:cry muh women :cry

Can we just watch the draft now?

[John B]

That moment when you realize you've gotten so old that you check out the players' mothers more than their sisters or girlfriends. :depressed

You actually watched their moms play in the WNBA

[slick'81]

Fck the blazers tbh

[Robz4000]

You actually watched their moms play in the WNBA

:lol watching the WNBA

[Degoat]

Guys were 2 picks away!!!

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1540133222591471617

[slick'81]

So who is it that we actually want@9 again?

[RC_Drunkford]

:lol comparing Mathurin to OG Anounoby

[Degoat]

Spurs please, Johnny Davis or Jalen Duren (fingers crossed)

[weebo]

might as well get it out of the way

:lol spurs

[Chinook]

You actually watched their moms play in the WNBA

Shit probably. I was a big Comets fan back in the day.

[Seventyniner]

Nice, Sharpe off the board.

[BatManu20]

Uh oh. Dieng lookin excited at his table…

[DAF86]

Fuck, there goes my numer 2.

[Chinook]

This has been pretty damned good from my standpoint. There are a few guys I'd want at 9 ... in fact there are enough to where I wouldn't mind the team trading down a bit.

[spurraider21]

timvp's mock is spot on so far, just swapping banchero and smith

[vy65]

:lolusmane

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1540134289697906690

[Degoat]

God please don’t let the spurs give me a heart attack lmao

[Degoat]

God please don’t let the spurs give me a heart attack lmao

[BatManu20]

Dieng smiling and looking happy at his table. Fuck. It’s over boys. He must’ve gotten the call from PATFO.

[Robz4000]

Fuck, please don't draft Dieng.

[slick'81]

Please god no dieng

[mudyez]

eff...really wanted Dyson Daniels

[John B]

So far no trades for Portland 7th pick

[vy65]

Gucci Ousmane

[AFBlue]

Dieng still on the board scares me

[slick'81]

Even timvp said hell no to dieng

[Seventyniner]

aaaaaand cue the commercial break on the Spurs pick. Like clockwork.

[Barfunk]

The moment of truth

[John B]

Dieng smiling and looking happy at his table. Fuck. It’s over boys. He must’ve gotten the call from PATFO.

I believe.. I believe :lol

[John B]

Dieng smiling and looking happy at his table. Fuck. It’s over boys. He must’ve gotten the call from PATFO.

I believe.. I believe :lol

[slick'81]

Fck it,cant be worse or more of a surprise then primo

[spurraider21]

:lmao fuck they actually did it

[Robz4000]

Fck it,cant be worse or more of a surprise then primo

:lol drafting a poor man's Luka Samanic at 9 would be way worse

[Robz4000]

Fck it,cant be worse or more of a surprise then primo

:lol drafting a poor man's Luka Samanic at 9 would be way worse

[DPG21920]

Johnny and Sochan were my top 2 and they are both there. I would be ok with Duren but not love it (especially if they trade Jakob).

Just not DIENG

[Russ]

Malaki Branham would be a stretch, but might have the best upside.

Probably Sochan. If so, not bad. Even Duren might be okay.

[DPG21920]

Trade back with NY and still get Johnny or Duren or Sochan

[Russ]

Malaki Branham would be a stretch, but might have the best upside.

Probably Sochan. If so, not bad. Even Duren might be okay.

[jeebus]

Sochan thank GOD

[Shohoku High]

Welcome Sochan!!!

[vy65]

Wanted Davis, but at least they didn't completely fuck this up

[Robz4000]

Sochan :toast

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1540136505393516547!!!!

[slick'81]

Is this really another disappointment though?

[spurraider21]

sochan :tu

[MannyIsGod]

Let's fucking go

[slick'81]

Fck yea our pf is here!!!!! Kj you are free

[Degoat]

Jeremy Sochan! I’ll take it, getting some size and defense

[Trill Clinton]

yeesssssss

[slick'81]

Chet! sochan is coming for you

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lets go!

[DAF86]

There's our starting PF folks.

[John B]

Sochan is my 2nd choice... That's okay.

[DPG21920]

Thank god man I am so happy :cry

[3&D_TBH]

FUCKING SOCHAN! We finally have our PF!

[slick'81]

I love this kid and this pick for sa

[mexicanjunior]

4-chan is a spare...meh...

[objective]

Would rather have Duren, but at least he's not a 6-4 combo or Dieng

Bring on Jalen Williams and Procida!

[Robz4000]

Been wanting Sochan at 9 for months now tbh. Glad it came to be.

[DPG21920]

This is a double win tbh…Dieng was there and I was legit worried. FO still in the good graces and my confidence has been growing in them since the trade deadline to now.

They know what they are doing…Wright solid as hell lately.

[talkspurs]

and just like every year. ABC goes to commercial right after spurs pick. next one after 20 and then 25.

[emanueldavidginobili]

I am excited as hell for this pick. Desperately lacked a player like him last year. He's tough as nails and can match up with virtually any position.

[RC_Drunkford]

good pick tbh. Now let's hope Eason and Jalen Williams keep falling or we trade up

[Larry O]

Suchan has Spurs written all over him! Whew! That was my pick! Hallelujah!!!

[baseline bum]

OK someone tell me why I should be excited about a big who put up 9 and 6 in the NCAA.

[John B]

There goes Keldon at PF... Thank you

[Robz4000]

OK someone tell me why I should be excited about a big who put up 9 and 6 in the NCAA.

Easily the best defender in the draft and also plays PF. Also could've put up more at Baylor but sacrificed for the better of the team by coming off the bench.

[Mr. Body]

Sochan's been the pick for like twenty years, it's felt like. All that drama though.

[BillMc]

That's the pick I wanted.

[Robz4000]

:lol Knicks took Dieng

[KobesAchilles]

Phew! Attaboy Wright! Never doubted you for a second. We finally have a tough as nails defender on the inside. Dude is a banger and not afraid to get into people. Next is to get him to learn a 15 foot baseline jumper

[Biggems]

I am ok with Sochan. He is a very good defensive player and I absolutely love defense.

[Mugen]

I'm happy because you would think taking Sochan would prevent them from bringing Fathead back :lol

[lebomb]

Ehhhh……it’s Ok. Nothing to get all worked up about.

[RC_Drunkford]

Knicks :lmao

you can just always rely on the Knicks and Kings to do something stupid

[lebomb]

Ehhhh……it’s Ok. Nothing to get all worked up about.

[Robz4000]

:lmao Thunder traded up with the Knicks for Dieng

[jhfenton]

:lol Knicks took Dieng

Apparently traded to OKC!

[tonight...you]

Happy

[DAF86]

OK someone tell me why I should be excited about a big who put up 9 and 6 in the NCAA.

Elite defender. Can defend all 5 positions. Very good ball handler, finisher and passer too. He pretty much does everything well except shooting. Let's hope Chip earns is check.

[heyheymymy]

Sochan was my #1 preference

Get a hunch Sochan is going to be a great fit with San Antonio. I'm thrilled with this pick at #9.

[RC_Drunkford]

Dieng to OKC

[Degoat]

Okc got Jalen Williams, shoot they’re doing well lol

[rankingtear]

Dieng is the most OKC prospect. NY sniffed it.

[timtonymanu]

4-chan is a spare...meh...

Of course this beaner hates the pick

[vy65]

So with 20 coming up, who's left?

Duren
Eason
Branham
Beauchamp
Tyty (lol, tyty)
Dalen Terry
Hardy

[heyheymymy]

Man fuck okc they stole Jalen Williams

[RC_Drunkford]

should the Spurs trade for one of the Hornets picks?

[emanueldavidginobili]

OKC yikes man, they have some potential. SGA, Giddey, Chet, Dieng, Williams, Dort is decent as well. Presti is a mad scientist.

[John B]

Damn there goes Jaylen Williams

[DPG21920]

The smoke of Dieng rising was very real. I cannot believe that he not only went 11 but netted NY multiple firsts wow

[widowmaker]

Oh well jaylen gone and im sure tari is next to the hornets

[heyheymymy]

I could see Mark Williams falling to 20 and spurs taking him

That was in a CBS mock actually

[John B]

Is Wright on the phone... no trades on Duren? Damn really

[widowmaker]

Whats up jovic or christi at 20?

[Russ]

If Chip can teach Sochan to shoot, it'll look a lot better.

Not bad at all given the options (avoided some bullets).

[GAustex]

ST server bout to spontaneous combust

[Robz4000]

Duren to Charlotte

[John B]

Well there goes Duren... really. I'm hoping Williams go down to 20. Does Wright know it's Draft Night tonight?

[DAF86]

Eason or AJ Griffin for 20.

[heyheymymy]

Duren is going to feast in CHA

MJ got his guy

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1540144631664545795

[slick'81]

Damn detroit with cade/ivey/duren

[DAF86]

Damn, Duren sounds sloooow.

[Degoat]

Would love to be able to grab Mark Williams

[RC_Drunkford]

Hoping Eason falls to 20

[Robz4000]

How did Duren go from Charlotte to the Knicks to the Pistons tbh?

[John B]

Well there goes Duren... really. I'm hoping Williams go down to 20. Does Wright know it's Draft Night tonight?

[Russ]

If Chip can teach Sochan to shoot, it'll look a lot better.

Not bad at all given the options (avoided some bullets).

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1540145772741672960

[Cardinal]

Nice move by Charlotte. They get their big and swing Duren for value.

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1540146984861974535

[RC_Drunkford]

Pistons playing 4D chess. But why did they aquire Kemba Walker???

[John B]

Really is Wright even up? How did Detroit get Duren?

[heyheymymy]

Wow Duren routed to DET

CHA wanted Mark Williams all along then

[heyheymymy]

Wow Duren routed to DET

CHA wanted Mark Williams all along then

[John B]

Troy Weaver shitting on Brian Wright.. Ivey and Duren?? Oh man.

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1540147909311823873

[Robz4000]

Do the Spurs actually draft four guys?

[BatManu20]

Houston selecting Eason.

[DPG21920]

I cannot believe how CHEAP it was to get 13. SA should have done that deal man. They could have used their cap space and DET gave up a pick that was likely pick 18-28 for pick 13

[talkspurs]

tari eason going to Houston at 17.

[lefty20]

Eason gone.

[RC_Drunkford]

Nice move by Charlotte. They get their big and swing Duren for value.

I don't see how moving Jalen Duren for a first rounder in the low 20s is a nice move tbh. They would've been better off keeping him and drafting some else at 15 if you ask me

[vy65]

Branham
Beauchamp
Hardy
TieTie

Who else?

[Mr. Body]

Facinating that CHA valued Williams over Duren. Duren was super-cheap for Detroit.

[John B]

Hawks just got Griffin. That Murray to Hawks is dead

[Ice009]

Man, couldn't the Spurs have made a play for Duren :(. Eason gone to the Rockets. Darn.

[RC_Drunkford]

all the good prospects being snatched right in front of us in the low teens. Spurs should've traded up tbh

[Robz4000]

I'd prolly roll with TyTy at 20 if he's still there.

[DPG21920]

back half of draft not breaking SA way imo..they dont seem to care obviously because cost to move up not showing to be a big deal. They seem content which is kind of disappointing honestly.

[rascal]

Spurs again sitting on their hands on draft night watching other teams make trades.

[Mr. Body]

There are some interesting players tumbling around the 20.

[tonight...you]

Still really good prospects up and ready for the taking.

[BatManu20]

Detroit getting Duren for that cheap tells me the Spurs were not at all interested. Bummer.

[DAF86]

Welp, there goes my last wish for 20. Who else is left worth a shit?

[BatManu20]

Spurs are gonna take TyTy Washington aren’t they.

[Chinook]

Charlotte is the cow here, not New York. The Knicks were probably prepared to move 11 for relief and got extra firsts by moving around. Charlotte basically gave away a lotto pick for nothing.

[talkspurs]

Pistons playing 4D chess. But why did they aquire Kemba Walker???

it make them give up less picks or other value. instead of pick/player they are giving up some cap space.

[Degoat]

Man Branham would be an absolute steal at 20

[spurraider21]

really surprised they're just gonna sit there and make 3 picks. worst of all one of them is probably going to be a stash. we had the tools to move up and grab one of these guys

[widowmaker]

Spurs should take another Forward with size before they settle and take a guard.

[heyheymymy]

Sounds like MJ lost a golf game or something

[slick'81]

Hawks just got Griffin. That Murray to Hawks is dead

:lol

[Kurik]

Hoping for Branham as well.

[Ariel]

Branham & Blake Wesley... last 2 prospects I really like.

[slick'81]

Spurs scraping the barrel at 20. Lets see wht they go with

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1540151705634996224

[spurraider21]

malaki on the board for us. he has to be the pick here, right?

[Mr. Body]

Damn, I liked Dalen Terry. I also don't think he fit and am not sure he's actually going to be good, lol.

[BatManu20]

Spurs are gonna take TyTy Washington aren’t they.

[Robz4000]

Don't think Branham makes it past Minny but if he does I'd take him tbh. If TyTy then somehow falls to 25 that'd be a great draft.

[Ariel]

If Minnesota takes LaRavia for Memphis, they're jumping us... LaRavia was our pick

[RC_Drunkford]

Memphis trading for 19 and picking LaRavia

[mo7888]

Branham, Liddell, Procida, jovic, and Wesley available to is at 20....not bad...I assume we're picking Minott right?

[widowmaker]

Ok Spurs can grab liddel or bercham

[BatManu20]

Take Malaki Branham and don’t think twice about it. One of my pet cats. Do it Brian. Don’t take TyTy over him.

[Dejounte]

Memphis leapt frogged SA and DEN to draft LaRavia. Was SA going to pick LaRavia?

[Robz4000]

:lol Grizz trading up for their new Fathead

[heyheymymy]

Malachi Branham
Blake Wesley
TyTy Washington
Dahlen Terry
E.J. Liddell

[Chinook]

really surprised they're just gonna sit there and make 3 picks. worst of all one of them is probably going to be a stash. we had the tools to move up and grab one of these guys

Why? People wanted them to trade up for Sochan. Now they don't have to. So they get to stash a guy instead. Isn't that better? Same player but with an extra flier.

Beauchamp would be interesting

[heyheymymy]

Malachi Branham
Blake Wesley
TyTy Washington
Dahlen Terry
E.J. Liddell

[Russ]

Man Branham would be an absolute steal at 20

From your lips . . .

[Seventyniner]

Branham it is!

[spurraider21]

we got malaki!!

[mo7888]

I like the Branham pick...goodbye LW..

[Robz4000]

Brahman :tu

[vy65]

Got that old testament jewish shit with this one

[DAF86]

Meh. Not feeling Brahnam.

[BatManu20]

Take Malaki Branham and don’t think twice about it. One of my pet cats. Do it Brian. Don’t take TyTy over him.

[Robz4000]

That marks the end of Lonnie's time with SA unfortunately.

[slick'81]

Aours gonna get that guard here for sure

[ginobilized]

relieved again, Sochan and Branham feel like best available players.
What will happen with 25?!?!

[Mr. Body]

Wow, Brahnam really wasn't on my radar at all. A poor defender but that could be fixable. He was very productive as a shooter though.

[SpurPadre]

YES!!! That's my dude!

[Kurik]

Is Brian Big Wong now the GOAT?

[slick'81]

The new lonnie walker is here

[DAF86]

Malakai was dressed for the ocassion.

[Kurik]

Branham’s suit is actually pretty nice.

[Ariel]

YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MALAKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT PICKUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slick'81]

Enjoy san antonio grandma

[Kurik]

Branham’s suit is actually pretty nice.

[heyheymymy]

Filled the hole at PF and replaced Walker

A+

[heyheymymy]

Filled the hole at PF and replaced Walker

A+

[DAF86]

Jovic at 25 pretty please.

[spurraider21]

Why? People wanted them to trade up for Sochan. Now they don't have to. So they get to stash a guy instead. Isn't that better? Same player but with an extra flier.

Beauchamp would be interesting
i dno about moving up for sochan. i would have been content and just taken duren if sochen was gone. but i certainly would have been tempted to trade and grab duren. OKC got aggressive and went after their guy Dieng. based on that price i think we had the ammo to move up when Duren went past 11/12.

but im pleasantly surprised malaki fell to2 0

[John B]

There goes Lonnie :lol

[heyheymymy]

Branham 42% 3PT

[DPG21920]

Branham falling makes it seem better that SA didn’t trade up. Still wish they would have, but this is pretty damn good for 9/20. Let’s see if we can snag Wesley too or Hardy.

[ginobilized]

Does Christie fall to 25 or is this a draft and stash move.

I'm super happy with Sochan and Branham.

[Kurik]

Wow, Brahnam really wasn't on my radar at all. A poor defender but that could be fixable. He was very productive as a shooter though.

He should be able to shoot better than Lonnie at least.

[DPG21920]

Chinook timvp - What am I missing on that NY/DET/ChA trade? Why did NY get in there just to give up Kemba and nothing else? Why didnt’ CHA and DET just deal direct?

[Mr. Body]

My dream of Jovic and Jokic together is dashed.

[heyheymymy]

Would love to see fall to 25

Blake Wesley
TyTy Washington
E.J. Liddell

[Russ]

Might go with Beauchamp. High upside.

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

Malaki Silver and Black!

[Robz4000]

TyTy still dropping...

[John B]

Need a Center at 25... Kessler??

[heyheymymy]

Grizz just snagged Laravia from minny

[RC_Drunkford]

Loving the Branham pick, one of the biggest sleepers in the draft. Goodbye Lonnie!

Also why did OKC trade 3 future 1sts for Dieng?

[Kurik]

Go BPA or Procida at 25, center with 38.

[Degoat]

So many good players still available!!!

[Mr. Body]

I think Tyty Washington.

[boutons_deux]

Branham’s suit is actually pretty nice.

Silver and black

[MannyIsGod]

Chinook timvp - What am I missing on that NY/DET/ChA trade? Why did NY get in there just to give up Kemba and nothing else? Why didnt’ CHA and DET just deal direct?


They're creating cap space.

[DAF86]

Branham 42% 3PT

On like 2 attempts per game. Not really a shooter. I'm really not high on this guys as most seem to be.

[Joseph Kony]

Roddy going at 23 in a trade to Memphis for Melton

[spurraider21]

is this gonna be the Procida promise?

[SpurPadre]

Wow, Brahnam really wasn't on my radar at all. A poor defender but that could be fixable. He was very productive as a shooter though. NBA Draftnet has him at an 8 out of 9 on defense, saying he's better than the numbers show on D.

[Robz4000]

Grizz trading Melton for the 23rd pick.

[Russ]

Procida or Beauchamp -- either one.

[Robz4000]

:lol what a reach by Memphis for Roddy
