The Official 2017 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Breh you already drafted Kuzma @ 24.

Check the OP to see who is available.

I knew I was going to draft someone with Utah affiliation

If Ainge wants Tatum that bad, then he can trade down and get him at #6. Call Orlando and see if they'll take a package centered around #3 and 37 in exchange for 6 and Vucci Mane.

Tatum wouldn't make it past the Suns and his floor is the kings.

 

[Derek Lee]

I guess. I rather play in Phoenix if that was an option. I believe the Kings curse is real. He's fortunate that Boogie isn't on the team anymore, he'd lose his love for the game

 

[Swagnificent]

He's not

He's right there with Lonzo Ball at the very top. 1A and 1B imo.

I think it's a toss up between him and Ball for top player in this draft.

No one else is close to their level.

Tatum is an undersized 4 in my eyes. Not a good look for Boston.

I don't like Josh there either though.

Tatum is an elite 2-way SF like Paul George.

He's no 4.

 

[Swagnificent]

Not sure if tatum is the best player in the draft, especially wjth his jumper (form).

I can see celtics playing small ball and putting tatum at pf tho

He's right there with Lonzo Ball as the top prospect in this draft. I flip back n forth each day on whose the actual top player.

Both guys should be perenial all-stars in the NBA.

I don't agree with that. His game at the moment would be best suited for playing the 4.

I'm going to assume you're joking.

Nope. I've been consistent on this point for several months. This draft is all about Lonzo Ball and Jayson Tatum. They are the only surefire stars. Everyone else is most likely to be a solid starter or role player.

 

[Swagnificent]

I been saying this Markelle Fultz hype made no sense. Good to see the Celtics making the right choice and letting Philly make the stupid decision of drafting him 1st overall.

The idea Markelle Fultz was explosive was always laughable to me. Dude is Eric Gordon 2.0 as an athlete.

Lonzo Ball is significantly more explosive.

Oh well to each his own I guess

Apparently Isaac's workout with the suns was phenomenal.

That's a nice fit for them if Tatum goes 3rd overall.

Also now it looks like Josh Jackson might fall to 6th overall in the draft.

1. Sixers - Markelle Fultz
2. Lakers - Lonzo Ball
3. Celtics - Jayson Tatum
4. Suns - Jonathan Isaac
5. Kings - De'Aaron Fox
6. Magic - Josh Jackson
