well I guess this will give Jay Bilas lots of time to go over his best remaining second round candidates and focus on some 5 year Appalachian State University senior
They need to split it between lottery and the rest if they want anyone to turn on the TV the second day. That would be annoying though, as a fan better for them to put the second round on its own day so I can watch all the relevant parts at once and ignore the rest

Going to spend the next few months brainwashing myself into thinking the first round doesn't exist and the Raptors have the #1 overall pick in the draft.

I thought Ant would be a bust, the Tatum-Fultz swap was stupid, and Luka would be bad. I watch zero college or international hoops and make purely vibes based predictions.

Only the Luka one out of these sucks, I was like “he’s a 18 year old playing against grown men and not future engineering managers like Tacko Fall”.

I’ve taken this to the extreme though and like until mid last year thought Killian Hayes was redeemable

Nodding along because I thought you were talking about whoever is backing up Klay on the bench on GSW and that they should be starting

Then I saw it was about the All Star list. Klay?? What the gently caress?!

I guess if they voted old stinky rear end Kobe the Rapist (new rules this is the only way anyone can reference him) an all star dude as a legacy thing I'm okay with basically everyone else in history getting in.
Although it did piss me off when the nation of Georgia tried to get the Kawhi-Mangler in there. gently caress outta here with that.

I will always remember a post from Dejan about SGA, not pre-draft but during his rookie year, calling him a Slithery Snake Man and then listing a couple other current NBA players that are also Slithery Snake Men, one of which, was, of course, Paul George. I think he called Kyle Anderson a partial Slithery Snake Man.

I was 100% on the Luka train but there is some historical revisionism taking place by some pundits. Luka was like any other long time scouted hyped prospect, eventually with enough time people start to focus on the warts and flaws and that enters the discourse vs some college freshman who popped during a hot tournament. There were actual discussions from people about what Lukas ceiling was and if he was just going to top at as a Hedo level player

the Kings top euro scout had a do not draft grade

Klay has never been better than a borderline all star and this season he's just straight bad

From a viewer standpoint this is dumb but I usually don't watch the 2nd round anyway. I am guessing GMs want time to survey what happened day 1 and adjust, instead of having to do it all in real time.



Yeah I think the first one might be a ratings success for the novelty but after that it’ll die hard. But it might lead to better drafting in the second round.

I thought Luka would be really really good but probably not what he became because he was a dude without top-end athleticism and what looked like a really shaky shot. Obv I was wrong but I don't think that's an outrageous thing to be concerned with. You don't really know if those guys are able to adapt to NBA speed and if he struggled with that he'd look WAY different.

Reminder that players typically aren't super excited about their team getting good picks and bringing in more competition. So it's not like it'll light a fire for players or anything.

The big thing with draft coverage they need to fix is the stupid rule that means guys have to wear the wrong hats even though everyone knows the trade happened.
