The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

RJ barrett is playing for Canada in an exhibition game against China right now

 

[Flex Grossman]

The clips at Missouri he seemed to lack top level athleticism. Which was odd to me cause I live in Seattle and remember somebody showing me his high school highlights pulling off some crazy shyt. With his back of a 43 year old, his lack of explosiveness may be his detriment. Breh can put the ball in the basket, but being a poor Mans KD/ 6’11 Jamal Crawford isn’t too shabby . Nuggets needed a 3 in the worst way and they have a core, so if MPJ pans out they can surely be a top 5 seed in a couple years .

He played limited mins in 2 games off the back surgery. He was rusty and not fully recovered. He’ll be fine in a year.

Bagley and Giles? It’s clipped for Labbosiere and WCS

Low key thought Doncic was the ideal pick for Sacramento

I really gave WCS a chance but dude is wild inconsistent. He's a better scorer than former King, Jason Thompson, but similarly dude has minimal impact on lots of games.

Cauley Stein had one of the illest throwdowns tho

Anthony Bennett out there knockin down 3s

Easy to see why Barrett is so coveted. I've seen him before but now he's beefed up a bit and his body type and athleticism is world class. At this stage he's more athlete than player though, he reminds me a bit of Jaylen Brown at this stage. I wanna see him develop more as a ballhandler and develop a go-to spot on the floor.

Cuban of course went for the White Knight.

When the last time the MAVS drafted a white player in the 1st rd.

Neg for stupidity.

I hated Fultz last yr and everybody loved him. This year I see Zhaire turning out to be a baller and everyone thinks he's a bust. Ppl be lookin at the wrong things. Zhaire has a good bbal IQ, athletic as hell, plays tough D, good on the break, played different spots- so knows how to move around on the floor. His jumper is not broken as ppl assume. That's a very correctable shot. When he puts it together u getting a really athletic + good 2 way player.

zhaire smith is the steal of the draft imo. seen a lot of his games in college

 

[steph_harden]

He's the best of the brothers as far as offensive skills. Jrue will always be the best player of the 3 though because he's a two way player.

If Aaron was better offensively than Jrue at any point he’d be a top 10 pick. Jrue’s low key one of the best offensive guards in the league. Has a dope and wide offensive skillset...3ball, midrange, floaters. He’s got it all. I don’t see this shrimp Aaron getting to that level.

I see a lot of people saying Doncic shouldve been in Sac or ATL....but I posted on here a couple of weeks ago about how Doncic didnt want to play for certain teams. I know people say players cant control where they are drafted but they actually can. When they put that shyt out about him not playing in the league next year that was part of it. I said in the thread that there were only two teams in the top 7 that they wanted to play for and that was Dallas and Chicago. but didnt see how he was going to get to Chicago and they had been sold on Wendell Carter for a while now. I havent kept up with Doncic after that so I dont know who he actually worked out for or whatever but him and his people didnt want to go to any of those teams in the top 6 but Dallas and he wasnt going to fall any lower than that.

The rest of the dallas squad seems cool but this nikka is a clown.

Yeah he's really bulked up. His size for a guard is pretty crazy.


They're playing again on Sunday at 5. Stream should be on YouTube again.

We had a thread on him, I think he’s one of the best prospects of this decade
