I liked him more after his freshman year, but the guy can shoot the ball. However, he's not a point guard. That's what we learned these last two years at Duke. He's basically Landry Shamet and if he shoots better than that, maybe he can get to Wayne Ellington's level. Still a pretty young guy as well.
Will be much cheaper than what Merrill and Jerome get in a week for sure though.

Good luck to Diawara at the Knicks, don't think he will be a popular pick with Knicks fans though. They have been burnt by French draftees in the past

Slept through the first hour and fifteen minutes. Not sure why they don't just start the draft at 6pm on Wednesday. The ratings for this has to be horrific.

His countryman Dadiet is there, so at least he'll have someone around to speak French too. I know nothing about this guy.

Toohey could very well end up playing in the NBA. If the Knicks wanted to pick an overseas guy they should have drafted him instead of Diawarra.

I trust their scouts who have been great at finding late draft gems


The same front office that drafted JHS?

Their scouting department hasn’t made a “hit” in a long time. And they just picked a SF who can’t shoot.

Luka may be packing his bags again…


Max Christie and Austin Reaves aren't considered recent?

Basically the NBA has become USA, Canada, France, Australia and Eastern Europe (Serbia, Croatia, Lithuania).

Let's go Toohey. Hoping he has success at the next level. Will be interesting.

I actually enjoy the second round coverage while I hated the first round. I wonder what changed

Ok ESPN. You miss another pick and then come back to announce the following pick and then straight to more ads. I'm out. Hoping Lachie Olbrich gets selected.
