2024 NBA Draft Thread

[Raindog]

Grizzlies take

Zach Edey

C

Purdue

Canada

7-4

299 lbs

At least I won't have to lament is passing on him later, which James Jones would have undoubtedly done if he had somehow dropped to 22. Jones will seemingly never get that size in the post and rebounding and interior defense is still a thing in the NBA.

 

[Dback Jon]

Bulls

Matas Buzelis

F

G League Ignite

USA

6-9

197 lbs

 

[Covert Rain]

Flex can still be right, the Suns draft Bronny so they can get LeBron.

 

[Mainstreet]

As I understand it, the Suns can't announce a trade using the 22nd pick until they are on the clock, if it happens.

Maybe we might hear a rumor but nothing official.

 

[Dback Jon]

Thunder get a Nicola

Nikola Topic

G

KK Crvena Zvezda (Serbia)

Serbia

6-6

190 lbs

 

[Mainstreet]

I wonder if Portland will draft another center at #14.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Wow. Portland takes Carrington. Pg projected much later.

Yep. They can negotiate all they want but it cannot be announced until they are on the clock.

Wow. Portland takes Carrington. Pg projected much later.

He's being traded to the Wizards, along with a future first and Brogdon for Deni Avdija.

Strange trade.

I get what the Wiz are doing, total tear down time. No clue what the Blazers are doing.

They actually can't announce it officially until after making the pick for the other team since you can't trade 1st rounders in back-to-back years.

Trading down can be done beforehand though

Pistons take Holland

Ron Holland II

F

G League Ignite

USA

6-7

197 lbs

Holland is like Ron Artest without the crazy.

When the Suns are on the clock, it does not constitute trading back-to-back picks. Actually, the rights are what is traded.

Ware to Indiana. That was a player that was in the Suns discussion.

Also, center Yves Missi was in the discussion.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Well. I have an appointment I have to get to. Really frustrated I cannot watch this further. My prediction: Suns fans will be livid after this draft.

They always are.

 

[Cheesebeef]

They always are.

Not sure we’ll see livid, no matter the pick because I feel like last season leveled pretty much all passion from every type of Suns fan.

 

[Joe Mama]

Get ready for everybody that we might possibly want to start dropping off the board right before our pick… It never fails

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm still expecting a trade down unless someone special is there the Suns really like.

 

[Evil Ash]

I know its a trade for the rights. They used to force the team to make a pick. Maybe that changed under the new CBA

The change would make sense to get rid of the awkward moment of having draftees wearing the hat of the team thats trading them

 

[Chaplin]

Bronny James was NOT picked by the Lakers

 

[Phrazbit]

Not sure we’ll see livid, no matter the pick because I feel like last season leveled pretty much all passion from every type of Suns fan.

If we move the pick and the pick in 31, for some mediocre vet I will be pretty mad.

Won't you be pretty mad no matter what we do?

We are only talking about a technicality. The players are still wearing the cap of the team that draft them.

 

[Chaplin]

Orlando takes Da Silva, one of those guys I hoped might drop a few slots.
