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

[CarltonJunior]

Im on the bandwagon for my Bulls ... even at #4 which is higher than ive heard him talked about....he doesn't have the dribbling and shooting concerns of Hayes ... he doesn't have the erratic concerns of Melo... he doesn't have the shot creation issues of Halli ... Him White Lavine would be a terror on the fast break and he put that work in to bulk up 15 pounds ... if he just refines his decision making he can be a solid player

Nah man. I don't see it.

I'll go check out more film on him since I only saw an overview video on him but I see Jerian Grant written all over him. We need to be taking BPA, we should be looking for potential all-stars.

 

[#1 pick]

I still don't know why everyone hates Daniel Oturu now. Someone's gonna get a steal in the 2nd round

Who hates Oturu?

Why would a 6’10 guy who can shoot last into the second round?

 

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

He was a top 10 pick at one point but now most of the mocks have him going 2nd round

 

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

He wouldn't be a bad pick here for the Mavs. Would add some rebounding and shot blocking as well as fit in to the offense nicely

I’ve never seen it, what is he like?

He really only speaks in 2-3 word phrases (“it’s cool”, “not really”, etc). Pretty much uninterested in any of the questions they want him to answer. He’s pretty laid back around his brothers and friends but he never wants to do the production interviews.

With the 18th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft the Dallas Mavericks select Desmond Bane, TCU G.

I’ve listened to some podcasts that wonder why Oturu is a borderline first rounder while Okongwu is practically Bam 2.0 to scouts

Jalen Smith gonna be the best C in the draft

 

[tremonthustler1]

Who is your top 5 barring any trades beforehand? Also, what do you think that Boston does/should do with their 3 first round picks?

As of now with no order

Hayes
Vassell
Nesmith
Toppin
Saddiq Bey


As for the Celtics, they’ve needed to consolidate for a while. I could see them use 1 pick for a guy they can bring in now and stash the other 2 picks. I’d be trying to move up if I were them. See if Detroit misses out on Hayes and wants to add a bunch of young players this year. That might be the only spot that they can try that with

I wanna agree. I do think he’s a guy who won’t fail because he’s multi faceted. He can work on his physicality a bit more but I like where he’s being projected. I’ll post something up tomorrow. I don’t know if he’ll play C full-time. I think that’ll depend on who picks him.

@No Homo BK is up

@Kliq_Souf @AAKing23 be ready

I guess him being 21 is hurting him a bit but not like he needs to develop much physically or anything so age doesn't bother me. I think he's the perfect 5 for where the game is heading. I don't see him having a problem being able to catch and shoot wide open 3's

that has to be the only top 5 big board without the presumed top 3 around. how weak is this draft then?

 

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

I like the depth of this draft there are a lot of really good players but the top guys definitely all have their question marks
