Official 2018 NBA Draft Thread

[phxspurfan]

Yes but on the other side, I'm happy for him.. And I was mostly thinking about the fantasy implications for my team

Whether Doncic is as billed or not is not really a question, there's just too much tape...

so is he Ben Simmons (skinny, court vision, no jumper), Lamar Odom (slower but more powerful), Young Boris Diaw (post moves, handles), or Magic Johnson (flashy and ridiculous court vision)?

[BillMc]

Bamba seems to be a nice kid...I like him.

[baseline bum]

So we're drafting Jrue Holiday's 6'1" brother right?

Wakanda

Sad how some rookies refuse to be drafted by Memphis or Cleveland. I hope it’s not because they’re small market teams. The draft was built precisely to level the talent distribution in the league. Small market teams are cornered into trading their picks.

[benefactor]

The only drawback with Bamba is he's a foul machine...but he can likely work that out with experience

[dbestpro]

Cavs will get Porter. They still want to sign James and he will not play with a rookie PG.

[TheGreatYacht]

That makes 2 of us.

Like Carmelo is the comparison for every scorer that can't defend, Beasley for the scorer that is too much into weed, nate robinson for the undersized guy and bargnani for the soft euro big

too accurate

I'd say he's more Manu Ginobili.

I know Jaren Jackson, Jr. wasn't happy about Memphis picking him.

The kind you get in Orlando? LMAO he dead

he's 30 year old Ginobili

Don't worry y'all, we're drafting Matt DeVerga, who's a 4'11 SG from Tasmania, tbh.

[K...]

They made up before the draft.

[tbdog]

Okay seriously. Can the journo stop asking the same question 'What does it mean for you to be in the NBA?'

[Budkin]

Mavs get Doncic? Ugh

[SpurPadre]

These kids should do their best Pop impressions when asked that stupid ass question, tbh.

[phxspurfan]

Kings roster looks pretty good on paper:

De'Aaron Fox
Bogdan Bogdanovic
Buddy Hield
Marvin Bagley
Willie Cauley-Stein

Bagley can replace Z-Bo, Hield can replace Vince Carter, and then they just need some bench guys

[baseline bum]

So is Micheal Porter Jr the 2018 Dejuan Blair?

I'd tell them "Cash money, !"

[dbestpro]

Cavs taking Sexton is a signal they have given up on resigning Lebron. There is no way he will resign with a rookie PG starting. Unless, Sexton is being traded for Kemba Walker.

[SpurPadre]

So is Micheal Porter Jr the 2018 Dejuan Blair?

He has no ACLs?

[Russ]

Atlanta f'd up.

They could have had Docic or Jackson or Bamba.

If Trae Young isn't Steph Curry, they're in trouble.

[TheGreatYacht]

Would trade Delonte and his girlfriend for Sexton
