Absurdly early 2018 NBA Draft Thread

Sexton with 31 against Auburn. He's stepped up in the sec tourney and should be rising on the late-season draft boards.

Wish we could just draft Teen Wolf and just be done with it.

Not really worried about the Minny pick conveying at all, until they are a couple of games or so below the 8 spot. That pick could net us an intriguing prospect.

I don’t want to play with fire. I’d like to see them with a few more games because they are on a big time slide..granted it’s their toughest part of the schedule but I’m concerned.

Nah, Teen Wolf was an athletic freak. His PER was phenomenal too. 8-)

That’s real talk yes indeed!

Ps The Suns are really pissing me off and Dwight is about to get up double double 20/10 on them and Hornets up 19 late 3rd..smh

Suns players who were out today due to “injuries”...

Devin Booker (triceps)
TJ Warren (back)
Josh Jackson (knee)

I hope Robert Sarver is expecting a letter from the league soon. From Dallas to Chicago to Phoenix? Why haven’t the Grizz been warned either?

It's normal to get antsy. Minny has a tough upcoming stretch of games, but then it's: Clips, NY, Philly, Memphis, Atl, Dallas which are all winnable. SA and Wash are tough but winnable. I think they finish at 44-45 wins.

They own the tie breaker with: OKC, Utah, NO, Portland, Clips,

I have them at 46 wins...but feeling less antsy knowing that Minny has the tie break over all of those teams. So I’m assuming the Nuggets own the tie breaker against the Wolves?

If they do indeed have the tie breaker with those teams, I don’t mind them winning less games that I was afraid of a minute ago. After all, some teams have to get in.

Because they're listing these guys out with injuries. What's Silver gonna do? Just say they're not hurt and that the Suns are lying without concrete evidence?

The Bulls got a letter because they straight up benched Robin Lopez and Jrue Holiday without a real reason.

This is why Silver will never really be able to get coaches like Pop from resting players: all the team has to do is list the player out with an "injury" and the NBA commissioner's office is helpless.

Ya this really stinks. I’m sure the Kawhi injury was also related to the league and Pop went ahead and took matters into his own hands.

Can we “list” Dennis, Prince and Collins out for a week with various nick nack injuries?

Adam Silver needs to have NBA doctors representing the league vs each team...nah that wouldn’t work prolly ...aaahhhh frustrating!

Spud, I figured you were here after watching 'Nova show out in the Big East Tourney.

That young man is a testament to what 4 years of college can do for a kid.

Sidenote: If we fall back and end up drafting Mikal, I fully support drafting his Villanova teammate Jalen Brunson with the HOU pick.

Yes indeed! He might be the only reason I don’t mind dropping a few spots down but like you’ve mentioned before, let’s double up and get a couple of these studs!

Ayton is a certified beast. Here's to 0-16 for the rest of this season or a GM dumb enough to take someone else #1.

Ya...I wouldn’t be mad at getting Ayton :lol:

I’m right there with you hawkman! It’s our turn for a superstar! :nod:

Are you happy with the draft?
