The Official 2017 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Lol @ Rock getting in the photo.

I'm sorry but that does not look like the core of a championship team. Embiid is way too goofy. Simmons looks like He has no swag. Fultz looks like he never wants to be anywhere.

Milwaukee's core of Giannis and Thon Maker look like superstars. They will run the East.

But Steph Curry, KD, Draymond, Klay just won a chip

You said the same thing about Zach LaVine and have looked stupid since his rookie year.

Isaac is the player the Wolves need to make it into the playoffs next year.

I said WAYYYY more than that.


And regardless of my opinion of Isaac or anyone in this draft (for I haven't commented much on that situation at all), I'll reinforce my statement on them:

If Isaac, Fultz, Ball, you, whoever it is they choose, plays a meaningful role in their rotation next season, their offseason was a failure.

The Celtics reportedly like Jackson at No. 3 but they have been unsuccessful in securing a meeting with him.

Fultz canceled his second workout with the Celtics in order to meet with both the 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers.

There was a report in May suggesting top prospects could attempt to avoid being drafted by the Celtics due to playing time concerns.

“As of right now, we have not seen him,” Ainge said about Jackson. “We’re trying to get to see him and Lonzo Ball, two guys we haven’t seen that we’d like to see, and so far they’ve chosen not to come in.”

Ainge declined to comment on the reported trade talks with the 76ers.

“I can’t participate in not keeping my word of keeping conversations with other teams private,” he said.


no one wants to go to Boston

@tremonthustler1 who is your guy this year? There's always that 1 player that you want that they don't draft and then he turns out to be pretty good (Ibaka, Jae Crowder, Giannis).

I'll repeat what I said: I don't care who they pick as long as he doesn't play much at all next year.

With that said, I think they're taking Markkanen. I guess Zach Collins would fit the description of what you're asking though. My only reaction to it is just resignation.

Spurs pick can be made by whoever wants it (provided you haven't picked already),

But @AAKing23 would your #1 pick be Fultz?

When are you dropping the final mock?

I meant who are the guys you like, regardless of whether or not your squad picks them. I'm assuming it was Kaba before he pulled out the draft.
