2022 NBA Draft Part II

[azcatz11]

That is not the pick I would've gone with...

I kind of like it for you guys. I wonder if he can play right away or will need a few years. Not sure how he fits the defensive scheme tho

The team who drafts Keels automatically wins the draft right now.

Lotto talent still on the board.

Keels has a solid argument to go over Griffin, def over Moore.

Im actually kind of surprised they didn't go with Liddell. I personally would've gone with Liddell, Brown, or Hardy before PBJ. I didn't think he was touchable in the 1st after how horrible his athletic testing was. But ya if it works out, they're going to look unbelievably smart.

[SelfishPlayer]

The Warriors drafted a total bust in Wiseman. They aren't perfect.

[clyde21]

This is the ultimate thinking youre the smartest person in the room. They're either going to look like geniuses with this pick, or look stupid because he wasn't anywhere close to a 1st round pick

this - def not the direction I would've gone, but I guess i get it on some level as a home run shot. but dude tested so bad that I am not even sure that upside even exists.

What's his argument for either one of those guys? Moore is better at ever aspect of the game, while being bigger and more athletic. AJ is the far superior shooter and plays his role much better than Keels.

Keels lived off of the opening night game hype for the entire year. Even his defense wasn't all that once conference play came around.

If Keels is drafted, I think he made a smart move leaving now.

Maybe he will be like a “slow mo” clone - dude from UCLA I can’t think of his name. Without the play making but a great shot.

Yup. I thought once the testing came out, there was no shot of PBJ going first round. A horrific seasons followed up by horrific testing.

This just to me seems like a super cocky pick. But hey if there is a team that can put him in a very easy role, and on a team where he gets to practice his shooting with the best, it is the Warriors.

drafting baldwin over liddell hahahaha

Keels lived off of the opening night game hype for the entire year. Even his defense wasn't all that once conference play came around.

Super young, really good signals in 2.2 ATO for a 18 year old in ACC, shared play making duty being really the 4th option pounding the ball after Roach/Moore/Paolo and still put up stats, solid defender due to his size and has good awareness (steal rate), very solid driver and finisher.

His minus is his shooting percentage, but his shot has excellent form. He was one of the fattest players and this made his combine numbers suck, but a 18 year old with some baby fat is not a huge deal.

His size and skill is a rare combination for a guard. A better body in 1-2 years presumably makes him quicker on defense. Duren gets the benefit of the doubt for being young, while Keels does not while playing just as well in a tougher conference on a better team. And to add, he has quite a few signature games like 27 against Pitt, 25 against Kentucky (while abusing on TyTy on both ends), 25 against Clemson, 19 in his final game against UNC.

AJ presumably has lost a step and some mild medical concerns and is one of the worst defenders in college (and best in shooting).

Moore despite being youngish has 3 years of college experience.

There has to be some kind of red flag with Hardy, right?

Why does no one want Liddell??? Houstan is such a bum he’s not even good enough for Europe imo

[jman3134]

Why do players even play their freshman season? If you stink, NBA teams just go completely back to your high school tape. I can see if you did that for a BJ Boston, but some of these guys....

[K_chile22]

Houston is going to be a fun team to watch I hope these dudes all get along since they’re so young. Need a few more vets to guide them along I think. I hope they keep wall and he accepts a 6th man role or something.

that's why they haven't sent EG anywhere despite interest from other teams. Great vet

[Big J]

Baldwin has a great pedigree. Could be like Zaire Williams where he just sucked ass in college ball. At this point I trust whatever move Bob makes will turn to gold.

[tmorgan]

Just give us this W. This was Detroit’s week.

Houston wins this draft by a wide margin
