2018 NBA Draft Live Discussion Thread

[Mainstreet]

Michael Porter is really dropping per Woj. Maybe to a team like Denver.

Gambo just said that the Suns slipped the name of Huerter to him today. He thinks they have been trying to hide his name from him.

 

[Hoop Head]

I hope we can move up for Young. I'd trade everyone but Ayton, Booker, and Jackson. Right now, that's it's happening, I'd be ok with 16, Bucks pick, Miami 2021 pick, and a slew of 2nd rounders if needed. Of course Bender and Chriss if anyone wants them also.

This was supposed to get underway at 4, right? How long until the actual first pick is made? I'm just following on my computer.

So far... nothing but talk. They are still looking at draft picks.

 

[Cheesebeef]

anyone know when this officially starts?

 

[Luciano]

How many minutes till they will announce the first pick? I’m in Singapore with the travel and the time zone I forgot was today !

20 minutes till we're on the clock.

Just build up now, but should be starting soon

 

[Mainstreet]

Only a guess but at the speed they are moving perhaps 4:30???

 

[Chaplin]

4:30

I like Huerter quite a bit, without a trade I'd be very happy with him or Zhaire.

ugh, now 20min of "Where's Lebron going..." Who cares.

I've watched every show on the draft over the past few weeks including the regular shows that promise draft segments. I swear, every one of them has spent as much time on Lebron and Kawhi as they have any of the real draft stories. Nauseating.

Luka on ESPN right now says he is playing the NBA next year no matter who takes him.

 

[Cheesebeef]

if we come out of this with DeAndre and Dicenzo, I'll be stoked. Peak possibilities of the Admiral and Better Handles Majerle Part Deux? Sign me up for that!

 

[Mainstreet]

Gambo is talking about Huerter, Donte, Brunson, Holiday, Walker, Smith, Landry and more.

Donte might be near the top.

good for him. For all my talk about him, I'm pretty damn intrigued to see what he can do with the big boys.

Easy to say now that Sacramento is out of the picture!

 

[Mainstreet]

Per Gambo at #16... regarding drafting a PG, between Brunson or Holiday, the Suns value winning more.

This would seem Brunson would be the choice if they go PG between the two.

I don't think the Suns draft either at #16.

 

[Folster]

I also think there is a good chance that one of Holiday or Brunson will be available at 31.

 

[Evil Ash]

Player intros for the green room? Sure why not

 

[HeHasRosen]

We better come out with Ayton. I really hope we can also come out with Young, Sexton, Porter, Doncic, Bridges or a vet like Kemba. Please be aggressive suns. We dont have to make all these picks. If we are smart we are not making all these picks.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Per Gambo at #16 regarding drafting a PG, Brunson or Holiday the Suns value winning more. This would seem Brunson would be the choice.

wait... they can't draft Brunson at 16. That's just WAYYYY TOO much of a reach for a guy that's likely going to be there at 31. If you like him that much, move back up from 31, but at 16? That feels like an Ennis pick again.
