2021 NBA Draft Superthread

[Arkitect]

How small can we get?

 

[Sluggah]

Why.

 

[hrdboild]

Davion Mitchell is a stud. He wasn't on the top of my board right there but he was close and I'll take a dominant defender at any position.

 

[Tetsujin]

Are we trading De'Aaron to the Sixers after all?

MEMPHIS TAKING ZIARE AT 10

Sources: Memphis is picking Ziaire Williams at No. 10.

I wanted Bouknight or Sengun, but cool with Mitchell. Mitchell is levels above Moody.

BPA for Monte. I'm good with that.

I like his defensive ability but adding a 6'1" isn't probably the key. Monte honeymood is more than over bud.

 

[miltonap]

Yessssssssss yes yes yes yes yes !!!!!!!! I loooooove Davion Mitchell. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you kings !!!!!!!!! I'm so damn excited. This guy is a winner guys. You'll be pumped

 

[PurpleHaze]

You wanted defense you got defense. Tenacious, cut-throat, stifling, lock down, etc. etc. Great character guy too. Hell of a pick.

 

[dude12]

Like are we trading Fox for Simmons and Hali and Mitchell is the backcourt?

 

[twslam07]

Don’t like it.

Would have gone Moody easily. Better be something else in the works.

 

[The_Jamal]

Yeah something is up. I don't buy we just invested a top 10 pick into a long-term back-up. Someone like Bouknight, Johnson, you could squint and see them on the floor with Fox/Hali. You don't get that with Mitchell.

If this actually sticks, good lord. Rivaling Vlade-esq decision making type of pick.

 

[jiimbob]

Very interesting. Something else up the sleeve.

Or the Kangz being Kangz. You can't tell.

 

[hrdboild]

I'd love to have another pick in the first round right now. I'm pretty sure one of Moses Moody, Jalen Johnson, or Usman Garuba will still be there in the 20s.

 

[Tetsujin]

I think the draft sim machine is broken lol

 

[SLAB]

Or the Kangz being Kangz. You can't tell.

this is always the answer.

Monte likes defense and just put the WORST defensive team in history on the floor. Backup PG isn't the answer but he'll find that out. Walton will love benching Tyrese for this kid though.

 

[Turgenev]

Initially a little disappointed but I'll wait and see how they use him and what he does on the court.

 

[AaronPDX]

Not a knock on Mitchell, but what on earth is happening? This makes ZERO sense.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Ok I didn’t see that coming. I think he helps but I don’t love taking a backup in the top ten. I’ll come around

 

[elshagon]

There has got to be a trade coming right?

 

[206Fan]

I'm not sure about this fit, but Davion Mitchell has star talent. Just watch this breakdown from Mike Schmitz during the tournament

Jalen Suggs vs Davion Mitchell tonight. Quick breakdown on why Mitchell has been so difficult to defend in the NCAA Tournament, which players he resembles, and why I think he’s a top-10 prospect in this draft. pic.twitter.com/Ae2YT7tPmG

[dude12]

Woaaahhhh. Picks 9 and 10 completely out of left field

 

[Dime Dropper]

Don't think anybody saw this coming. I like Mitchell but he wouldn't have been my choice. Let's see if a trade happens.

Interested to see where we go with our second rounders.

 

[Tetsujin]

Just putting this out there in regards to Mitchell….

Jerry Reynolds knew.

[steelevt]

lol memphis could have gotten ziaire with their old pick

 

[Tetsujin]

This is the first time I have legit been shocked by a Kings pick in like ten years.

 

[SacTownKid]

What's new? There are reasons why your franchise is the worst. At least Monte likes defense which is good but what the **** advanced stats are these guys looking at????

Vivek, if you are listening. Maybe not today, probably after the season or next. Go back to Larry Bird on your knees with a blank check. Maybe he'll listen this time.

 

[Sluggah]

This draft has gone off the rails.

what about papa g?
