The Official 2022 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Yeah so im hearing the kings like keegan murray alot….

Golden state Gm was at every big ten game that iowa played…they wont be able to draft him but they heavily scouted him

That Born Jamericans lookin motherfukker is as bland as that team. I also just don't like where that would lead them.


They need a forward. A legit forward. Keegan Murray fits what they need. Johnny Davis adds to their clusterfukk at guard.

If I were them I'd shop Duarte if this is what they wanna do. Don't draft a 24 year old when a long rebuild is staring you in the face.

I don’t think Keegan Murray makes it to six.

Not unless the kings trade 4, and I don’t think they got the balls to trade of out 4 unless they get offered a unquestionably great package. Ivey doesn’t fit and is already making a stink about not wanting to play for the kings.

Meanwhile the Pacers get a great player to put between Tyrese and Duarte.

Pacers
Tyrese
Davis
Duarte
TJ Warren
Turner

That is a lot of shooting around a low key very good center. If they somehow convince Jalen Smith to stay I like that team even better with TJ coming off the bench as a sixth man.

26th pick is involved.


Good. Dallas never fit what I wanted in this draft anyway. Opens it up fully for Banchero


@who_better_than_me you are back on the clock.

Is the deal not official until after the draft? or did the rockets send them back a pick to get around the Stepien rule?

I’m surprised they went with Jalen Williams instead of Hardy. Having three Ignite guys in the green room is great PR and I doubt Hardy falls out the first round
