I think we should consider OG for 4. OG would be a perfect fit w Harden, they have to prove they want to win now to get him. OG is a position need and doesn't make much so he keeps cap space open. Amen doesn't fit w houston.


imo Amen could end up being the best player in the draft. History says wemb is injury prone, Scoot is small and can't shoot, Miller's ceiling is more of a 2 maybe 3rd best guy.


Amen learns to shoot(which he has shown improvements throughout the season) look out

OG is actually a perfect fit for Houston. Harden/Green/OG/Smith/Sengun is a lineup. They could easily afford OG's extension moving forward also. I could see them making a strong offer for him. They have some good picks this year and lots of talented young players (such as Tari Eason) that I would be interested in.

I thought this was interesting in how player's are trying to reshape their narrative:

I think if Bailey proves he can facilitate it really helps his stock. UCLA had Tyger Campbell so Bailey was way more off ball.

From what I see with him, he can make some good reads in the halfcourt, but nothing too risky or anything beyond basic.

POR would be stupid af to trade their pick if they arent getting a real star. Just trade lillard he’s 33 and their team stinks.

So, day 2 after the lottery, Miller is a lock to go to CHA at 2, but is out of shape and not interviewing well.

he'll be a bust dude. every year someone gets drafted high then busts, why not him?

More than one. I’d like to see this with 2011-2017 added but ain’t nobody got time for that. I’d imagine it is similar…

They said the same thing about LaMelo, not interviewing well, ahead of his draft. Miller will likely go top 3 regardless.

Portland, Houston, Detroit all slamming Scoot and Miller from here on out.

Bricktavion with another brick

Unable to watch this set of scrimmages, but he may have played himself from solid 2nd rounder to not being invited to Summer League.

He will be bagging groceries in a couple years.

I get the feeling that Mavs are hunting bigger fish with teh 10th pick. Precious and Boucher don't move the needle for them.

Not a chance we move off Precious to move up 3 spots.

lol you're much higher on Precious than most people.
Would you move down to 16 to take on an undersized center that had a 53 TS%?

I would definitely move down 3 spots to get back a guy whose shown flashes of elite defense and some offensive creation. 3 spots up or down is next to nothing.

Tristan Vukcevic is the man. Three passports, speaks four languages fluently and is a highly skilled big man. You have to skip to about the 4 minute mark to hear him in English, but you can get a sense of smart the guy is. Kind of wise beyond his years. He just has a confidence about him that is good to see from a guy who has played only in Europe.

This kid has a chance to come in and have a Vucevic type impact in the league. No one thought you were getting 20/10 from him when he was taken in the second round.

Givony sucks. Espn should get rid of that guy. DP was good now his stuff at espn is poor

trade him where?

Before you answer, remember they'd have scoot and shape in the backcourt. Simmons too. They'd want a 4 or 5 elite prospect. Find this trade. And he makes a lot of money so you gotta match salary. It has to work for both teams. Make something make sense

Put him on the market and teams will be aggressive for him. Had a very good season last year. Houston could be a player, same with Pelicans. BRK as well with the Bridges connection.

Jordan Walsh had a much better day two doing his usual boxscore filling: 15/7/5 plus 2 steals and 1 block and 7 FTA.
Amari Bailey 19/6/2 so 14 assists to 5 turnovers in 2 days but only one made three which is going to be what he needs to work on.
Terq Smith 20 and 4 assists is not bad. From the comments here it sounded like he had a terrible game.

this draft looks like **** honestly. there might be two or three stars, but it's not a great draft. i would just swing for the fences @ 13. much preferred the last two lotteries/drafts.

Ok, Pelicans best trade assets are guards. So you have sccot, Sharpe, Daniels, Troy simmons? 5 guards, no bigs? Or are you trading Zion for Dame?

BK? Dame wants to win so you trade him to BK, trade away the only good player they have?

It doesn't make sense. Find something that makes sense

Amari shot 38.9% from 3 in college. Not really something he has to work on. He’s proven to be a capable shooter
