NBA Draft 2018 6.0: Lucky #7 and 22.

I wonder if Sacramento takes Doncic if Memphis sticks it out for Bagley at #4.

So, you don't remember Georgios Papagiannis... :lol:

The NBA has gone away from the big man? Pfffft, 3 will likely be taken in the top 8. The big man returneth!

And they're all trying to prove that they can shoot the 3. Big men may still get drafted high, but the 'big man game' is gone. It's kind of sad.

Ayton seems like he could play like an old-school center if he wanted to. I hope he does.

Trae will go too 6. One of JJJ Bamba will be there

Assuming Bagley goes 2nd, then the biggest question in trading up to 3 would be, do GarPax believe in Kris Dunn or not? If they do, they will take Bamba.

WCJ will bang down low with the best of them. His footwork is top notch.

NBAdraft.net has a new mock up.

Has us taking WCJ with Bamba on the board.

I don’t think so.

Always felt Vlade would draft Doncic. Dismiss it if you will but I’m certain there’s that comfort level with him (not to mention heavy scouting/intel way before EuroLeague) with both being from the same region (Serbian/Slovenian).

That was Heisley, and yes hes now gone

He died a few years ago. Heisley wanted to bring a second team to chicago. I wish he had succeeded.

The question is what do they value more? Putting more defense on the floor or...gaining more shooting and floor spacing?

The only person I’d trade up for in this draft is Doncic.

I would be shocked if we moved up into the top 3-4. However, I wouldn't be surprised if we managed to get another pick in the top 12 or so (with the 22nd being part of the deal). We have a ton of flexibility and I think that would be well within our reach

Wendall Carter at 7. (Or Mikal Bridges)

(insert your favorite safe player from Duke, UConn, or any "winning" program) at 22. If they keep the pick.

I feel for the Bulls fans who think the Bulls do anything bold.

Griffen saying he thinks 22 will be moved for Bulls to move up

At this moment, it is literally impossible to predict anything after 1.

The Kings are a total wildcard. They SHOULD take Doncic, but Bagley fills a pressing need and they can rationalize Fox as their main ball-handler.

If the Kings go with Bagley, then the Hawks will take Doncic. He's BPA and fits their most pressing need as well. Although, it's possible they take him with the intentions of trading with another team like Dallas or Orlando.

If the Hawks do take Doncic, then the Grizzlies either draft Porter or also possibly trades down as well.

You can see how the dominos can fall in so many different directions by the time pick 7 rolls around.

Dragic carried that team. Then burned himself out Luka carried the rest of the way
