2021 NBA Draft Superthread

[SLAB]

Damn

*still hurdles apparently, I may have jumped the gun. But they’re working towards it

 

[SacTownKid]

Sure, but if they believe in Barnes over Suggs go be the better player, I don't know if that bothers me.

Maybe they could be looking to keep Siakam. Fill defensive beasts around your finesse PF?

I don't get Toronto passing on Suggs to take another offensively-challenged forward in Scottie Barnes. Some teams just have a type and that's what Toronto likes. (like us with skinny shooting specialists who don't defend) If Scottie Barnes turns out like Ron Artest or Scottie Pippin, I'll eat my hat. I'm not a fan. I'd even take Kuminga over him and I'm not high on Kuminga either.

Think there's a better chance of Barnes turning into Pippen than Suggs into Jason Kidd.

 

[206Fan]

It's very interesting, I wonder if this changes what Orlando does at 8?

Maybe Kuminga? Orlando loves long athletic players(preferably with high IQ. Kuminga's is ok). I could also see them going with Wagner.

Trading Aaron Gordon just to draft him again would be something lol

Never know. I don't think he'll be as good offensively as a scorer but similar. Maybe a bigger Igoudala. Still, huge value today.

Talk about a straw man for the ages! I was just thinking Suggs could be their new starting PG.

I don't mind the idea if the plan is Barnes-OG-Siakam. FVV is an excellent floor general already, so while I would have taken Suggs, it's not like they don't have a lead playmaker. Barnes should be expected to fill that secondary role anyway.

Hate it if they still look for a traditional C.

LOL If we're expecting every draft pick to become a HoFer, we're screwed

Suggs will be a solid pro, but I never got those Kidd comparisons.

Me neither. I should have clarified I was talking about Barnes as well.

 

[sactowndog]

The Raptors don't have a point guard

Play Barnes at point

Unreal if it happens

 

[Tetsujin]

This pick is taking a long time.

 

[hrdboild]

Good for you Orlando. Get yourselves a floor general to fix your non-existent offense. I had them taking Barnes so this was a come-up for them in my book.

Take Buddy, take Buddy, take Buddy. lol.

[Tetsujin]
