2021 NBA Draft Superthread

[hrdboild]

Brandon Roy with better knees -- I like that comp as a best-case scenario for Cade. He's not going to wow people with athleticism but he's smooth under pressure with big-shot potential. We'll see if he finds that killer instinct needed to become an NBA star.

Holy hell these guys are DROOLING over Cunningham. I didn’t realize he was this elite of a prospect.

6'8 SF who looks like a point-forward that can also shoot, I see more Paul George than Luka Doncic, but he's going to be good.

Dude just said draft Green because look at his flash, suit game, and jewelry.

Detroit knocked it out of the park last draft and have a very nice future going for them. Very nice. That Cade/Stewart pnr combo is going to be interesting. I just hope they let Stewart show that pick and pop shot he's got.

Wall and Green gonna be a fun backcourt though

Truly unmatchable basketball acumen from ESPN.

I mean, they were right, but talk about "right for the wrong reasons"!

That's like two good players and a bunch of lottery tickets

 

[Dime Dropper]

That or maybe others can stop being so sensitive on a board meant for posting? Lets not derail this, it ain't about you, ain't about me.

Maybe just stop spamming about Sengun and we can all get back on track. Criticism is fine, repeating yourself ad naeseum is not. We get it.

Lmao Jefferson’s expressions as lady was asking that question. Head in the clouds.

Shocking. Lol

 

[Dime Dropper]

Who's going to be the first surprise pick? Could happen from here on out, first 3 picks were pretty much guaranteed.

Shocking. Lol

The picks from here on out should at least be more interesting.

 

[SLAB]

We’re really really going to end the night with Budward and Bags on the roster still aren’t we?

 

[hrdboild]

Jalen Green on a gutted Rockets team is going to be putting up buckets like there's no tomorrow. Transitioning from volume scorer on a bad team to bonafide leader could be a tough transition for him though unless Houston finds him some help soon. I don't think Wall is going to find his fountain of youth (well, not unless he ends up in Phoenix). I hope the Rockets don't ruin him.

EDIT: I totally forgot about KP3 being on the Rockets now too. That's an interesting backcourt if someone can reign them in and get them both to play under control. I'd league pass them next year if the Kings aren't doing anything.

Honestly good. Making the Lakers better just makes me cringe, even if it's a good deal for us. Time to poach THT!

It's ESPN. For the third pick their website said the best available player was Evan Mobley but had the best fit as Davion Mitchell. Really?

 

[AaronPDX]

So now the Lakers have $120M committed to three players

Bouknight.

Man, I really like the potential Cavs:

Garland-Sexton-Okoro-Mobley-Allen

Mobley has to be a spacer for it to really work, but that's top 4 in the East upside type of lineup

 

[Tetsujin]

Shams not spoiling this pick makes me think there are some shenanigans going on

 

[sactowndog]

The picks from here on out should at least be more interesting.

Nah Barnes then Suggs for sure, probably Bouknight at 6

Predicted Scottie Barnes at 4... Toronto likes long and athletic. But I thought Jalen Suggs would be the better pick.
