2018 NBA Draft Live Thread - No Twitter Spoilers

[Adelaide Hawk]

Pretty sure the Lakers/Sixers trade for 39 can't be official until the 7th of July or something so the Sixers picked for the Lakers and it'll be processed in a couple of weeks. Has to do with the cash considerations since the Sixers had already taken the max of 5.1mil over the last season so have to wait until then for it to reset.

Thanks for that. The commentators do a lot of crapping on about the suits the players are wearing and how long their arms are, but they don't explain things I really want to know about

For the sake of the east and the fact i like ny I kinda want them to become something, and then I see their fans behaviour and go nah, eat s**t campaigners

Was there any notable reaction when we drafted and then traded Donkeyich?

Someone on nbatv mock draft was saying of Bambas work with a trainer that Bamba has come further in the last three months than anyone he had seen. I had already seen people commenting on how much progress Bamba is making. In saying that they reckoned everyone was a future star as they did their mock so lol.

Could legit average 3 blocks and double digit rebounds his 1st season, I'm confident in that. I hope the word on his jumper true, we really need a franchise anchor as I sss AG as a more Blake Griffin piece than franchise star.

Phoenix going to play small ball with Booker,Jackson and Bridges?

Adds to the spacing. Jackson and Warren will like the cuts and Ayton can work inside. Bridges the best 3 and D guy in the draft so can have immediate impact. Don’t mind the PG at 31 either. Fair shooting splits.

You'll fit in just fine kid.

 

[stewie griffen]

Missed the draft.

Bagley at 2? Ok then
Dallas get Doncic, great move, lets see if the trade pays off.
Bamba, like it for them
WCJ, thanks god it wasnt porter
Philly trading Bridge was a bit of a surprise
MPJ is a good pick by the Nuggs at 14
Utah... why oh why

 

[djrossie16]

Utah... why oh why

Dis gon b gud stewie!

 

[peternorth]

Like clockwork, Utah pick a whitey

Taller Anthony Davis. He's already a reasonable shooter. Could be a pretty good one in a few years.

Nobody talking about the Pels' draft?

We nailed it as usual.

 

[hamG]

Yah, ceiling call. He's already the same narrowish type big man athlete except longer. He has decent fundamentals and is a decent shot. No reason why he can't get at least good or even great at more things.

Tony Carr, sounds like a nice enough bloke

A taller AD would win MVP every year!

He could well become a very good player, but IMO I don't really see Davis in him, at least not in an offensive sense. AD was a guard who grew freakishly big, he still doesn't play as a traditional big offensively. He basically plays like Chris Webber used to, minus the passing.

I don't watch much college ball, but from what I've seen Orlando would be hoping he becomes Gobert defensively and Capela offensively.

He can join Cheick Diallo and Frank Jackson in the Pelican era draft HOF.

Kangz are just so damn weird. It's great.

Kostas Anteotokounmpo picked with pick 60.
- 15 mins a game > 5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 blocks for Dayton

Surely just based on the improvement his brother made
Never would have been picked without the name

Problem is Kostas is the same age now that Giannis was the year put up 17/7.5/4.5/1.2/1.2 in the NBA

 

[KingNothing]

Dis gon b gud stewie!

Him and Jingles together? Troll city!

I like the pick. He’s an athletic beast, can shoot, can defend, and has plenty of hustle.

Snyder and co are amazing at getting the best (and then some)out of guys who want to work, and I think that’s Allen. Excited!

Yeah, I doubt if too many pick 60s enjoy long and lucrative NBA careers. Worth a shot I guess.
