Official: Draft Day Game Thread

[sco]

At least Giddey saved us from Topic.

The cameraman for sure thinks his brother is the one who got drafted lol

[chitowndish]

Nice I like the rim protection and versatility but it did mean a lot how much he wanted to be here and how much it meant to him. Nice to get someone that can be a high level at cutting to the basket he should get some nice opportunities with athleticism like that.

[TheSuzerain]

Thunder are just elite at this.

[Muzbar]

I asked for Matas in the too early draft thread.

Bye bye Patrick Williams

[Chi town]

I like Topic running that 2nd unit

[madvillian]

Exactly why you don't trade up in this draft. I'll take my victory lap.

[ChiCitySPORTS#1]

His brother is loooooosing it. That is pretty adorable.

Imagine getting drafted by your hometown team. What a win for the family. My head would explode

[chicago paxsons]

I'm glad akme went for youth and size when it was available. It's also nice to see that buzelis is enthusiastic about playing for us.

[madvillian]

Bye bye Patrick Williams

Don't really see how this pick means much for Pat. It's vastly more likely bye bye Demar at the 4.

[League Circles]

This guy has a decent chance to be a star, which is what I wanted. Amazing physical gifts. Finally!!!

[Jo Jo English]

Great pick for OKC. Let him rehab for a year and just add him to the arsenal.

[R3AL1TY]

This doesn't seem like I'm on the correct message board. We should be disliking the pick and spreading doom and gloom lol

[MrSparkle]

Matas looks like he'll get eaten alive by NBA players.

He definitely looks like a long project to me. Atleast the 6'10 frame ought to be a size upgrade at PF.

I don't like how stiff our roster is right now. Bad combo with the poor shooting. It's gonna take a while for these players to pan (if they pan out).

We've got 1 player who can barely penetrate an NBA defense (Coby.. unless Zach stays), so I'd definitely say we still have a ballhandling/athleticism problem.

[burlydee]

I'm not a Matas guy but I hope I'm wrong. The g league ignite is impossible to evaluate. The best thing is this isn't a win now pick. Hopefully the Bulls are building something.

Matas, Giddey, Coby, Ayo, P Will, Dalen, Phillips - the start of a roster turnover. Now let's trade Vuc.

[League Circles]

What a dream for Buzelis to play for the Bulls at this age. Like for Rose. Amazing.

hard to be upset getting a high upset guy at 11. even if he doesn't pan out, on paper it was the right move.

[MGB8]

Dunno what I think about the pick. Seems like a more athletic but significantly more raw Deni Avdija type. A lot of projection on him developing - one of the many boom/bust prospects (with a significant mid-range).

It was pretty moving honestly. I'm for once happy with a draft. I wonder if we're done for the night or if we've got anything up our sleeves.
