The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

[Guile]

I'm just getting the subtext behind IT's MPJ tweets. Tough time for the kid.

I think he's out of the top 10.

The Nuggets are aggressively seeking to shed salary by trading forward Kenneth Faried, and the Hawks are willing to accommodate them for the right price, according to a person with knowledge of the NBA trade market.

The Hawks would seek draft picks, young players or both as part of a deal with the Nuggets or any other team that wants to reduce payroll. The Nuggets own the No. 14 overall pick in next week’s draft, and their expendable young players include recent draft picks Malik Beasley and Tyler Lydon.

The Hawks could easily absorb Faried’s salary under the cap while acquiring more assets for their rebuild.

Any mock draft that has the Hawks taking JJJ is trash and is getting ignored

De'Anthony Melton is going to go a lot lower than he should too, although understandable.

I had him as a lottery pick going into the season.

Shot looked much cleaner in that scrimmage which is a must.

 

[Poitier]

can’t really dribble can’t really shoot, can’t teally pass.

Ehhh this isnt really accurate

Bagley definitely has the foundation to develop in all 3 of those areas

Will he is where you roll the dice

I feel bad for teams that would draft Lonnie Walker, Aaron Holiday, Khyri Thomas in those ranges

Doncic @ 4 is robbery and if Musa, Simmons, Vanderbilt, Okobo are all projected 2nd round then you buy a pick immediately

What’s your issue with Walker, Holiday and Thomas’s?
