2020 NBA Draft Thread (Twitter spoilers friendly)

Hope the teams in front keep taking the available PGs right now.....leave the wings for us

McDaniels has actually shown some impressive flashes on D, but he's such a headcase you can't count on him.

McDaniels gives me serious Donte Greene vibes so I grouped him in with the KAT group of dudes who can play D but just choose not to.

Great reply, now I want to hear Fox’s take on Tyrese as a backcourt partner.

NBATV coverage had Swipa on zoom right after the pick was made. They had some communication problems but brought him back on once they got it fixed.

To summarize, Swipa likes the selection and cited Toronto winning a title playing 2 point guards / playmakers together.

When asked about the Bogdanovic trade and whether he expected to be playing with him next season, he basically took the high road and said he had nothing to do with those decisions.

alright college ball fans. who are the best 7 players left?

Bey can play some defense but doesn't really shoot the 3.

If we go for a wing I'm hoping they are more 3 ball capable. But that's our need

No one rose on the Aleksej Pokusevski bandwagon?

Went to Minny at 17, bounced to OKC

No one gonna be up in arms about Poku when Haliburton slips to you like it’s a scene from a movie.

Howard?

I meant in general lol. Shows how much attention I was paying doh!

Terry at 31

lol I thought he was still on the board going into the 2nd

Seth Curry insurance

Cassius stanley?

First round athleticism, needs some work, but could be a nice piece.

Swing for the fences

Yep. Mavs plan is super clear here

More intriguing if he weren't already 21. I worry about his development arc.

what’s even more lame is my brother in law was texting me about the Poku trade when I had gone to the other room to do something and it did not even register lol

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Swing for the fences

That's my strategy. If we got both Stanley and Tillie, then I'd be OK with that.

Dotson and Jones are some PGs that have to go soon, but probably won't be on our radar with Haliburton on board.

Fair enough. It's a 2nd round risk no doubt. He's dirty aggressive though.

 

[funkykingston]

Vernon Carey gone. Will be some interesting players available at #35

 

[funkykingston]

And Oturu gone. That stings a bit.

 

[Tetsujin]

Woah

The highlights and description of Carey sound just like Bagley.
Offensive rebounding, second jump, touch.

 

[Tetsujin]

Buddy apparently gonna be a King whether he likes it or not.
