2022 Draft night thread

If it's true the Knicks are just pushing hard for Burnson, can't wait for them to miss out so we can give them Dlo.

Why would Brunson leave luka for the knicks mess of a franchise.

I don't see it either. But I think he's from there? And didn't they just hire his dad?

Another pick from Memphis?
Never mind. A college player from Memphis. Not a pick acquired from Memphis.

We got NY's 2023 2nd for dropping from 40-45.
Nice to see a strib beat writer actually break something for once.

Did you even click the link?

Of course.

Then I don't get you.

Moore is a long rangy defender and a facilitator who may or may not be a good C&S guy.

Bane is short with even shorter wingspan but a deadly C&S guy with long range. Not much of a defender or passer / creator.

They’re totally different players.

Ohhh so we got a future 2nd and went back to 45. Ok. I like Minott

It wasn't a style comp it was a statistical comp.

I like how active we've been as far as making trades and moving down when we clearly haven't liked what's on the board, using every inch to try and bring back a little extra value where we can.

Do wolves have 48 as well? Minott seems Mcdaniels-ish but not as good.

Great trade and Minott is really interesting. Offensively really raw but defensively has some good instincts.

Long term he might even be a Vando replacement for when his contract is up.

I've definitely heard good reports on Minott. I wonder why he only got 14 MPG.

[moss_is_1]

Minott could be special if he learns to shoot.

Yes. The Charlotte trade was for 45 and NY '23 2nd.

my draft guru Vecenie had Wolves taking Minott at #40 and Walker at #48

Kamagate would have been a nice draft and stash.

[KGdaBom]

Minott is considered an athlete that will need to develop.

[LibertyPrime]

Your newest Minnesota Timberwolf(?), Josh Minott:

[younggunsmn]

So looks like we gave Memphis our 'own 23 2nd in the trade down from 19, and got NY's '23 2nd in the trade down from 45-40.
Which is a win. Can't find anything on the 2 2nds going to Houston for the 29-26 trade up though.

[shangrila]

And Vince Williams Jr, a huge sleeper of mine, goes to Memphis a pick early. Damn.

[younggunsmn]

Give me Alondes WIliams or Montero at 48.

[shangrila]

And now 48 is gone, for more 2nds I'm guessing.
