The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

[Poitier]

I really don't understand the hype around Michael Porter Jr.

Elite size for a combo forward.
A floor spacer who can put it on the deck.
Great rebounder.
He just has great scoring instincts and knows where to find spaces to score.

He isnt the best ballhandler as he is stiff and plays upright so I dont think you give it to him in the halfcourt and ask him to get you a bucket. Doesnt have Tatum or Jabari’s footwork.

Can’t say much about his defense since he got injured. I also have questions about his finishing ability since he isnt super bouncy though his percentages were great in AAU.

A more efficient and better rebounding Harrison Barnes? If he can play offball, he’d be an ideal 2nd option in that scenario.

This bozo is just pushing an aged narrative. They don't follow Sacramento at all.

Yeah his tweets seem off he thinks nba sources are giving him legit info lmao

 

[Bigblackted4]

Bagley and Ayton are gonna be food on defense too right away. What's your point? If Doncic can be a good team defender, I'm not gonna worry about his defense when it comes to being ISOd.

Especially if he’s 6’8 and not 6’2

Because all these American college players are facing elite competition at the NCAA level.

Name me another 19 year old doing what Doncic did in the Euroleague. How old were Cory Higgins and Sergio Rodriguez at the time? Older than 19 I'm willing to bet.

I really don't understand the hype around Michael Porter Jr.

If the Logo wants you ......

Someone breakdown Zhaire Smith for me?

Not the biggest fan of Lonnie Walker and surprised to see him projected so high. I'd rather someone like Anfernee Simons.

@tremonthustler1 no mock?

And wtf is @Malta

I posted it on Friday.

I'll update it on Thursday once the players start trickling back to school.

As for the Coli mock, Atlanta you are up.

Just heard a radio guy suggest the Suns trade for KAT.

He had the suns giving up the #1 pick, #16, a 1st next year, and Marquese Chriss.

@Redguard is that too damn much?

Chriss has very little value around the league id take that next year first off, that could very well end up a top 10 pick.

Zhaire is an amazing athlete off of one and two feet but especially off two. Decent jumper but very raw skill wise. Little feel for the game on offense. Was a really good defender and projects to even be a good guard rim weak side helper at the rim. Problem his offense next year will probably be awful.
