Legitimately the slowest perimeter player I think I’ve ever seen

Who would you prefer they draft at 4?

Maluach

Walk away from back-to-back drafts will salaun and maluach? That's nasty work, disgusting. Kon is a better pick than Maluach, and I'm no Kon fan. The answer is Tre Johnson.

If I'm the Spurs, I trade down back to 3 or 5.

I'm not high on Harper like the consensus. That and they already have Fox and Castle who play the same role. Redundancy. He isn't even a good shooter. Move back, get another asset and take Bailey, Kon or Tre. I think they will all end up better players. They are gonna screw it up once one of those guys they passed up ends up becoming a star.

Can't rebound and has a 42% 2 point % against top half comp. I don't really see how he's better than Kon despite having better measurables

I think you guys are sleeping on Maluach. Just because the block numbers aren't there doesn't mean he's an elite defender. His movement is elite for his size. He can switch on anyone. He shot more early in the season and is more than capable of hitting 3's...and he's only played organized ball for 5 years and he's the same age as cooper.

is the draft actually starting at 8 or do we have to deal with ads and other BS and it will start at 8:30?

Just read that Noa Essengue's first visit in North America after leaving his German team Ulm in the middle of the Finals, was to Toronto. So looks like Raptors will be choosing him at #9. But is not he a bad shooter? Raptors team is already full of bad shooters.

Such a Pacers move. And Spurs didn't need another second rounder.

We keep them all

The second round is like a party without partygoers, anyone can get in.

Knicks doesn’t have any picks in the first round ?

Unless they trade the pick to Houston, correct?

Teams need to stock up 2nd rounders and cash considerations

ESPNs draft coverage is bizarre to say the least.
