I think I don’t mind Fernando.

Cool first name and sweet hair.

Hate the idea of drafting a center, unless he can impact the game like Embiid or Jokic it’s a wasted pick.

Bruno at 12 seems like a crazy reach.

ESPN has him going 34 and on the Ringer Kevin O'Connor has him at 37, Tjarks has him at 30, and Chau has him at 24

Yeah if we can grab him at 36 sure, but not at 12.

What size shoe does he wear?

Anything over a size 17 and I think we should seriously consider him.

Cool first name? Check.
Cool hair? Check.
Big feet?

If that last one is a check he should be a lock.

Ok seriously though, what the hell is up with all these names?

We're getting to the point to where people just pick out 6 letters from a scrabble bag and make something up.

Starting to read like the Key and Peele East-West game

Uh...It’s an African name.

Really?

"Mfioundu" really screams Germanic to me

So then what was the point of your comment? If you really knew that it was an African name then your “joke” makes zero sense because it would not be applicable.

Don't worry about it man, it went over your head

You were making fun of an African name because it was different from names you're used to. I think he got it.

And yes I've seen the skit you're referencing.

I don't mind Bruno but I would rather Kabengele because I think he is the only center that can play both PF and CENTER in this draft.

[Snidely FC]

Not sure why you would take Bruno over Goga at 12. Bruno's skillset - rebounding, rim protection, rudimentary offense - is fungible. You can find a Center who does those things later in the draft. (Givony at E+, for instance, has Bruno going #34, and CHA taking C Daniel Gafford at #36) Goga brings value-added, stretch 3s, screening, passing, pick-n-pop, you know, an actual offensive skillset that is not fungible among bigs, especially not 19 year old bigs.

Dallas Mavericks standout Luka Doncic had his record for best PER by a teenager in EuroLeague history broken by Goga Bitadze. Bitadze has declared for the 2019 NBA Draft in June and is someone to watch.

Also no, but I appreciate the white knight effort.

I had no idea it was of African descent and it really doesn't matter.

You look at the mocks and the names in general read a lot like the east west game, this guy included.

Zion
Ja Morant
Sekou Doumbouya
Bol Bol
Goga Bitadze
Bruno Fernando
Rui Hachimura
KZ Okpala
Mfiondu Kabengele
Talen Horton-Tucker
Chuma Okeke
Matisse Thybulle

Just seems like this year more than usual has a ton of non standard names. That's it. I can't **** believe there's been multiple comments on it. Joke ruiners and wet blankets.

I have seen the skit and it is very funny. But when you include foreign names, the joke did not make sense. If the guys name was Loquacious Montravius Curtis-Travers then the joke would apply.

[yosemiteben]

Right. Pointing at foreign guys and going "what's up with all these 'non standard' names" is pretty weak sauce if you were going for a joke and not in the same vein as the skit.

Why has this thread devolved into a dumb argument about a dumb joke? Man this board has seen better days.

I’m sold; if Goga is there at 12 for Charlotte he is my pick for the Hornets. He just has so much upside and he just broke Lucas Euroleague record for something.
