2018 NBA Draft Live Discussion Thread

[AZCrazy]

Zhaire Smith is a versatile player, but as a 3 and D guy, he's a mirror of Josh Jackson. Would he have a spot? Or would they squish him in as a guard?

Anyone like Aaron Holliday?

 

[Mainstreet]

No, Gambo was wrong. No deal between the Suns and Clippers.

I was still clinging to hope.

 

[Raindog]

Sounds like if Porter slides to Suns, that might be as divisive a pick as if we had taken Doncic or someone else other than Ayton number one.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Denver is going to take Porter per Woj

 

[Jake6233]

Porter would be a great pick at 16. By that point why not take the best talent available. In fact they should probably trade up for him if they have too.

 

[Ronin]

My guess is we go donte with the 16th pick

 

[Cheesebeef]

we're going to swing for a single and take Holiday, aren't we?

I can see some questions about it since his health is why he'd fall but it's #16 and they could grab a guy their medical team thinks will be fine, if they pick him, and he was the #2 prospect before the NCAA season. You can't pass on that chance. Hopefully he's good after a year of resting and working with professional medical staff. No one has his upside.

 

[Phrazbit]

Nuggets save us a few seasons worth of angst.

 

[Hoop Head]

Well there goes that hope. That's fine. It was a longshot anyways.

or his backside, which is why he plummeted.

yup.

Suns taking Donte DiVincenzo

If so, I like it. I think he'll be a productive pro.

Athletic, good shooter, plays off the ball, decent passer, lots of hustle on D. Should be a good backup for Booker.

Hoping the Wizards take him!

Can't have enough floor stretchers.

Who do you want us to take?

 

[JCSunsfan]

Hmm. We could have traded for Michael Porter but instead we take Dante. I like Dante, but he's not MPJr

The functional spine is a plus.

 

[GatorAZ]

Walker or Smith.

hmm, indeed

 

[Phrazbit]

Walker or Smith.

Don't want Walker, but I'd be happy with Smith or Donte.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's a solid pick. Lonnie Walker reportedly has some red flags... listening to 98.7 FM.

 

[GatorAZ]

Expected that

When he's not injured.
