2020 NBA Draft Thread (Twitter spoilers friendly)

And at pick 12, the fun likely dies, haha.

With the #12 pick in the NBA draft, the Sacramento Kings select: A Small Lump Of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit...who does not appear to be eligible for this draft.

Guess they weren’t lying about loving Williams.

Those rumors have legs! (I hate it, BTW. "Athlete" is not an NBA position.)

“Next Kawhi if you squint hard enough” is certainly not what you want with your high lotto pick.

yeah, I’m thinking a player we all likely would be good with, Vassell, will go to San Antonio at 11. Leaving many of us shaking our heads at 12.

If nothing else Patrick Williams has been the biggest beneficiary of the draft being shifted a few months back.

He's got prototypical size and skills for a modern NBA forward. On the other hand, he doesn't do anything at an elite level yet.

Will miss trianing camp to dry up for the season.

Teams like what they like. We'll see if that holds true with Sac later on. The Bulls hording up on Thad Youngs. Kings hording up on De'Aarron Fox's? LOL.

Talk about climbing the draft boards

OKC knows they can only have 17 players at once right?

Well, he's got a future in the flower-delivery business, so that's something.

This is where we see where the Kings stand. Even so, Saddiq Bey would likely be on the board in that scenario. Easy transition. Maybe even a bigger talent payout there too.

Surprised this thread is more popular than the non-spoiler one!

I enjoy seeing the picks being announced, I'll see you all later tonight after we pick!

Right. I’d be pumped if one of Okoro, Vassell, or Bey fell to us. If only because it could open up trade options.

Whoever that interviewer is, is amazingly beautiful

Perhaps does not have a future in setting up A/V.

Yes but UNLIMITED 1st round picks.

 

[Tetsujin]

Cavs go with Okoro.

 

[dude12]

For Sac, the key is Killian Hayes like I’ve seen in mocks but how does this Bogi fiasco mess with that?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Haha that little girl! Cute!

 

[SacTownKid]

Right. I’d be pumped if one of Okoro, Vassell, or Bey fell to us. If only because it could open up trade options.

And the beauty is it doesn't create imbalance. Even without trades they easily factor into the rotation as is.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Right. I’d be pumped if one of Okoro, Vassell, or Bey fell to us. If only because it could open up trade options.

With Williams rising to #4, it would seem certain at least one of those is available at #12. Perhaps two. I have been of the opinion that 12 is kind of the ceiling for Bey.

rubio going back home to where it started?

 

[dude12]

Ok Oro to Cavs was rumored and it also will happen.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yes but UNLIMITED 1st round picks.

Presti going full Ainge. Hopefully he actually uses these to consolidate big assets instead of running around like a dog that caught the ball like the Celts have.
