Re: 2023 NBA Draft: Thursday June 22
I think the Rockets are starting to like Whitmore more and more as we get closer to the draft. I also believe the Pistons will go either Whitmore, if available, or Walker. So I'd say it's looking more like Wemby, Scoot, Miller, Whitmore, Walker. But who knows. This draft could get wild from pick no. 2.
God. Family. Country. Basketball.

Last week, I thought the Thompson twins might fall out of the top 5, but now it looks like now they could go 4 and 5.

Re: 2023 NBA Draft: Thursday June 22
I know next to nothing about these prospects, I get exited about this every year, but as I watch it, I realize how boring it is because I dont know anyone. That said, I still took a day off on Friday so I could watch this, and for some reason, I expect a lot of trades. ALso, in late draft, if I am somehow still awake, I hope my guy Ažuolas Tubelis gets drafted. I know some believe he is definitely goes undrafted, but I would bet he does.
Took Friday off so I could sleep over and read RealGM all day, damn hope it doesn't go down from traffic. Also, I already hate the fact I need to go to therapist 10:00 AM Friday still, I would so sleep that moment, my lifes already wrapped, I dont know why I still doing that terapy thing.

Hey man! You’re life isn’t wrapped - I enjoy your posts a lot. Not that you care but thought I’d tell ya.
Hopefully Tabouli gets drafted…would be cool. I do think he’s a homeless man’s Jokic

Re: 2023 NBA Draft: Thursday June 22
man. you just shouldn't draft a 6'2 guard that high. use the asset to get something else. locking in valuable picks or cap space/contracts for short guards who aren't named wardell stephen...it just doesn't ever make sense.

Re: 2023 NBA Draft: Thursday June 22
Brandon Miller got sick.
Link.
There’s been a lot of buzz about Miller potentially going second. But after reportedly losing 13 pounds due to mononucleosis, he’s not in the best of shape. Miller has underwhelmed in workouts, not showing the same level of “intensity and conditioning” as Henderson, according to Draft Express.

Re: 2023 NBA Draft: Thursday June 22
I don't like this draft. It has that 2014 type of stink where Denver walks out with BPA drafted as 40th pick during Dunkin' commercial with Ben Affleck.

I always look at quick videos of all the first round guys and then make terrible opinions based on basically nothing... I like having like a bust/star list in my head and overreact to the draft...
WHY DID HE PICK THAT GUY HE SUCKS! = based on a 2 minute video

Re: 2023 NBA Draft: Thursday June 22
As a Spurs fan it's so crazy to see the amount of attention he gets from the media already. It will be interesting to see how they follow him in his rookie season. Something we really aren't used to down here
