yeah he would have been better off starting his career on a contender.

He's the 4th pg on that team, for the moment at least. Sucks

on the other hand it will also be so satisfying if he outplays cade or ivey. sasser isn't bench fodder he has too much pride and talent to ride an NBA bench

He’s the 26th pick. He’s riding the bench bro. :lol:

Nick Smith finally gets picked

most of the interesting guys left will probably be gone by 35

Huh? How? In what way?

Every East contender improved with their moves. We are neither contending nor rebuilding and still failed to choose a direction. Smh

They did pick a direction. Standing pat and adding at the margins. They're trying to be competitive with Fred and Pascal leading it.

Picking mediocrity isn’t choosing a direction

Nick Smith Jr went from #1 in his class to being picked 27th. Still think he’ll have a solid career

Hey JJ tell that to Masai, now I know why he didnt move forward in the process all because he believes you need to build through the draft.

Honestly all my guys are gone, I'm pretty much done with this draft. Gonna try to figure out what UDFAs I would want.

is he just overcome with emotion or is this his Deyonta Davis moment?

I still want Amari

Bulls and raptors have to be the most depressing teams. Both missed the playoffs are sticking with status quo.

Would be nice to buy a second round pick to get a guard.

70% of the guys in the draft won't be NBA players beyond their rookie deals. Don't lose too much sleep over late first rounders...

I forgot about them. At least we got Gradey, but their situation just sucks. They keep missing the playoffs and giving lottery picks to Orlando.

Not really sure what Detroit is doing.

Cade, Ivey, Thompson and then Sasser

At least a couple of the guys left of the board will be good pros

Weve been talking about buying picks since the BC era and it never happens. All we ever do is trade second rounders for cash considerations or trade first rounders for washed or flawed players

Really hate Utah's draft

Seems like Utah has outsourced their draft picks to ESPN. Bunch of guys analytical guys hate, but were rated highly by the media.

Denver getting another solid player to add to their depth.
