NBA Draft Discussion

Another benefit of playing in G League instead of college. The league has your best interests in mind over team competitiveness and will shut you down when your stock is more likely to fall than rise with more playing time.

Still astonished daily by the strings of words churned out on Twitter.

HE'S GOT THAT KILLER INSTINCT!!

I don’t trust this graphic. Nigel Hayes played for Wisconsin, not East Landfill.

I feel vindicated on Miller, even while feeling annoyed he made Oats' system look bad.

Dick came and left

(Kansas Dick, not Michigan Dick)

I'm sure Kansas fans hope that Dick pulls out, but the fact is his entry is likely to be fruitful.

Sucks for all the Ignite fans.

All these OADs and 11th fucking place in the G-League West. You’d think things would change but it’s probably going to be a bunch of OADs again next year.

I'm hoping Coach Hart can retain some of these guys. We've got to change the culture if we're going to win anything. The other G League teams are bringing in grown men.

1. Spurs - Victor Wembanyama
2. Hornets - Brandon Miller
3. Blazers - Scoot Henderson
4. Rockets - Amen Thompson
5. Pistons - Cam Whitmore
6. Magic - Ausar Thompson
7. Pacers - Taylor Hendricks
8. Wizards - Anthony Black
9. Jazz - Cason Wallace
10. Mavs - Jarace Walker

19. Warriors - Dereck Lively

My mock would be:

1. Spurs - Victor
2. Rockets (trade) - Scoot
3. Blazers - Miller
4. Hornets (trade) - Amen
5. Pistons - Hendricks
6. Magic - Ausar
7. Pacers - Whitmore
8. Wizards - Walker

14. Kings (trade) - Lively

Hornets taking Miller would suck. They need someone who can create more offense.

I'm hoping the stuff they've gone through with Bouknight and Miles Bridges make them steer clear of someone with Miller's off-court issues.

 

[rome8180]

Also, I'm hoping the Magic don't take Gradey Dick with pick #11. Based on their Wagner and Caleb Houstan picks, he seems like someone they would pick. I don't want to have to root for Dick.

 

[Pantone287]

I'm confused as to why Hawkins isn't a lottery pick. Maybe his frame limits his upside, but his floor as a positive contributor seems so high. Seems like this year's Trey Murphy.

The number of Miller over Scoot takes is similarly baffling to me. I would not hesitate a second to take Scoot at 2, and be thrilled about it.

 

[rome8180]

Miller gives me Jabari Smith vibes. He's tall and can shoot. I just don't feel there's enough beyond that.

They need to just stockpile guards until they land a max contract caliber player.

Fuck MJ and that dumb team. I hope they take Miller and continue to suck.

 

[childress22]

Expert opinions aside, if I were the Hornets, I'd definitely bring Cam Whitmore in for a workout as part of the process.

Same. I'd be disappointed that I didn't get Wemby but I'd be very happy to draft a guy that could've gone #1 in other drafts.
