NBA Offseason

[Floatyworm]

And here comes the Bol Bol pick. Prove me wrong Danny.

I would seriously LOL....

Don't think he's their type of player....Never shed that BYU vibe

 

[Floatyworm]

OKC....please don't take Porter Jr....He's been the guy everybody has penciled in for them. Just don't see the fit.

Traded down.

 

[Floatyworm]

Traded down.

...Sam Presti moves down for a 2nd....Earth shattering.

They just don't have a plan....

If it wasn't for hos issues he would be anyone's type of player. He has that unicorn skill set. Soft, injury prone and a bad attitude sink everything though

 

[darthseinfeld]

I think RJ Barrett is going to be a stud

For transformative players, I considered it a 3 team draft

 

[Floatyworm]

Welp...that was 3 hrs I wish I could get back...Thanks Sam Presti

 

[Floatyworm]

ok....trying to wrap my head around what OKC is doing.

 

[Floatyworm]

Bla bla bla.....but can he shoot? OKC needs guys that can shoot. They are in a win now mode.

How many more guys are they going to try and "develope"?

What the hell is wrong with the Atlanta Hawks? They move up to #4 to draft a guy not projected in the top 10 and pass on garland. This reminds of the year they passed on chris paul to draft a guy nobody was taking in the top 10.

Did you watch any pre drafts shows? Hunter was a top 7 pick in every mock draft I saw. He proved to be better than Culver in their head to head matchup. Straight dominated that clown. Was also considered the best defensive player in the draft by most.

Lol, what?

Show me a mock draft that didn’t have him top 10.

Im a Reddish guy, but Atlanta's draft is very feast or famine to be

I disagree. Hunter is going to be an excellent pick.

Reddish is very feast or famine.... and likely to be famine.

Already getting Kawhi comparison. Ceiling probably not that high but should be excellent two way player.

 

[atlantacowboy]

To have all those assets...and are gonna piss them away....I'm shocked they didn't trade for a vet.

They made a bad trade last year too with the Mavs. They drafted Luka Doncic and traded him for trae young........... morons

They overvalued him. They could have drafted Garland at 4 and Hunter would have been there at 10. He's a defensive , garbage bucket kind of player. Atlanta hasn't had an all-star caliber point guard since Spud Webb..........and they wonder why they go generations between competing for NBA titles.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

OMG...

Talk about the NBA crapshoot....

Jaxson Hayes wasn’t starting on his high school team TWO YEARS AGO, and now he’s a top 10 pick

He's a role player. A clean up guy. Someone to block shots, grab rebounds, and quick put backs. But yes it was a head scratching pick.

You better stick to football cause you obviously don’t watch basketball. The best player on a national Championship team that scored his career high against another top 10 pick in the NC is not a garbage bucket player. Career 42% 3 point shooter and 50% from the field playing in the best conference.

Well...after doing some digging on the Darius Bazley pick...It sure fits the M.O. of Sam Presti. Search for gold w/ a scratch lotto ticket. Boom or bust type pick. He is intriging though...After watching him play....I couldn't help feel like I was watching a poor man left handed Kevin Durant. He sure is built like KD....long...skinny...decent athletic ability. I still question though...can he shoot consistantly? Considering where OKC was picking in the draft...No one willing to trade w/ them...no cap space...this was probably about as good a move that they could make. Maybe they hit on this kid...who knows. Sounds like he's has a lot of people giving him advice...hence...all the indecisions...change in path. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

 

[jterrell]

Pretty sure Mavs are getting Kemba Walker.
I'm not 100% sure how to feel about that tbh.

No....

First, you said mock drafts didn’t have him top 10. Now, you are moving the goalposts.

And Hunter wouldn’t have lasted to 10. At worst, he fell to 7. Chicago was very high on him. But no one believed he would fall to 7.

Except you, apparently.

Edit: Based on your description of Hunter, I wonder if you’ve actually watched him play.

Also.... they drafted their PG last year...
