Yeah Obi and Ball were my biggest red flag players, No defense bigs don't fly in 2020.

But the switching Picks was a great move I guess.

Grizzlies got a nice pickup with Tillman. He's the closest thing to a Draymond-type player. I didn't want the Kings to trade him. 8-)

Another quality selection with Cassius Winston. Certainly will play higher in the NBA than his pick number. Happy for him. A winner.

Any idea who the first senior selected in this draft was?

The nets just drafted a bonafide scrubb.

I wanted the Bulls to take him and think he'll do well on the Wizards.

There were rumors out there about him being a pretty terrible interview, it will be interesting to see how he fits with the Mav coaching staff. Carlisle will suffer no fools.

Dallas radio was saying that before the draft he was asked who he would like to see draft him and he mentioned the Mavs. He likes the international flavor of the team and thought he would fit in best there.

The final pick of the 2020 draft is older than Ben Simmons. :D

I think Obi is a huge what if.

They did ok later draft picks. I think they really didn't balls up anything.

Thats my boy you guys got there. Take real good care of that kid. The Jones family are royalty for Dukies.

No better place for Tre to land than with the Spurs. Pop is going to love his defense and his IQ on both ends. Get him with a good shooting coach and you got yourselves a nice steal there. He wont ever be an all star or anything, but him with a consistent 3pt shot, he could be a real nice starting PG.

The Plumlees are the jesters haha. Great family but Mason is the only one that didnt make you want to rip out your hair the majority of the time they were there. And none of them had the impact that Tyus had and Tre came pretty damn close, but we got Tre for 2 years.

Common, this draft is thrash, I see the Obi pick as a nice gamble, only guy after him I would pick is Tyrese Haliburton, but he is more of a complementary guard, Knicks need one hit to kickstart the rebuild, they missed a lot on recent drafts, they dont need a do it all players that complement. Even a empty stats player will do. This age **** in NBA is ridiculous, 22year guy is by no means "old", the guy has potential, he can improve his flaws, and will have a lot of reps to do it.

Obi Toppin gives me Derrick Williams vibes.

Deni Avdija and Haliburton on the board... and they picked Obi Toppin, not a good pick. He's 22 and not a good defender, how many times have we seen players like that not live up to their potential. The other two have higher ceilings, and Haliburton seemed like an easy fit for them. And then I don't know too much about Quickley but it seems like they reached for him too when there was better players still available at 23 like Desmond Bane, or Tyrell Terry

Not a good showing for the Knicks imo
