The Official 2021 NBA Draft Talk Thread

The rumor is Memphis likes Giddey at #10. For what they did to get him, they must like him a whole lot

He might not be there. If Golden State likes him (and from what I've heard, Giddey really likes Golden State), they can't wait til 14 to get him.

If it's for Bouknight, they'd have to talk to OKC to jump both Golden State and Orlando


Memphis has Utah's first next year and Golden State's pick which got wild protection but it becomes unprotected in 2026 after presumably this era of Warriors hoops is over. 10 + future Dubs pick is enough to make OKC think about moving down if they can't move up themselves.

Better athlete, better defense, but I see the comp

i can’t see that at all. D Lo a lefty pick n roll specialist and Cade is a righty abs was one of the best iso scorers in college

 

[Recca Gatsby]

what if he wants to just come to the Cavs?

Willingly??

I don’t see the Hawks going with a forward

I don’t see the Hawks going with a forward

I think in this iteration (much of this will change) that y'all are just taking BPA and insurance for Hunter and Okongwu who keep getting hurt. Combine that with that Gallinari trade stuff and the glut of guards y'all got already (not at backup PG but y'all can sign or draft one later) and BPA could be the best plan B if the PG's aren't to their liking

Y'all didn't need Okongwu a year ago but he was sitting there.

@Leasy you can pick ahead of the Nets now

@MooseMouthMthafuga you can pick when Leasy goes

If @No Homo doesn't wanna pick for BK then someone who hasnt picked can pick for them.

 

[ALonelyDad]

How bad was BJ Boston in college that he goes from top 5 projected to 2nd round? Does he have any hope?
