I still can’t believe he took Nnaji over McDaniels, good for the wolves though. And that Moore pick also sticks out :nonono:

Lets hope for a great pick today , no passing up future legit players for stinkers.

If they trade out of the 1st I wouldn't care too much, but not sure how we financially afford either Johnson or DFS if that's the deal.

I wonder if there's an addition to the NY-BRK deal where 24 or 25 goes to the Nets along with some additional salary to keep the Knicks from getting hard capped.

Although the Suns and Bucks might make sense for either of those guys too, although with their first. Actually scratch that, I just checked and neither team can afford them due to the 2nd apron. In fact, looking at the teams in the 20s, not sure I see anyone who can realistically afford either guy so not sure where this is all coming from.

Good point, blacked out about that part for a moment

I would pick Bronny in the second round if tbh. Would be fun

Neeva · Post #28 » by **Neeva** » Wed Jun 26, 2024 11:47 pm

**** it , just trade up for Jared McCain. He and Ant would make a nice pairing.

I wouldn’t hate it but I still want Djurisic. I have a feeling someone good will fall there. Also I’d LOL if the Lakers pick Bronny at 17.

What does Djurisic have that makes him different than Hezonja? Just askin.

Castle looks tiny, how is he 6’5?

IMHO Sarr has best potential by far and best NBA body right now, if Hawks pass it's because of the devaluation of big men in the current era.

Waiting to see who OKC picks so I know who the best player in the draft class is.

Some team gonna get a real bargain with Zach Edey. Hopefully an eastern conference team.

Yea like when Presti picked Pokusevski, Giddey and Ousmane Dieng.

Presti is so overrated

Hawks should pick Sarr.

He'll be a second rounder instead of 5th overall

Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Adams, Ibaka, Reggie Jackson, Dort, Holmgren, Jalen WIlliams, Cason Wallace.
Traded for Shai after a mediocre rookie season averaging 10 PPG and now he's a first team all-NBA player.

Yeah Presti is so bad.
Giddey is so worthless he was traded straight up for Caruso who other teams were offering multiple 1sts for.

Wizards got a steal there.
Sarr gives me KG vibes with his length, athleticism, and shooting touch.
Not saying he will ever be that good, but the skillset is there.

Sheppard is TINY.

Glad to see Gorgui in the Spurs draft room!
