2018 NBA Draft Talk

They’re thinking about the future and having a good overall roster. We aren’t winning anything in 2019. No point in trying to fill an immediate need in that situation. You take the guys you think will have a role on your team in a couple of years.

So we're... reaching for yet another no-defense guard who we could have traded down for? How does that help us in the future?

I didn't want Lonnie at all, but would've taken him over Jerome.

Dude we should have taken Lonnie Walker!

We have what 7 guards on the roster now??

If we're looking towards the future you don't take a 21 scoring only guard. You take a Lonnie walker or a Troy Brown

I would've taken Robert Williams over Robinson as well...smdh.

Bradley and Milos are probably gone. So is Ty Wallace. Ugh.

I think MPJ is Evan Turner 2.0 with a bad back.

would've taken williams and walker and brown and so many guys over robinson lol.

here's hoping he is this year's DM though.

Yea i feel the Clippers war room really screwed up here. Giving up alot of value to move up 1 spot and then reaching hardcore for someone that was mocked to go late.

If Clips had taken MPJ and he busted, at least it'd be forgivable. At #13 its a great time to go for a homerun swing, it's not as devesatating as whiffing 1-5. It's not like they need MPJ to give immediate impact either, so redshirting him a year isnt a big deal.

Ugh, i wonder who was calling the shots here... i have a hard time thinking these are Doc picks, these guys are gonna be fighting Austin for PT and he's in a contract year again.

you guys don't think this could possibly be a part of a bigger trade? I mean, Jerome Robinson matter at hand is my topic.

No way Mikal Bridges falls past Philly.

I thought so too, but the Sixers may trade that pick based on reports and they've also been tied to Zhaire Smith as well.

That 2021 first is unprotected and in the first year that one and done by me over with, so it should be deep.

What is Phoenix thinking?

I really hope Clippers were so focused on getting SGA bc they made a deal with a team who wanted him and Jarome...
I'm happy with SGA playing with us. But I'd rather trade both of them for someone amazing than to keep Jarome. WOW
He was the only prospect I didn't want

What do you predict the Clippers will do on Draft Night? (vote for up to 2 options)
