The 2017 NBA Draft Thread

[CobraCommander]

I think Charlotte and Miami can finish in the 6-8 slots, along with possibly Philly fighting for a spot

As they move forward we slip... fortunately Atlanta gonna disappear...hopefully

Why would we slip? We haven't lost anything

The Wizards won't slip but we won't get significantly better until we make a larger move. Need guys like Otto and Oubre to continue progressing to the point where they can be packaged for a star.

I could be wrong but my mindset is that if you don't win it all, you either improve your team or you lose ground against teams that are improving their roster. Standing pat is a losing position unless you GSWs...

I swear if Brooklyn picks OG with our pick I'm killing myself

We aren't poised to make a major move right now. Ernie is always a step behind
Our core is still relatively young, we need to fire Ernie and bring in a GM who can develop & acquire assets to make further moves

Some tasty options at number 22.

Jaret Allen. Regrets?

Jaret Allen. Regrets?

They said the guy has a 7'6 wingspan and "will be a good lob threat for DeAngelo Russell" but may not "love basketball"
Definitely gonna keep an eye on this dude to see how he turns out

Jaret Allen. Regrets?

Hmmm would he get minutes in Washington?

Worse thing you can say is does someone love basketball....

He's probably a better offensive player than Mahinmi is right now.

Rabb and OG are still out there. We could've used that pick forsure. **** Bojan

The question is will they have a better career than JA...

As a Syracuse fan, my entire reason for watching this draft is to see who makes the mistake of selecting Tyler Lydon.

OG would have been very nice - and even nicer if he didn't go to the Raps...

Actually we traded out 2021 second for burke it was not 2019 that was in the kelly Oubre deal. i think, im pretty sure anyway.

Unless the Wizards trade for a pick (hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!), my night is complete: according to Woj, the Denver Nuggets are this year's winner of The Syracuse Sweepstakes, which involves being the team that selects a hilariously in-over-their-head member of the Syracuse Orange who has unwisely chosen to leave school early. Tyler Lydon and Malachi Richardson will soon be commiserating with each other in the D-League. If he can't hack it in Washington, Chris McCullough will make it a triple.
