The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

[#1 pick]

Bruh how exactly is Young going to get his shot off? The craft he has isn't some crazy shyt and the athleticism is putrid. I try to stay away from that bust shyt before the 3 year mark but I need to at least see an end game for some of these cats. I don't see it with dude.

His off ball game gonna have to be on fleek

 

[#1 pick]

whats wrong with Mitchell Robinson? who's advising him?

Promise. My guess - Clippers

Jerry West ish

Porter's wingspan

TRex arms

 

[trick]

Bates-Diop making some money with that wingspan. He’s gonna make noise as a rookie I think. Gets buckets

My brehs Jevon Carter and Konate measuring solid. JC a bit shorter but wingspan is ok. Konate long but got small hands. Gonna hurt him if teams think he can be a rim runner

Yep, he's gonna get some real interest as a small-ball 4 now

Porter's wingspan

TRex arms

6’10 with 7 foot wingspan is trex arms ?

my biggest takeaway is that zhaire smith (despite his wingspan) is quite shorter than expected + has small hands, especially for someone who's game is more SF than SG. I've said it before, but dude is a bust waiting to happen. despite his defensive potential, he is so behind in ball skills and shooting (don't be fooled by his 3 pt %, he only shot 40 total 3's all year) for someone projected to go so high. rawle alkins is also shorter than he appears while trier s slightly taller than i expected. jaylen hands is tiny as are trae young, devonte graham, aaron holiday, and sexton although sexton and holiday have some length relative to their height. Svi gets the T-rex award w/ a super short wingspan for his height. melvin frazier is long as fukk (pause)

Draft twitter is searching for a Donovan Mitchell guy and projecting that on Zhaire.

Maybe hes just sayn that cuz his team is in the playoffs rn and doesnt wana take anything away from that

That is the case. You don’t see college players talking about the draft or the NBA while their team is in the tourney. Bogey did the same thing last year before he came over.

Plus, no way he’s passing on the salary of a #1 or 2 pick.

Zhaire can't dribble I don't mind the small hands stuff but dude is more Terrance Ferguson than anything else

Everything about dude screams Justin Anderson. Fluke ass percentages based on a small sample size, no ball skills whatsoever, and overrated defense. Hard pass until the mid 20s for me.

Troy Brown is one of my favorites on here, might take him over Mikal.

Exactly. T-rex is what Svi has. I was just happy to see Porter over or at 7. His standing reach solid as well

I think that guy is Miles Bridges. I am like these guys on Smith. Smaller, weaker Andre Roberson with a jumper might be his max. Not a lottery pick.

This. He got hyped by draft fans before he got mainstream recognition so he’s got everybody rooting for him. He’s not good at basketball right now.

Yeah that’s rough for him. Svi one of the deadliest shooters I’ve ever watched and he’s not a stiff but that reach gonna keep him from getting drafted. I’ll forever give dude props for having the heart to try this one

Miles is such a stiff man lol

I'm trying to be nice, but Miles reminds me so much of Stephen Graham I can't help but laugh

Both the Bridges guys seem like something you trade back from. Roll the dice on Knox - fukk it

Yall really wildin, naming scrubs of the early 2000s. OK State squad v. Elder and GT lol.

Been saying this for years and I'm saying it again:
Mikal Bridges is better than Mies Bridges. I can't stress enough how happy I am that the Kings moved up to 2 instead of being 7th. I wanted no parts of Miles Bridges or Michael Porter Jr. I don't care if we need a wing.
