The NBA Draft Thread

Any reason Kennard cant become a Klay or Booker?

He's def not your typical white shooter either (Korver, Dunleavy, Novak etc). He can score in more ways than one.

Klay Thompson and Devin Booker both have 7 foot wingspans. 

Kennard is 6'5 and his wingspan is 6'5.

That's a significant difference. Going to be an uphill battle for him to become one of them.

Fam, what?

Booker has a 6'8 wingspan and Klay has a 6'9 wingspan (via Draft Combine).

The dude in here that compared Kennard to Rodney Hood was pretty on point.

Kennard is a much better ball handler and playmaker than Rodney Hood.

Hood has more physical tools and is a better defender.

Who's that one player taken in the 2nd round that y'all feel would be a steal?

PJ Dozier

PJ Dozier

Reminds me of a Ariza when he was in college. If he gets that jumper like he did eventually I think he'll be a nice contributor

 

[addict4sneakers]

Swanigan

 

[wavycrocket]

Perry Dozier reminds me of Shawn Livingston with more shooting potential.

I'd take him in the late 1st round actually.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Just cause I miss TnT's presentation of the draft in 2017

 

[frshstunna]

Motley , hart or juwan Evans ( if he drops) would be good pickups in the 2nd round

 

[ricardo malta]

More about the number 7 than the team, but we shall see....

Problem is, I don't think that nets them either Collins or Kennard.

Don't think Collins gets past MN, and Kennard past the Knicks.

C'mon man. This is not happening.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

I'm in on Swanigam as well I'm the 2nd round. He was the best player in the country last year.

I see him as a better version of Mo Speights.

Also, I think Kennard is a great college player but I would absolutely pass in him in the league.

He's not a PG, doesn't have the athleticism or handle to play he 1, and is too small/slow to be a versatile wing defender. Also think he's a good shooters versus a great shooter. Think he'll just struggle and not have the same value in the NBA cause he sort of needs the ball in his hands.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Did I just start see a Beasley comparison for John Collins? Good lord that's enough for me today.

Literally nothing asides from height make the two similar

I meant Derrick Williams, those two are like tomato-tomahto to me

 

[bishopstrongbow]

What's the consensus on Lauri Markkanen ?

 

[Quincy McCall]

As for the second rd, no telling who's going to end up a late first or late in the top 40

Anyone of Jonah Bolden, Swanigan, Lydon or Wilson will do if they don't all end up in the 1st. I'm iffy on Wilson and Ojeleye tho, Wilson's skillset seems good as a back-up small-ball 5

 

[Quincy McCall]

7-foot Ryan Anderson which could be decent if he can play some C and hold his own against smaller C's. Not crazy about him but I understand his potential, I would draft Zach Collins over him

[emoji]128686[/emoji]

White Brian cook

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Frank Mason will make somebody's team

Hoping for the best for him

 

[frshstunna]

Need Frank on the Wiz ...back up to Wall and he can be close to home

 

[B Sox]

Porzingis

 

[lovehateself]

Who's that one player taken in the 2nd round that y'all feel would be a steal?

Jordan bell

 

[dat dude chris]

Porzingis

If theyre really considering on trading him & drafting Lauri in his spot then i really feel for Knicks fans

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Kp for the kings 2019 pick and Jordan Mickey, who says no?
