The Official 2020 NBA Draft Talk Thread (11/18)

I was probably saying some crazy stuff in this thread but I know 100% Halliburton wasn’t on my radar

I’m just not seeing it with Killian Hayes. He’s heavily mocked to my Pistons. Other than his age he doesn’t seem that impressive. Even his highlight reels are meh. Not great athlete, shooter, passer and played in weak foreign league. I’d put Kira, Hampton or Anthony in same category or above. None sure fire future starters but Atleast Hampton has elite athleticism, Kira has elite speed, and Anthony has an Alpha mentality.

Hope rumors about Patrick Williams having promise from Pistons is true. Take players with highest ceilings. fukk needs when your roster is this trash

I was right about Killian atleast

Kira and Hampton aren’t any good but Cole Anthony is solid

That last sentence . Weaver done ignored need and drafted BPA and now has roster full of athletes that can’t shoot

I've been scanning through full games of Avdija over the last few weeks (FIBA, EuroLeague, IPL) and dude is legit, even more so than I initially thought.

He seemingly makes the right play on every possession, on both ends. He has an incredible understanding and level of activity off-the-ball to get himself open, identifies when to take advantage of mismatches (even in the post) and when to feed the hot-hand, runs the break like a man possessed, can interchange between a primary and secondary initiator extremely well, finishes strong, has a BBIQ well beyond his years (impressive discipline on defense, particularly in terms of verticality and knowing when to make the right rotation to provide help), and has mental toughness seeping out his skin.

Gil stop it

Gil stop it

Tommy Sheppard made a decent pick

Will Dawkins traded him for Bub Carrington and a 2029 1st rounder (while taking back Malcolm Brogdon’s expiring deal).

Might be a win win

@Gil Scott-Heroin has zero idea about talent or basketball. Wiseman is the best prospect in this draft period. He’s been NBA ready for 2 years

You are the most clueless, casual poster here.

Wiseman is ready to contribute to any team right now. He’s been ready since high school.

Maluach is being wildly undervalued

AND Braden Smith is the best 1 in college

Also every new York point guard has a Shakey jumper because of wind @tremonthustler1

Maluach is firmly in my top 7-8. I still have him ahead of Queen

Deni shooting 37% from 3 the last two seasons. Looks like he can shoot, after all. Amazing what a stable role does, isn't it?
