I'm fine with us going from 2 draft picks this draft down to 1. we need to focus on adding veterans rather than young kids.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything

Re: Draft Thread
Wow -- Sengun, Garuba, and Johnson were all available @16. Wish Brad didn't have to give up that pick to move Kemba.

can't find the post about "Small lineups don't work anymore".. meanwhile not a single Big has been drafted yet, besides Mobley. it's almost all wings!
Sengun, at 16, is the first player taken at over 225 lbs. League is really changing.

Houston adds Jalen Green and Sengun. Solid.

really weird pick to take a PG in the top 10 when your franchise player who is still very young is a PG..

Re: Draft Thread
Still sticking with my prediction that the Celtics get back in the late first round and pick Sharife Cooper.
My prediction is still alive.

Even if they believed he was the best player available, they have to make a trade. Too many ball needy players..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe..

Re: Draft Thread
Murphy is a solid pick. No secret the pelicans wanted to add a floor spacer to play alongside Ingram and Zion. Now you go Ingram at the 2, Murphy at the 3, Zion at the 4. Good size at all 3 spots. Murphy is a good defender too which is good since Zion and Ingram are not very good defensively.

Re: Draft Thread
it's remarkable how inept NBA front offices are on draft night. They're so bad they have people believing it's a crap shoot and coin toss instead of because they don't know how to evaluate prospects. This might be the very worst drafting I've witnessed in decades of watching NBA drafts. I just don't understand how these people get these jobs.
