IS THE NBA DRAFT DEAD?

[GatorStaceyAdams]

Honestly did not know the draft was tonight.

Is it always held mid-week?

 

[Big Boss]

this class is just very underwhelming

What about Bronny

 

[feelosofer]

This draft in particular is pretty weak. You don't have a can't miss guy. The teams will have to done their homework to pick the right guy.

I didn't know the draft was tonight until 2 hours ago.

Me too, until I saw ESPN's First Take talk about the NBA draft tonight shyt had me tonight?

 

[GilSho]

well it's a shytty draft, what do you expect?

Add to the fact that there aren't many college superstars left and you got teams in the future hoarding most of the picks and you have this.

now @Houston911 has to watch a parade of Euros get drafted high, but it's the tradeoff he has to live with.

The last male College basketball superstar was Zion, 5 years ago.

How many in the 5 years prior to that?

Newport Maine legend Cooper Flagg will bring interest to the draft again

Last year’s draft was one of the most hyped and talked about in years all because of Wemby. In fact, it was the most watched draft ever.

The star power at the top carries the draft interest for casual fans. So no, it is not “dead.”

Have you ever considered that you're just a moron why do people never take personal accountability in these kinds of situations lol

 

[Big Blue]

If the Lakers really draft Bronny

 

[mozichrome]

everything is dying or dead according to you dudes.

 

[Jplaya2023]

Very much so. The college game is so ass that no one cares anymore

 

[Kaydigi]

I’m here for the trades so I can fix my 2k roster

 

[Methodical]

The Lakers def gonna draft Bronny if they wanna keep Bron happy all the Lakers care about tickets/sell at this point now. They don't want to lose Bron if Bron decides to opti-out

 

[Serious]

This year, yeah.

Next two drafts can be outright special though: Koa, Flagg, AJ, Arenas, Boozer, Arenas, etc.

A lot of pro athletes' kids going to start to show up.

Nets straight cleared the deck to tank hard next season. @No Homo @AJtheOne

5 years from now when this draft has produced 4 all nba players and 8 all stars people will be like "was this the greatest draft ever"

I'm still trying to figure out how people came to the conclusion this draft isn't good.

If anybody in this draft plays 300 nba games that damn near automatically makes them better than Zion
