June 26-27, 2024 - Draft Days Thread (second round starts 3 pm)

I wonder if there is any team that really wants Kolek at 27. I could see Connelly moving the pick for future draft capital.

[Neeva]

I don’t want Kolek tbh, he’s slow. Maybe at 37.

[younggunsmn]

If he goes undrafted we should sign Dillingham's Kentucky teammate Antonio Reaves to a 2-way as an undrafted free agent.
6'6 wing who can really shoot it.

[BlacJacMac]

Yikes, Denver traded up for DaRon Holmes. He's a stud that I was hoping we'd get at 27. Since Phoenix traded back to 28, maybe we can get Kolek there.

I don't think we need to draft another PG.

I'd much rather have Scheierman.

Is “competitive” the magic word ESPN producers challenged their hosts to try to slide into the show 50 times?

Kyshawn George with the fro. Draft him.

[jpatrick]

Still thinking shooter: Scheierman, Furphy, George, Dadiet, Christie.

Maybe Filipowski for value? Don’t love him though. Highly doubt any of the PGs. Can only develop 1 at a time.

Something about Shannon I didn’t like. I’m not sure how he’d perform without the ball in his hands.

[Neeva]

Scheiermann, Smith, Collier, Shannon , one or more will be there at 27.

I would be down for that. It is worth remembering that we have 3 two way spots and cannot bring back Garza as one of them. Clarke is the only guy currently in those 3 spots. Plus even if he doesn’t pan out, might provide RD with some extra comfort and improve his G league development.

[younggunsmn]

Good move for Denver but kind of curious they gave up so much for him when they already have Nnaji on an extension.
Must not have much faith in Nnaji.
I would have looked for a long term KCP replacement over a backup center with my limited resources.

[Neeva]

Interesting pick by the Bucks, I thought he would be available in second round (33) for them.

Agreed. Seemed like a weird pick as much as I like the player.

[Klomp]

With 15 total spots and really only 14 players (given how much they cost,) I don’t know if we draft more than one more player this year. Especially if you want to sign Morris and Anderson even if you plan to trade one at the deadline.

Well, 37 could easily be on a two-way

I think that he's played a total of 25 minutes over the last two postseasons tells you how much faith they have in him.

[younggunsmn]

Well at least it's not 4 hours of tragedy porn like their NFL draft coverage.
But their coverage is still brutally brutally awful with almost zero actual in depth prospect analysis.

[KATKlownFeet]

Don't like Denver getting Holmes. They did give up quite a bit though.

He’s ok he’s a bad shooting Naz. I thought would be good insurance if we trade Naz.

He's a better defending Naz or a better passing Naz.

No TV, watching ESPN's side stream with Windhorst, Pelton and some other guy

Well their backup bigs do play about 25 minutes in a whole series.
But I agree, Malone does not trust him at all.
You would think he would prefer a veteran at that spot if they have no faith in Nnaji.

[Neeva]

Hope the **** knicks don’t take who I want.

[wolves_89]

There's going to be an interesting choice at 27. At least 3 of Collier, Kolek, Furphy, Shannon, and Sheierman will be available.
