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

[MikelArteta]

I like Precious Achiuwa, but I think you can get someone similar like Paul Reed at #28. Reed's a year older, has the same skills and similar production and Reed's been in college for 3 years.

paul reid ain't going to be living in masai's or og spare room basement but precious will

Since there isn't really much separation between the majority of players in this draft, do you see teams trading down and receiving the same value later in the draft while also collecting extra assets?

That's up to the Knicks. They'll be the most willing to move up.

I could see some teams trading down and getting the same player that they really wanted a few picks later. If they do decide to trade up, who do you think it would be for? Hopefully they don't get hookwinked like Philly did if they do decide to move up.

Pistons with the yearly fukking to the worst section possible in the lottery per usual

They aren't standout consensus top players and blue chip prospects. All 3 have huge question marks about their long term potential.

Standout blue chip prospects aint getting traded breh

Wiseman had hype before the NCAA suspended him

Lamelo had hype outta HS

Edwards came along during the season and was gaining hype

 

[Cladyclad]

Who saying no

Minny 1st
For
Ingram

The Knicks would be gunning after LaMelo.

What they'd have to give up? Minimum 2021 first + Dallas picks + Knox

Hype doesn't equal potential though. All three of them have huge question marks about their game that can't be ignored.

 

[42 Monks]

Easy choice

They'd be moving up from 8th to 1st so Minny would likely ask for another one of their future first.

Zion had question marks about being undersized and his shooting

Question marks means nothing

The league.

The good news is that trades are gonna be rumored and reported like crazy.

Bad news is that it makes it really tough to peg where these guys are going.


I'll try to put together a mock obviously besides trades. I guess whoever is a fan of the team picking first can say who they want and we'll go from there.

obviously I’m in for Celtics
