2020 NBA Draft Thread (Twitter spoilers friendly)

sure anyone can survive but Haliburton as a 3 is laughable.

Yeah, no way does he have the weight for it. He's a 1/2. But teams are starting to run smaller SG's at SF so it depends I guess.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

lord i am old. Watched Greg Anthony and Kenyon Martins sons drafted tonight. Seems like just yesterday I was growing up, 2 different periods of youth, watching those guys

Martin's first college ball season was the year I graduated uni, but my kid is only 12. So there's some small perspective but still.

I'm sure he's not playing the 3, but we got caught up in the measurements. Haliburton is obviously long when you watch him on video

 

[funkykingston]

Devon Dotson goes undrafted. That's a shock.

Dotson is a consistent jumper away from being a very good backup PG IMO.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yup. In no way is anyone advocating playing him at SF full time but minutes there in a three guard lineup are entirely possible.

 

[SacTownKid]

don’t know where you are getting your data....

I've seen nothing that says those are official. It could be true but some of them are clearly just copying and pasting from other sites info. I've seen Ramsey listed as having a 6'5"-6'6" wingspan other places before. No way is that right.

 

[Iced Espresso]

So did Shams just make a mistake?

Or did we trade the 52?

 

[Hoovtrain]

Martin's first college ball season was the year I graduated uni, but my kid is only 12. So there's some small perspective but still.

yeah was in like 6th-7th grade when I was watching Anthony at UNLV then a soph-junior at LMU when watching Martin at Cincinnati. My kids are 4 and 6, but mainly because it took me a long time to settle down lol

[dude12]

Hoopsrumors says Houston traded for the pick but details yet

 

[bajaden]

And Tillie goes undrafted.

I think it's likely because of his medical history. I'd certainly try to sign him to a two way if possible. He's too talented to not play in the NBA.

 

[Tetsujin]

McNair talking about the league transitioning to being a multiple ballhandler league.

that would explain all the guards.

 

[iowamcnabb]

So Bogdan wants to play for the Bucks? WTF

 

[funkykingston]

Sounds like he signed a 2-way deal with the Grizzlies.

Grizzlies sure like their Gonzaga guys

Cash considerations... AND a second round pick

 

[Telemachus]

Tillie signed with Memphis according to Woj.

 

[sactowndog]

sure maybe but let’s see in our Division we have:
Lebron James 6’ 9”. 250. 7’ 0”
Kahwai Leonard 6’ 7” 225 7’ 3”
Andrew Wiggins 6’7” 197. 7’ 0”
Mikhal Bridges. 6’6” 209 7’ 1”

and we are going to play Haliburton at 3?????

6’ 5” 175. 6’ 7”

Haliburton
Woodard
Ramsey
Lakers 2021 2nd rounder
Lesser of Det/Chi 2022 2nd rounder
A million bucks

Just an incredibly smart draft. Increase future assets (that 2022 pick might come in the double draft year and be worth a lot) AND really increase the talent of the team

yeah I was 34, honestly was for the best but this work from home thing got me wishing I could just ride off into the sunset already.

But Kings media is in the dark so . . .

Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
Kings GM Monte McNair did not mention 40th pick Robert Woodard and then said he could not answer a question about Woodard. Sounds like that pick will be part of a trade as well.

 

[sactowndog]

Yup. In no way is anyone advocating playing him at SF full time but minutes there in a three guard lineup are entirely possible.

Sure in some match-ups anything is possible but he clearly will swing 1-2

Shots fired?

It's not official yet.

 

[Suicide King]

At this point, are we sure Baja isn’t actively employed by the current Kings front office?

we could only hope

Again, it depends on matchups. For him it would obviously be determined on what you can get away with.
