The NBA Draft Thread

Smith is a top 3 talent, has a questionable shot selection, and is a questionable playmaker.

And I still like what he brings to the table.

 

[awwsome]

Not even tryna gas the draft too hard but we're talking about flaws in Dennis Smith and his place in the lottery when he's put up better numbers than John Wall did at UK and has the highest freshman assist % in recent high major history ahead of Fultz.


Of the top 20 PER freshman guard seasons, 5 of them are in this draft class.

This draft is going to make 2018 look like 2016 did after 2015.

Potentially this could be the first time ever all the lottery picks are freshman/international.

Potentially this could be the first time ever all the lottery picks are freshman/international.

Rabb seems like the only player that could potentially upset that.

 

[awwsome]

Rabb isn't lottery talent in this draft I'm sorry.

He shoulda came out last year.

Agreed. I knew his stock would plummet.

 

[awwsome]

Agreed. I knew his stock would plummet.

I call that the James Michael McAdoo.

Albeit he is a better prospect than him, you should always go when you're as much a mystery as possible.

 

[B Sox]

I agree as well. I was just trying to come up with names, tbh.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I wouldn't be surprised if Rabb fell out of the 1st round.

Smith might be the hardest player to evaluate in the draft.

Lonzo might even be harder he has played in one system his whole life and the wonky shot makes even harder

 

[B Sox]

Lonzo might even be harder he has played in one system his whole life and the wonky shot makes even harder

Completely agree with this.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Rabb still a top 16 player / pick in this Draft IMO

People who cover CBB not saying anything about his choice now as expected

 

[addict4sneakers]

Rabb is an average athlete, doesn't space the floor, and is inefficient in the post.

All the way passing on him.

Nah.

 

[ballinsam23]

Lets say the Knicks land the 7th pick with Frank, Fox, Bridges all remaining. Who do you draft?

 

[pharaohing jay]

Other?

 

[phar0]

Def not Bridges
toss up between Frank and Fox tbh

 

[worldbeefreeg]

D'aaron Fox reminds me of B. Jennings as a prospect. Better defender but the speed/uptempo nature of their games.

If Knicks are at 7, I would take Monk if he's there.

They'll suck again and have Trevon Duval the year after.

Duval/Monk/Porzingis :x

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Monk may have the juice

 

[N41D]

Can Monk play any point at all?

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Can Monk play any point at all?

Yes, but you don't want it to come to that

 

[ballinsam23]

Rather him not play point. Much better off the ball. Kid has the "it" factor.

DX has Tatum over Isaac now

 

[awwsome]

DX has Tatum over Isaac now

Ew.

I will say after watching Issac a lot and especially tonight, he and any other lottery pick need to stay the hell away from that FSU coach.

No reason he shouldn't be playing 30 minutes at least and getting more usage, like why not play/feature your best player?

DX has Tatum over Isaac now

They've had Tatum there at #5 since 2/13...
