2018 NBA Draft Live Discussion Thread

So Okobo is not a stash player. I feel Bogdon burned us by staying overseas for too long.

It's a great draft thus far.

 

[hsandhu]

Well I got pretty much one of my best case draft scenarios that I was hoping for

I‘ll call that quits for having to endure 2016

Who do you compare okobo to?

 

[Errntknght]

well, we ought to have good intel on Okobo, from Igor. Raze said he was a terrible mess on defense, so that has me worried a bit.

 

[Chaplin]

Tony Parker part Deux?

 

[1tinsoldier]

if Bridges replaces TJ and Okobo replaces Ulis we're on the right track

 

[devilalum]

This mock had him going #13?

Let's hope so. That would be sweet.

Eva Longoria part Deux?

Ooh, do you think Okobo will marry a Kardashian? I'm so excited!

 

[Mainstreet]

Brunson goes to the Hawks.

No Kardashian is even in the same league as Longoria.

I've never seen Okobo play but from highlights, very long, athletic, great on the drive but man does he have a slow release on his outside shot.

Definitely interesting looking prospect, still amazed Melton is still on the board, wonder if there's something else the teams have on him I can't imagine they care about the FBI stuff, I thought he'd go between about 18 and 25 very surprised he's still there

 

[Mainstreet]

The run on PGs begin.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bordow on Okobo.

Jevon Carter and Brunson go boom, boom, immediately after Okobo. I'd have taken Carter, Okobo will sit and learn, hopefully. He won't be ready for Curry and co. Maybe some against lesser opponents.

One thing that excites me on this pick...when he worked out for the Suns it was in the same group as Jevon Carter. Agents were making sure their point guard clients avoided Carter in workouts...that Okobo looked good enough for the Suns to draft him is encouraging.

He worked out with Carter's group in Phoenix; so at least the Suns chose him after seeing the two against each other.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like the player. I question the fit as the roster stands.

Take the BPA and worry about the rest earlier. LOL

It's been a long day and the Suns still have #59.

 

[Errntknght]

I'd have taken Jevon but then I didn't see him working out vs. Okobo...

 

[Mr. Boldin]

Warriors should have taken DeAnthony Melton not Evans. Evans is good but Melton is a lockdown defender, can play either guard position and is long enough to guard some 4. Sort of a smaller Iggy.

He cant shoot.

What did Dallas give up to move from 5 to 3?

What did Dallas give up to move from 5 to 3?

Top 5 protected first.

 

[Bufalay]

Never mind. They traded next years protected pick. Can’t believe the suns didn’t protect that 2021 pick.

 

[Errntknght]

What did Dallas give up to move from 5 to 3?

A first round pick, nominally next year but protections may drag it out.
