The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

[funkee]

Teams don't value workouts/combine as much as raw film. If that were the case Grayson would have moved up into the lottery damn near.

If I was betting on that I think he will move up into the late teens early 20s

grayson will surprise people w/ how high he may end up going. other than just the combine, he's killed the CAA pro day and other private workouts against good comp. He could move up into the teens with milwaukee, SA, or ATL at 17, 18, or 19. wolves at 20 is possible, and if utah did not promise huerter at 21 (highly unlikely IMO) then I think they're his bottom. But if he somehow falls past them, then someone from LAL, philly, boston, or golden state will scoop him up. jerome robinson is another sleeper pick to go in this range. rawle alkins has supposedly looked good defensively and could be a darkhorse first rounder. Too many good guards/wings to choose from, it'll be really interesting to see who falls out of the first.

Sacramento did that and wound up with Stauskas. Sometimes you need to be saved from yourself.

That wasn't on Sacramento, that was on Vitek. That was stupid as fukk. I had numerous people tell me that they wanted Payton. Looking back at it now, that draft was some shyt. But Vitek felt that Nik would be another Klay. Most of the scouts disagreed.

Suns have plenty of assets

to move up that high?

 

[funkee]

these analysts are so flip-floppy w/ supposed insider knowledge. Woo has long been saying/swearing that it's Utah that promised huerter at 21 and now all of a sudden it's LAL. I've been said that utah would not promise anyone, especially not after huerter canceled his workout with them after the LAL workout.

Exactly, he got hurt. Not promised.

Whoever the kings draft there will be backlash...

Bagley (not 6'11(peja was taller than him, shooting stroke62% at the line nh,defense)
Luka (athletic ability vs nba length..improve form)
MPJ( his back/ his handles)

Agreed.

For Atlanta, it's the same. We need the best player in the draft who is going to be a superstar. If you don't have that in you to work and fight for that, then we can't draft you

They don't. That Miami asset isn't that meaningful till the summer after FA for that year leading to that. The Milwaukee pick is trash. The 16th isn't that valuable and the 31st isn't valuable if we are talking lottery pick in this draft. It's going to be hard to move into the top 10 in this draft. Likely impossible.

to move up that high?

The 16 pick, the 30 pick, Heat unprotected pick next year, our own #1 next year, another Heat in 2021, Chriss, Bender, TJ Warren, Chandler's expiring contract, Dudley's expiring contract, a bunch of other pieces not named Booker or Jackson

I expect the Suns to be very active

Most of them young players mention are busts or soon to be joining Alex Len busts. Warren really ain't worth that contract. The expiring contracts only hold so much value. Teams willing to trade for them will offer late 1sts and bad contracts and shyt. He really don't add that type of value. He's more like Eric Gordon without the playmaking value. He's overpaid like Dennis.

The Heat 2020 unprotected is the best asset and it's not worth anything right now until after 2019 FA. None of these pieces look good to a team in the top 10 outside of maybe the Knicks who aren't trying to move down.

You guys have some assets but like tremont said, it's not good enough to move into the top 10 in this draft class good.

Lol TJ Warren is a 20 ppg scorer on an extremely reasonable contract. Chriss and Bender arent old enough to drink yet. Suns own pick will likely be another high lottery next year, that and 16 alone are worth moving up a few spots. You dont know what youre talking about.

He's a volume scorer on decent efficiency who can't create for others or shoot from deep. He might be the least valuable player and only got that contract because he's on the Suns. Truthfully, he's on Rodney Hood's level but on a bad team where he can

He been posting on the Suns RealGM, them dudes are stupid as fukk on that site.

OK. Now find the team picking high disenchanted enough to inherit all of that

He can't. Like I said, he's been on the Suns realgm page. Them fools really thinking their assets on some Danny Ainge shyt.
