2021 Draft Thread - Part II

Barnes has a broken shot. I'm sure he'll work hard but... man, that pick has a high chance of haunting the Raptors down the road.

I guess Toronto is going full rebuild and is willing to wait for him to turn it around. I read online that he changed his form and his shot was looking better but who knows.

Imagine picking Scottie Barnes over Jalen Suggs hahahah.

Wow...well, if anyone can be given the benefit of the doubt, it's Masai.

Nah, not respecting that at all. That was insanely idiotic.

I feel a trade with the Magic for #8... nothing to base it on.. just feel like we will be moving up.

Wow!

If I am Jalen Suggs parents I am sad because Orlando is a sorry franchise. It is 1,000,000,000 miles away from Minnesota. This sucks for Suggs

Opens up what Orlando will do at 8. Guessing it is going to be a wing or big and not a guard now. Going to be a domino pick I think.

I bet we move up for Giddey. He’s a Tommy Sheppard type prospect. It makes way too much sense. Watch that 8th overall pick.

I forgot about the tax money. Yeah he definitely got paid about 20% more or maybe 35% more

This is such a radical departure from maybe the last 13 or 14 drafts except for the ones with Beal and Porter and John Wall

Damn it OKC got Giddey

Giddey to OKC at 6 per Woj.

Bouknight is overrated. Daryl Morsell shut him down in the tournament. GREAT pick for OKC.

NatP4 · Post #575 » by **NatP4** » Fri Jul 30, 2021 12:40 am

Such a good pick by OKC. He’s going to crush it in the NBA.

Thunder got a good player - interesting.

Illuminaire · Post #577 » by **Illuminaire** » Fri Jul 30, 2021 12:41 am

That was the right player to reach for, if someone was going to reach. He might bust, but he's got star potential and will be super fun to watch.

In Bouknight's defense, the entire team was keyed on him.

I don’t think there is any way we keep those picks and don’t move them for immediate help now. Thought there was a chance to move up for Giddey/Suggs.

Would love to move up and grab Davion Mitchell.
