"The best pick and roll guard in the draft." Apparently best = 70th in the NCAA.

Rick, how do you figure Josh Jackson is falling to 6?

I think the Celtics have talked themselves into Issac, I think Phoenix prefers Tatum, I think Sac is going to go with Fox because he wants to be there..

I don't think it's a good thing.

I was so sports-upset from everything that's happened recently I forgot that ESPN waits until 4:30 to do these things and now my wings are going to be cold by the time it starts )=

"He wanted to go to Arizona but it didn't work out."

It didn't work out because he was going to get beat out by Alonzo Trier and Rawle Alkins so he went to Australia. Let's draft him 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ESPN's video production has gotten so bad since the firings that I'm just impressed when they don't have any very obvious production mistakes.

How does Fultz's team only win 9 times? Did he face a bunch of lottery talent teams or something?

Pac 12 is competitive, coach was really really bad at coachign (a good recruiter though, he's already helped Arizona out).

What are the chances that any of Dunn, Lavine, or the pick become as good as Butler? It's got to be astronomic, right?

Lavine when healthy is pretty great but an ACL injury is a long rehab.

If Josh Jackson learns to shoot and Bender becomes a good basketball player the Suns are gonna be wonderful.

I really do like the guy a lot and I think as long as his defense is acceptable he's gonna be great.

I spent five hours yesterday listening to draft podcasts and every one of them agreed that the players above 6'9" no longer have a place in basketball so that is why so many of them had Markkanen so low.

I mean I guess they might be right.

MourningView posted:

Smith and I guess Giles are the only guys left who have a chance to be a star (my heart wants Monk to be one but my brain says sixth man) , I think, but there are a ton of solid starters or rotation type guys left

Yeah I'll agree with that. I think I'm just more used to drafts where the fall off is hard once the potential stars are gone.

Can someone give me a super brief rundown of why i should be happy about dennis smith.

i mean i believe you guys, i just don't follow college basketball/the draft at all and i'm watching college baseball so I can't even get bad ESPN takes

Against bad schools he looked like John Stockton and Stephon Marbury combined. I think the talk about his attitude is garbage.

Against good schools, it was a bit more of a mixed bag, although he probably won't be triple teamed in the NBA like NC State.

Declan MacManus posted:

Past Fultz everyone in the draft has pretty significant flaws

I'll agree with that too, but I think despite those flaws there's roles for a lot of these guys. I don't think we're going to repeat last year where only 8-9 players look like they're going to make it to their second contract.

I actually do like Collins but I think it's really important that people realize he's a project. It got so out of control that I was seeing Towns comps.

I think Monk plays D when motivated and adding another scorer is what the Hornets really needed and them getting one out of this draft is a pretty big surprise.

I like him a lot, lots of energy, lots of strength. Although he's super super super raw on offense, which had him projected in the 30s just four weeks ago.

Actually looking at the draft express rankings Bam was 34 TODAY. Although it looks like they did what I did and shuffled stuff around needlessly today.

This is the exact opposite of what the Ringer dude predicted. Instead of teams getting scared and not drafting the project big men, they are drafting them ten spots higher than projected.
