Draft Day 2023

Post #41 » by **JDR720** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 8:21 pm

This is the most nervous I've about a draft since...maybe ever.

Going to tune out and check back tomorrow so I don't go insane.

This goes into what I've mentioned about it being guaranteed that someone in a Zion trade is getting screwed over. Both sides want compensation against that.

Exactly, if they trusted Zion he'd never be available. If he's available then there should be red flags everywhere, which means you'd ask for more risk assurances.

I just saw Woj on ESPN and he had that uncertain look when he said Brandon Miller will be the pick. Seemed like he was guessing.

I think Shams is more reliable in clutch situations.

I think Scoot ends up being the pick. We likely trade Melo down the line because neither will be at their best sharing the ball together.

So we trade the player who can shoot?

Scoot going space mariachi on ESPN - Brooks & Dunn is apropos - got kinda a hip hop honky tonk thing going on. I won't write drip. Drip. Won't write it. Pics of his family just flashed by - looks like a very tight group.

I bet Dick has a ton of drip

I want to draft Asur Thompson. I like his personality a lot

You just beat me to it. Impressed. Thompson Twins are likable.

Whichever twin is wearing the lighter colored suit is the one I would want to draft

Agreed. I'd be happy with either one.
