The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

[Morethan1]

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.

I think we will take on salary and add another lottery pick (maybe Denver) taken on either Kenneth or Chandler salary. Develop the young get another high draft pick next off season and have space to make a move on 2019 free agents.

Like Hawkset said, Bamba

I wouldn’t be against Sacramento drafting Bamba 2nd.

i wouldn't be surprised if allen snuck up into that 22 spot along with MPJ at 7

Grayson Allen?

He must be one hell of an interview if he gets up to 22.

he's sneakily been rising since combine and his CAA pro day and interviews have also been a big reason. top 3 shooter in this draft IMO.



2018 NBA Draft: Rip Hamilton says Duke's Grayson Allen could 'sneak up' and be a top-15 pick

he, huerter, and divincenzo are gonna potentially knock guys like milton, frazier, evans, trent, and okogie out of the first round

I got most of those guys already out of the first right now anyway.

We thinking this shyt all smokescreen to get MPJ or? Seems like a lot of talk about how his stock is falling on the heels of this visit. Obviously that could mean it’s just true but it seems like a lot of talk on this

 

[Bigblackted4]

Jackson won’t be there at 5 though

I disagree, I think he and Bamba end up there at 5, MPJ or Young will go in the top 4 watch one of these teams fall in love with potential.

 

[Bigblackted4]

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

JJJ is so overhyped and overrated.

We be on the same page on a lot of this draft shyt, I agree with this I watch big 10 b-ball and never got the hype of Jaren as a top 5 pick.

If Orlando takes Carter, neither will be there.

It comes down to what Orlando is thinking. If they don't pick a PG at 6, then they're gonna go out and overpay for Isaiah Thomas in free agency or something

See young as a possibility for them if he’s there? Neither Bridges are worth a top 10 pick to a rebuilding team imo.

For Orlando? As far as I'm concerned, it's either Young, Sexton, reach for SGA even, or draft one of these centers (but if they do, Vucci better be off the team before free agency)

Honestly, Shai Gilgeous Alexander is the most John Hammond-y pick Orlando could make. He's big on having length everywhere.

Nah Chicago. I’d guess Young ends up in Orlando but if they go big it seems likely that he’ll be there for Chicago’s pick.

If I were Dunn and LaVine I'd be insulted if they went with a guard. They made that trade with the belief that they have 3 locked up starters. Why opt for a PG? Are they gonna con them into thinking LaVine can play the small ball 3?
