NBA Thread 2020-21 Season

Well that’s less exciting. Seems like a pretty good move albeit boring.

 

[Melancer46]

Memphis could have gotten this guy at 17.
Wow

There was a lot of buzz he’d end up in the top 10 over the last 24 hours

 

[Melancer46]

Not a fan of the Giddey, Kuminga, and Mitchell picks personally. Curious to see what Sacramento is thinking adding Mitchell to Fox and Haliburton.

 

[jncuse]

This draft has been so all over the place that Quincy Guerrier has just put his name back in

 

[jncuse]

Bust.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Not exactly an inspiring list of the oldest top 10 picks in the last 20 years.

Rafael Araujo -- Caused me so much pain as a Raptor fan
Ekpe Udoh - I don't even think the guy has 3000 career minutes.
Wesley Johnson - He had a long enough career as a serviceable journeyman, but obviously was a reach at #3 in retrospect.

True story, I stand a hulking five foot eight, and I used to cross paths with Rafa on campus now and again.

There's no way that dude was taller than 6 foot 6. No chance.

I’m embarrassed as an Orange fan to admit that I was on spring break in Daytona Beach and missed the tourney game where GMac had 43 and beat that guy’s team. Have never even seen a rerun. This was the era of local broadcast so that game was not an option down there.

He seemed like he was a legit 6'8 or 6'9 type player when I watched him play -- comparing to others. But perhaps I am wrong on that as I was distracted by all the boners he would make.

Problem to me were his arms were the length of someone 5 foot 3.
And had the basketball awareness of an 11 year old and the athleticism of my grandfather.
Other than that he was a solid 8th pick overall.

 

[Melancer46]

Primo is the first major shocker of the night. Wowsers.

Somebody needs to take my dude Alperen Sengun. Insane that he’s fallen this far.

A 24 year old first round pick. Wow.

Is he gonna be able to stay on the floor? Was crazy that he ended up #1 on Peltons board because of how insane his season was at this age. I'd have taken a shot on him over basically everyone past 5 except for Wagner and Kuminga.

Seems like a good deal for Houston.

No clue why OKC didn't take a swing on him. Not like they have any bigs that matter yet.

 

[Alsacs]

New Orleans moved down 7 spots and got I player I like more than the 10th pick.

I would've preferred Keon Johnson but good with it. Desperate for shooting and defense in Nola.

They continue to stretch their lead in future first round picks. This is more important to Presti than actually ever winning.

 

[Alsacs]

Knicks passed on the Johnsons.


Charlotte is a good team to get a future first pick from. They will always suck.

 

[Alsacs]

Atlanta can’t get away from Duke freshmen who underachieved.
First Cam Reddish now Jalen Johnson. If

Dont be going on twitter and going ahead of tv and posting it.

If I could actually deal with the ESPN set and analysis I wouldn’t.
Those guys are so bad I can’t watch them. Plus the Olympics and soccer were on.

Hey Portland we'll give ya SGA and 3 1st rounders for Dame. Hey Philly, we'll give ya Kemba, Dort and 5 1sts for Simmons. Hey Wiz we'll give ya Giddey, Poku, and 5 1sts for Beal. Boom superteam.

I’ll be surprised if Sengun isn’t a productive NBA player. He was my #5 or #6 prospect in the draft and I think one of the safer picks in the draft.
