2016 NBA Draft Thread

[jncuse]

Good luck Malachi

 

[Shark58]

King Mali to the Kings

good for him, but what a crap franchise

 

[orangenauburn]

He sounds disappointed

 

[Briancuse]

Would have liked to see him go to a better franchise, but im glad he was picked there.

 

[RandygoCuse]

Five years in a row - cuse first round pick

 

[longislandcuse]

Great fit!

I don't love Sacramento but I love him in Sacramento, if that makes any sense.

 

[Briancuse]

He sounds disappointed

He doesn't look happy.

 

[Jake]

He ain't happy..."everything happens for a reason" is something you say when you're disappointed.

His promise fell through...

 

[tee1222]

He sounds disappointed

Yup. A little disappointed but I'm sure a little nervous energy. Just the sweeter when he proves the teams wrong that picked a few SG/SFs in front of him. Go get em Mali!

He just learned that this is a business. Hopefully he uses this as motivation.

Hey, good life lesson for him. Next week he will be all smiles! He did a terrific job selling himself after the season was over. Hat's off to him! I mean what huge contribution this kid has made to the Orange brand. I wish him nothing but the best of luck with his NBA career!

Never seen a guy less excited after being drafted

 

[OrangeDW]

Great fit!

Stauskus and McLemore makes me cautious. That franchise sucks, and can't develop players at all.

He was waiting to get picked and is processing everything in real time with a microphone in his face. Give him a break.

Funny how expectations work. If you told him two months ago that he would go 22 he'd have been thrilled. Instead he looked miserable.

 

[Alsacs]

Danny Ainge blows so bad tonight.

Now I wish they traded for nerlens Noel as these picks suck. Even though that Noel trade wasn't enough it was better.

Its really not a good fit, I was hoping he would go to a better franchise.

Zach Lavine on Minnesota...

 

[bpo57]

Also a gamble to sit in the green room. Nowhere to hide.

I'm sure teams "promise" several players and as the draft unfolds they choose their best prospect. He's fine, he got his first rd wish and is in the league. Now it's on him to make a career out of it.

 

[CaliCuse]

State capital here so thats team I will follow a bit.

It's amazing. 3 first round picks - I would have figured I'd be excited about at least one of them.

Congrats to Mali on the first round though.

People have been saying that these promises mean nothing, and noting is a lock when it comes to the draft, and some people in here didn't want to listen.

 

[Alsacs]

Brice Johnson to the Clippers looks like a great pick. He could be an all-rookie team player next year.

 

[rrlbees]

still 2 green room guys on the board.

I'm not blaming him-He just found out Demarcus Cousins will be his teammate. I'm just pointing how unhappy he looked.
