2021 Draft Thread

[FNQ]

Just makes you wonder where that leaves Wiseman, and why we even drafted Wiseman when the league has transformed to a more perimeter game?

It has become one of the more head-scratching decisions we've made. If he was a great player off the bat, I guess its ok that his fit in our system is wonky. If he fit our system, it would be OK that he was extremely raw. But he's extremely raw and a wonky fit.. dont love that.

Top of the draft is where you cant miss and is a whole different evaluation ballgame than late 1st/bought 2nds.. everything you do has to have purpose and clear reason, and the JW selection just didnt have that. There was a lot of guesswork there. It was a risk we shouldnt have taken. Which is why I'm scared we will take a guy like Barnes

I still can't decide if I like Keon Johnson or not.

Thoughts on him?

Ha, I really struggled with him and Moody. They are polar opposites of each other and I eventually put Keon one spot ahead of him. I really like his defense and he is an electric athlete. IF a team can get his shooting % up he will be a great player IMO. Moody has good size and is a great catch and shoot player but doesn't really provide much else. Bouknight was another player that I struggled with and I don't even have him in my top 15 at the moment but I have a feeling I will be making a ton of adjustments before the draft.

Its just me, but I dont like either. Bouknight and Duerte (14ish) Im higher on than the mentioned

Yeah, Duerte does a lot of things on offense that would look good on the Warriors but I worry about his on ball defense in the NBA. I am probably dinging him for his age as well.

His age? Im worried about his passing, lol. Its like Ben Sommons' shooting, lol

It would be a shame if “Trey Murphy III” couldn’t shoot threes (he can).

There would be a nice symmetry for this team’s history if it had both Troy and Trey Murphy.

RaiQuan Gray really interesting

I'm not sold on Keon, Duerte, or Bouknight.

What shooting guard do you like that isnt named Cade or Jalen Green?

[mos_def]

How you guys feeling with 22 hours left until lottery?

[mos_def]

Serious question, where would you rank Ben Simmons in your BPA list in this years draft. I wanted to gauge what you would be willing to trade draft pick wise with the lottery tomorrow

I'm feeling amazing, thank you very much.

[azwfan]

I'm good with a lot of these guys mentioned in a trade down scenario. I really want to trade down from 14 to the 20's and get a future 1st or a rotation vet. Then in the 20's I'm fine with old man Duerte or really a lot of these guys.

I’m feeling pretty good and I look forward to not going to tankathon and hitting the simulator every day!

Not really a great draft at SG, several PGs can play SG too so I'll include them. If that was a position I had to fill I'd go for:

Cade
Green
Suggs
Moody
Keon
Mann
Bouknight
Thomas
Kispert

But again, it really falls off fast after the first few.

I'd trade 14 for him, don't think I'd trade the Minny pick for him regardless of where it falls.

I like Mann. Not Moody or Keon so much. If we got Barnes and Keon on a fall, thats pure development picks

[Mob Byers]

Is Josh Christopher just Jordan Poole?

Looks like more of a PG than JP and potential to be better on D.

Can't wait for the lotto tonight!!!!!!!!!!

[GSWFan1994]

Just woke up with a great feeling today.

The birds were singing and my dog smiled at me.
