The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

I don't even think this matters. No one is touching for health reasons, not his interview.

I still say he goes to Chicago.


Speaking where these guys go, new mock draft shortly.

@GoddamnyamanProf @MooseMouthMthafuga pick already

Khyri Thomas

 

[tremonthustler1]

@Taadow Milwaukee is up

@Da King be ready once he picks

This.

Anyone that follows the MAVS knows that Rick Carlisle doesn't have the patience to try and develop Mo Bust game. This is why I laugh when people have the MAVS drafting him.

Rick Carlisle hate dealing with rookies in the first place. So, he definitely not going to deal with some like Mo Bust.

NBA Mock Draft round up: Mo Bamba or Jaren Jackson Jr. could be the Mavericks’ pick

Mavs Moneyball Analysis
Mo Bamba is still largely pegged as the guy for Dallas, but I simply have a hard time thinking they’ll go this route. While Bamba apparently has a great deal of upside, it’s hard to imagine the Mavericks having the patience required to molding him. They want to be in playoff contention now, and a center this raw physically means he either won’t play much, which would be terrible for his development, or he’ll play a lot and Dallas would most likely be bad. The fit doesn’t seem to reflect the facts as we know them.

Mavs Moneyball Analysis
Given the Maverick draft spot, this is the best possible outcome. Jackson has the tools to fit in the Dallas system immediately and the upside to make him one of the few bigs who could stay in the floor as basketball evolves towards needing every position to shoot and handle the rock. The concern about his fouling and playing time at MSU are overblown; college and the NBA are two different sports if we’re being honest. Jackson would be a monstrous home run with the fifth pick.

Jackson won’t be there at 5 though

Is there a thread to make the pick?

Edit.....I'm late

 

[Taadow]

@Taadow Milwaukee is up

I'll defer to @FloorGeneral as he's closer to the epicenter of Bucks activity.

 

[clouddd]

I would really like seeing miles bridges in denver if he falls to 14 @tremonthustler1

 

[Flex Grossman]

I think that’ll be the pick if he’s there. I’m not sold on him tho.

Well hopefully Mo Bust is gone before 5.

Since the Coli love him more than Jaren Jackson.

@#1 pick if bagley goes 2, who would you want at 3?

Mo Bambaclaaaat

 

[VegetasHairline]

Mohamed Bamba > Jaren Jackson Jr
Wendell Carter Jr > Jaren Jackson Jr

JJJ is so overhyped and overrated.

So I have been doing a ton of research on varying message boards and forums and social media because to be 100 I'm bored...But is it just me of does it seem like Michael Porter Jr and Chandler Hutchinson are already Chicago Bulls players? Seem's like it's a foregone conclusion that they will be picked by the Bulls barring maybe the Hawks/Grizz/Mavs picking MPJ....or someone picking Hutchinson first.

So my question is when I look at the current Bulls roster.

C:RoLO/Felico
PF:Markannen/Portis/Vonleah (RFA?)
SF:MPJ/Valentine/Hutchinson/Zipster
SG:Lavine/Holiday (UFA?)/Nwaba/Blakeney
PG:Dunn/Grant/Payne (waived?)

it seems to me that maybe the Bulls could possibly be one of the teams that looks to bring in an upgrade at Center or possibly strike a move for a PG.

@#1 pick if bagley goes 2, who would you want at 3?

Like Hawkset said, Bamba
