Re: 2021 NBA Draft Thread
The pick sort of makes sense. I’m still gonna wait until after 18 to start watching scouting reports. I’m unconvinced he won’t be traded.

The international talent is too much. How about a guy from Arkansas…hint, hint.

Re: 2021 NBA Draft Thread
We better trade up for Bouknight. But I'm sure Orlando's gonna take him. Hell of a draft for them.

Re: 2021 NBA Draft Thread
If you thought Presti wasn't going to reach with his picks, you haven't been paying attention to how he drafts. He basically never takes the consensus BPA.

With Suggs falling to five, I’m disappointed but let’s not act like we won’t all be shickled titless if Giddey looks good early.
Orlando having 8 as well makes trade offer for them really hard .

Can't blame Presti for any of the top 5. Time will tell about Giddey.

Re: 2021 NBA Draft Thread
A reach, yes, but as deep as this draft class is and as many picks as they have they can afford to swing on a player like this. Still not convinced that they didn’t make this pick for someone else though.

Re: 2021 NBA Draft Thread
Presti needs to be offering 16 and 18 for 9 right this instant

I'm higher than most here on Giddey but just skeptical about his fit with SGA and also very young so...timeline with SGA gonna be a bigger problem

We didn’t trade SGA . I consider that a win.

Re: 2021 NBA Draft Thread
Giddey isnt a reach. 
MEM was absolutley taking him 10. GSW was interested in him at 7. Numerous websites had him Top-10 on their BB.
The greatest trick the devil every played was convincing casual draft junkies that Bouknight was anything but a poor mans Clarkson. He isnt anything special.
