This guy Holland in some mock draft going #13, but went at #5, sounds like it will be a lot of that tonight.

Detriot has too many dumbasses. Seems like a bad pick to take another one.

How do we feel about Holland at 5?

Freaking horrible. Terrible pick by Pistons.

Seems like they could have traded down and got him, but was anyone trying to trade up?

Buzelis is the guy I'm hoping for in Utah. Maybe trading back for Topic if he's falling.

But dang there are not many guys I'm excited for.

Best pick for Charlotte is Knecht.
Expect them to take Clingan, and have a trade going with Portland (maybe sending Simons to Charlotte).

Is this the record for most French players in the top ten?

As of this second, I think Utah is the worst team in the Western conference by a pretty significant margin.

Wow, the Spurs are going to get Buzelis and Castle...that quite a haul.

Utah built a team that had no defense other than Gobert. If a guy elevates your team and is in turn elevated by its strengths, I think that is a good fit. I could see Dillingham taking a tumble -- would he really be that bad of a gamble for Minnesota? If his scoring and playmaking pop he'd be a potential long-term answer as a starting point guard - will there be anyone else at that point in the draft who would be?

I'm not sure why, but I see his best-case scenario as maybe Jeff Teague. We've seen that already here and it doesn't excite me. I'd rather add a wing role player who might lack the upside over locking ourselves in on a PG who probably wouldn't take us anywhere.

I have no idea what is about to happen but Shams is apparently saying Dillingham to Minnesota?

How on earth is Minnesota trading for #8?

heckinjohn · Post #2718 » by **heckinjohn** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 1:02 am

Did charlotte trade 6?

clyde21 · Post #2719 » by **clyde21** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 1:02 am

wow, love my some Dilly but that's a wild trade up

Now Edey to Memphis haha, what a crazy draft! I really don't like the fit with Ja, but I am just super intrigued to see if he ends up being good (I think he's going to be a bit better than Zubac, so I don't actually hate the value at 9).
