Lol. 3 picks after a kid who played zone got picked. What a snarky botard.
This year? Heavily doubt that.
No but similar size/skill/position to where Grant was 5 years ago entering the draft.
Agreed, I would be shocked if Bazley takes serious minutes from a guy who is a more polished and athletic version of himself. Maybe in a few years Bazley takes his spot but he is not the player that Grant has become at this point.Yeah. But Grant got picked by a tanking Philly team which allowed him to get early minutes. OKC is a playoff team trying to win. Grant has gotten better every year and is coming off his best season, and age wise should be hitting his prime.
He seems a safe bet to get 30 mpg for the next few years at the minimum, regardless.

He'll be a sub in TBT as soon as this contract runs out. Peace out dummy.
FIFYThat would be such a juvinile, asini e, moronic, look.
Most absurd thing I’ve ever heard
Once this one and done era is over he’ll be remembered as the guy who gamed the system to the limitWhat a mistake he made...or something
He’s going to suck
Just a terrible take.He screwed us big time and was rewarded for it.
With guaranteed millionsDarius will end up getting his wish to play in the G League as he will most like do up spending most of his time down there as a designated player
the takes in the first page of this thread are freezing cold takes material. Yikes
Exactly. Everyone is acting like they know how this story plays out, when it is very early. I don't think being drafted at 23rd proves anything. He could have gone to Cuse, played well, and maybe cracked the Top 10. He could have gone to Cuse, played poorly, and dropped to the second round. He was always considered to be a NBA prospect. Clearly he trained enough, and did well enough in the combine, to keep himself relevantJust a terrible take.
How he impacted SU had nothing to do with being taken in the 1st round.
Based upon what he did, he probably had zero interest in going to school, and would have negatively impacted the grad rate, and people would have been hating on him for that.
I agree and said the same thing when he opted out of coming here. However there were many people on this board who said it was the biggest mistake of his life and he would never be heard from again, and that is obviously not the case. My point then and now is that college basketball is no longer the only route to the NBA, and IMHO it played a role in doing away with the one and done. In a way I applaud the kid - screw the faux emphasis on academics, I want to play ball, and that is what I am going to focus on.Exactly.

He was projected to go in the 14-18 range and went 23. So he cost him self around 2m going to New Balance. I don't wish any ill will towards the kids but the idea that this shows he made the right decision cracks me up. I'm glad he got drafted and will make some money. I feel for these kids that are 18 years old and put in a position that it is very clear to them they need to get the money because they have siblings and parents living in poverty or near poverty.
Where and when was he projected 14-18?
