2021 NBA Draft Thread

Just to clarify before I get lumped into the HATE Bouknight or LOVE Bouknight camp over the next 4 years - I don't love or hate him. I have concerns about his size and his college stats. I would have preferred another player (or three). I will root as hard as I can for him to succeed.

Allow me to reiterate what I stated earlier.

We don't know if OKC was even offering their picks to move up

Oh I'm over that, I was just commenting on the absurd volume of picks OKC has. Why tf are they trading for more picks?

They'll probably offer an unbelievable trade for whoever the next big star available is. There is 0% they keep even half of those picks.

It’s going to be fascinating to see how he does. I think he’ll be pretty good. I know you felt otherwise. Now I hope you were right lol

Found out today Draft Express hasn't been updated since 2017 I believe. Don't have a ton to contribute. Watched as much Lamelo as I could last year, which was easier to do in Mexico than Raleigh.

Hearing the Kings haven't been in the playoffs in 15 years made me feel really old.

We are a franchise headed in the right direction

Next year we better draft Jordan Hall

Now, my hope is Sims is there at 37.

My man. Like this guy. Like him in NO.

UNCNYC · Post #1228 » by **UNCNYC** » Fri Jul 30, 2021 1:55 am

Lamelo / someone from summer league
Rozier / Bouknight
Hayward / Hall
Miles / MdCaniels
Sims / Sandro

Not too shabby

Really hoping for Sims at 37 at this point.

This guy is wired for winning. Check out his story. His dad made him learn good, hard life lessons. The others he had to learn on the courts in Brooklyn. Believe he will be a great pairing with LaMelo.

Its gonna be the Kemba situation all over again. People will crap on him for not shooting 47+% from the field in his rookie year, and insist he is the next Smush Parker and once he starts looking like a allstar by his 3rd or 4th they will insist they were always on his side.
