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

@Flex Grossman

that’s why I gave y’all Bolmaro. Not because you need him, but because he’s stashable. Wouldn’t stun me if y’all took Poku to stash him too.

A lot of nuggets fans/bloggers want poku

Sorry. I meant to ask you who you got the Nuggets taking.

@THEREALBRAND be ready when Utah’s up

 

[Kang Deezy]

Why does it seem like the Celtics always have 3 first round picks

they usually do

I didn’t even know this was going on lol. Let’s go poku.

I haven put nearly as much research into the draft this year, but a long rangy shooter with good feel is the type of developmental guy the Nuggets will want.

So Boston wants Okongwu?

Won't even get my hopes up

If y’all pull that off, that’s great, but I also think that requires trading up to #1 to do it and that’s not happening.


Now if Okongwu slips to 7, it’s very doable.

Why would we have to trade up to 1 to get him?

Even if Okongwu slips to 7 though, would Detroit trade if for example, Hayes is still on the board?

I think it's wishful thinking.

Because if Golden State takes Wiseman I can definitely see Charlotte taking Okongwu at 3.

you’d have to hope Charlotte leapfrogs to #1, takes Wiseman and then you can try your luck at trading up as high as #4

 

[TOAD99]

I always thought Cassius Winston was a solid player from the little I’ve seen from him, even considering his height

I think he’ll be a good second round steal if he’s shooting it like that

also isnt Nesmith supposed to be the one of the best shooters in the draft? What happened to him

the Celtics are not gonna try to trade up to 1... they’ll try to trade the picks and whatever fodder they can to move up, if okongwu slips then great but if not they’ll probably draft some Kemba insurance... one of haliburton hayes or terry in my opinion

If Detroit takes Hayes then okongwu falls to at least 9 depending on what Washington wants to do

Probably. But what I was trying to get at was, a team is less willing to trade down if their guy is there.

Also for what it's worth, from what I've read, Okongu seems to be Washington's target at 9.
