2020 Draft Thread, Part 2

I think they are just covering their asses at this point

So the original 'leak' was definitely real and the follow up 'leak' was a PR cover up job?

Do you take into account the reputability of the two sources? Shelburne, a reporter, vs. Jalen Rose, a personality?

I think where there's smoke there's fire. I've said this before, the Warriors FO does certain things well, but they would really really benefit from shutting the hell up and not leaking ****. They are leakier than the Titanic after it hit the damn iceberg. And these leaks do not help them.

Thanks for explaining, I find this stuff interesting. You're entitled to that opinion. I think you're wrong, but I can see how you got there.

Still mad we didn't jump back into the end of the 1st (it was only taking a couple future 2nds) to get Bane. He'd be a perfect backup wing that can knock down shots and be solid enough at everything else.

I'd try to offer Paschall and a future 2nd for him right now.

[marthafokker]

Lavar and his mouth is yapping again. MJ is going to have fun keeping LaMelo in Hornets jersey in a few years.

[whatisacenter]

Lamelo out for the remainder of the year with a fractured wrist...

[sonnyhill]

How about this for believing in the draft? The Oklahoma City Thunder currently own 17 future first round draft picks!

Never mind Lamelo, we should have taken Moses Brown!

Was a fan of his early on, but didn't think he would stick around in the NBA.

Bane is a dime a dozen.

Means they have a bunch of late picks they’ll likely sell for more late picks or seconds or cash. Should def move if the price is right. But we’re young as is. Unless there’s someone we absolutely love we need to get some vets.

Just because the cost is cheap doesnt mean we still dont need that type of player

I totally understand the dime a dozen thought, I mean we have TWO of this type of player right now in Lee and Baze. Bane seems to project to being and even better version of that type of role playing wing shooter though. He's basically doing what they do only shooting it even better from 3.

But I think we'd all agree that while there are alot of players like that, you absolutely need a couple on your team if you want to be good. We would be a disaster without those two players and Poole shooting near 40% from 3.

Wasn’t talking about price, but more about type of player. We could find a similar player in the draft or free agency.

One day we will laugh because we drafted a teenager who played 3 college games.

[TB]

Okongwu battled some injuries and playing time issues, but his per possession and advanced numbers are starting to look great. A lot of people had him over Wiseman because of what todays bigs need to be able to do, and he's sort of showing it... Low usage on offense but super efficient when needed, defends multiple levels, plays with energy. We saw his switchability vs the Dubs, guarding the perimeter very well.

I know its beating a dead horse, but a trade back for Haliburton or Okongwu just made way too much sense in terms of getting a good fit while also adding an extra player.

Too bad nobody was willing to give up anything decent to move up.

We’re going to look back at this draft and most likely be mind boggled that we drafted a guy who played 3 college games and didn’t show any skills over proven guys.

I think we wanted a player that we could use as trade bait or be serviceable for us in the event there were no good offers. The most tradeable players in the draft were Edwards, Lamelo, and Wiseman. I think that's why we didn't trade the #2 pick to the Bulls for the #4 pick + Wendell Carter because we wanted one of the top 3 guys.

[TB]

I wanted to do that Wendell Carter trade so badly, and then move the 4 with the TPE back to the magic for Gordon. Draft Poku.
