2019 NBA Draft thread

[sergmatt]

These mid to late first round picks are always exciting seeing guys fall, potential sleepers, trades, etc.....

But let's be honest most of these picks will end up being much ado about nothing.

It's likely only a few of the guys taken in the 18-30 range will truly stick long term and only one or two will and up being steals end major impact players. The question is who those precious few guys will end up being.

Keldon gets drafted by the Spurs, ditches flashy suit for a classic one lmao

And that's why it makes sense to go for upside IMO with how this draft has worked out. Bol Bol could end up being this years Hassan Whiteside.

Even if one of the top guys is still available when we pick I'm fully expecting to be disappointed when we take some guy I've never heard of.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

I read on Twitter that Bol Bol medical is concerning that's why he dropping.

 

[SacTownKid]

Well, there are a few positives here. Paschall is dropping. Fernando is too.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

At some point I fee like we should consider trading up to get Bol Bol.

I'm the opposite. At this point, I'm happy just holding on to what we have. We have a chance to take a flyer on three guys, and there's a lot of talent falling.

 

[sactowndog]

Was hoping for Bazley. No luck

 

[SacTownKid]

I read on Twitter that Bol Bol medical is concerning that's why he dropping.

I'm sure it is. Still worth it considering how many of these players aren't realistically NBA rotation guys to begin with.

 

[sactowndog]

Bol Bol and Jontay Porter. Choose your injury risk

Nets put 31 on the block.

Wake up Vlade. lol

Haha, Bol Bol all day. I never saw Porter as first round talent.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Cavs got Porter Jr. They got much better today.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Well lets see if Vladie trades up now.

 

[VF21]

Ew, he doesn't wear socks.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Btw what's up with all the Porter and Porter Jr's in all these drafts? Otto Porter Jr., Porter last year, Porter Jr. This year.

 

[fnordius]

Even if one of the top guys is still available when we pick I'm fully expecting to be disappointed when we take some guy I've never heard of.

Are we still rigorously not drafting people who haven't come to Sac to work out, or has that changed any?

Jontay Porter still waiting too

Kyle Guy over Bruno Fernando, over Bol Bol, over Schofield, over Paschall, over you name it, I can see it now! haha.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Ew, he doesn't wear socks.

The Don Johnson is strong in this one

 

[Dime Dropper]

I hope it's changed, because some of the best guys likely to be on the board weren't worked out by us. Can't be narrow-minded here.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

Now the Cavs trade 4 second rounders to Detroit for #30.

It can be done. What’s Vlade holding out for?

 

[Iced Espresso]

Kyle Guy over Bruno Fernando, over Bol Bol, over Schofield, over Paschall, over you name it, I can see it now! haha.

I think Guy worked out here twice?

 

[Dime Dropper]

Kyle Guy over Bruno Fernando, over Bol Bol, over Schofield, over Paschall, over you name it, I can see it now! haha.

I can easily see it. I'm OK with Guy at 60. I am not OK with him at 40, or even 47.

 

[206Fan]

hopefully the 2nd round gets like 1 min clocks...

 

[Tetsujin]

Now the Cavs trade 4 second rounders to Detroit for #30.

We only have three second round picks and the Cavs had more value in their spots too.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

With Spurs drafting Samanic, Bertans is available, Vlade wanted Bertans last offseason.

Bertans>>>Bjelica

 

[Iced Espresso]

I'm going to predict we move 47 for two future seconds.

 

[sactowndog]

Lots of SF still on the board: Okpala, Roby, King
