[2018] - DRAFT NIGHT THREAD! Currently #9, #36

For all you doubters of him:

Just saying.

Again, Mikal D is over-rated, he's long and doesn't get into a good defensive stand, your mama can dry by him although his length helps him recover. B- or B defender at best...slight build.

He's a wing player so I don't really expect him to guard those tweener type forwards like tobias harris. I see him as a 2/3 player in the nba, he should be fine.

I'm officially in the Mikal over Knox/Miles/Trae/Sexton camp.

[KnickLeDime]

If this was not the NBA draft but who could jump and reach higher...he'd be the pick.

And another team looking to use their pick to dump salary

The Milwaukee Bucks are exploring trade scenarios using the No. 17 pick to unload the contract of Matthew Dellavedova.

Dellavedova is owed $19.2 million over the final two seasons on his deal.

But the Bucks are looking to trade down and not use a deal as an outright salary dump.

The Bucks signed Dellavedova in the 2016 offseason.

to all those who didn’t want to keep cap space open to gain assets

Delly plus #17 for Lance plus #36 plus Cash

Lance's 2nd year is basically non-guaranteed. They save a ton.

I think they need a first to go back. ATL & BKN could do this since they got assets to be a dumping ground last year. I’m sure there are others but I wanted to highlight how their smart decision could pay off.

SAS on here saying he likes Knox now

the kiss of death. Basically confirms my feelings

Best team defender at the wings in a while. Synergy stats back up his elite defense, too. Far better than a “B” defender.

Best team defender...how is that calculated? I saw him get beat like a drum on drives and backed down consistently. Again, his length helps but it will get much harder in the NBA.

Sorry, the synergy stats back up his individual defense. His team defense is obvious to anyone who’s seen him play.

Why?

[KnicksManiac]

If this was not the NBA draft but who could jump and reach higher...he'd be the pick.

You're right about one thing: He won't be the pick. Not for the reason you said though. He won't be the pick because he won't be there. There's no way 8 teams pass on this guy.

Chicago is a great fit next to Lauri. Would love to see that if he doesn’t end up in NY. Or Dallas if they cannot get Luka.

His defensive stance is great. They won 2 championships with Mikal being at the front of their defense...trapping and forcing turnovers.

The threads will be golden if knox is good

Yup. I think Bamba/Porter will go #5 and #7. Don't know who will end up where, but I'm leaning Bamba #5, Porter #7.

Here's my current prediction:

1. Ayton
2. Bagley
3. Doncic
4. JJ
5. Bamba
6. Trae
7. Porter
8. Carter
9. Knox

[Grinditout]

I have a feeling of either Porter Jr or Trae drop to us, the front office will be too tempted to let them pass

[King of Canada]

Always have to turn the volume down when SAS is on. Gives me a freaking headache.

Smooke screen or Knox is really the pick?

Sounds like we're trying to make a move for Luka though.

Price is likely sky high. Next year's first+++

Just threw up...don't want either one. Porter health issue is scary...
