NBA Draft Day thread

Shafted KJ? Or thought there was a better option?

If it was that quick that’s shafting.

You take him then look for a trade.

I realize it’s all business. I’m just kind of old fashioned.

 

[HeartofUlis]

I was through watching the Duke show on ESPN and switched over to the news just to hear them proclaiming Zion already as a superstar. WTF?

 

[Crawfords Corner]

It's a moot point for KJ now. Cleveland would be title-less if Lebron was born anywhere other than Ohio. They're still a trash franchise. KJ is going to a first-class organization now. Feels like he is more likely to be successful now than if he were stuck in Cleveland. Huge dub for KJ.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Where is Mac mclung? There is some dude on here that thinks he’s the next pistol Pete, and some if it actually had him drafted in the first round because he can dunk.

You can thank dan Gilbert for that. Even though lebron is the heart and soul of that franchise Dan never wanted to give into lebron to make the team better because dan is the owner and a bad one at that. I hope he enjoys his lottery picks the next ten years

 

[bbnkat02]

Klaxton to the Nets.

Good for him. Bol bol still waiting. Geez.

 

[KyCatFan1]

Really? You can say that about virtually everybody drafted tonight.

Not really. For the most part they expect the top guys to be good enough to be worthy of the investment of a 4 year contract. You don't expect to get rid of a lottery caliber player in a couple of years. Falling this late in the first round is almost a throwaway pick. I believe they only have to give him 2 years and will cut him loose if they are not happy with his performance.

 

[It'saDoneDeal]

He’s not, though. Davis, Durant - a couple.

Oh and eat one.

As prospects? Zion is ahead of where Durant was coming out of Texas. Davis is the only guy with an argument, but even Davis had questions regarding what kind of offensive player he'd be at the next level. Obviously, he bloomed quickly into a NBA superstar. Even then, that's 15 years of prospects and there are only two guys with an argument?

Zion is definitely the most exciting prospect since Lebron either way. There hasn't been a guy with his build and his level of athleticism... I mean, ever? He's an absolute freak of nature, like a John Wall/Charles Barkley combo. And he's an awesome, level-headed kid. Rooting for him to have an awesome career. We're only butthurt because he went to Duke. UK fans have been trying to downplay him going back to early last season when Reid Travis was going to show him what a man's game was or whatever.

 

[Nubb16]

Boston just got the steal of the draft. Dude is a straight baller.

 

[bbnkat02]

I mean did Bol Bol murder somebody or is he really just not that good?

Fragile goods.

I think he will be a bust

Fragile goods.

I guess.

 

[Shaudylo]

Awkward player and injury concerns.

I don’t see how you pass him up this late in the draft though .

Also, he's still recovering from his foot injury and is out in LA partying it up, maybe it isn't a good look for him.

Damn

Whelp. I don’t feel quite as bad for him now. Still awkward to get a green room invite though.

*during the UK visit*
Cal: I need you to calm down, Mr. Bol.
Bol: CALL ME BY MY LAST NAME, DANG IT.
Cal: Ok... Mr. Bol.

Gafford to the Bulls. SEC having a decent rep across the two rounds.


And yet another Zion shot. Can’t wait until Lebrun or Davis schools him.

 

[somethingalways1]

Could be Bol here. Pels need a center.

 

[bbnkat02]

The Admiral going to the 76ers.

Another SEC rep.

Bol Bol still waiting.

I’m really happy for Schofield .

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

I’m really happy for Schofield .

I like him as a pro better than Williams. I think he’ll make a decent pro player. Good athlete and can play both sides of the ball. Solid role player.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

How many SEC guys is that now?

I feel the same way you do .

 

[bbnkat02]

7 or 8. Of course the didn’t all go in the first round like God’s conference.

 

[bbnkat02]

Bol Bol green room invitee goes 44th to the Heat.

Rocking the double breasted suit though. Nice.

Good luck to you man.

 

[somethingalways1]

9

seems weird Naz Reid is rated so low, he has 10 year career written all over him IMO

 

[Col. Angus]

Someone needs to tell the ESPN and the NBA no one is watching anymore.

No.

LSU overpaid.

No, I’m sick and f’ing tired of Duke getting every benefit of the doubt all the time.

And NO, he’s not a better prospect than Durant or Davis were.

 

[It'saDoneDeal]

Agree to disagree on the prospect rankings. At worst, he’s the third best prospect in over 15 years and he’s definitely more exciting than either of those two. He’s John Wall in Barkley’s body. Wall got a shitload of hype in his time as well and I don’t remember us complaining. If Wall came out now as opposed to 10 years ago? With Twitter and NBA media being what it is now? Would be pretty comparable. Sounds like the real issue is that he went to Duke, not with Zion.
