2021 NBA Draft Superthread

[Tetsujin]

Cam Thomas comes off the board at No. 27, meaning no disastrously long waits for any player in the Green Room this year. Good work by the NBA.

Warriors just accumulating big, long wing players. Meanwhile we’re drafting 6’2” PGs with three PGs on the roster already (Fox, Halliburton, & Wright)

Big and long doesn’t mean they’ll be big and good. Let’s see. There are a lot more Anthony Randolphs and Rodney Hoods than Kevin Durant’s out here

Sources: 76ers, No. 28: Jaden Springer.

If I am being completely honest I don’t think he will be a King for long

His jersey is already for sale on the team store. My bet is he is here to stay.

I'm nabbing that. It'll be my first Kings jersey

[Section 101]

As @wojespn just said on TV, it does not appear in canvassing the league there will be any Ben Simmons trade tonight -- or that the Sixers are close to one. We'll see how long this lingers.

i honestly think vivek misread his name and thought we were drafting donovan mitchell and made monte do it.

I realize you all are salty but Mitchell is good.

 

[Section 101]

With the 39th pick the Sacramento Kings select Jared Butler, PG Baylor.

 

[Tetsujin]

After the Landry Shamet trade to Phoenix, Nets are picking at No. 29 and Day'Ron Sharpe is the focus on Sean Marks' draft board, per source.

[Turgenev]

Will Isaiah Todd at 39? Or Brandon Boston Jnr?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I would love Todd at #39, be pretty happy with Boston. Also could deal with Bleijenbergh.

 

[steelevt]

Kings will probably trade the #9 pick tonight.
Kings will probably trade buddy tonight.
Kings will probably trade Bagley tonight.

All Lies

To be fair, there haven't been many player trades tonight. Lots of draft movement but no player moves aside from the Westbrook one.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Fox and Buddy for Simmons and Thybulle +28 if that's what we're doing.

Throw in a future pick I could probably deal I'd cry for a few days but I'd deal.

"per source"

Wonder if that was added after Shams got him twice today?

 

[NewArena]

He who dies with the most picks wins, is that the rule?

Thunder better hope so

It seems like the Kings almost never make trades on draft day.

On the rare occasion they do we end up with Jimmer and John Salmons.

 

[Sluggah]

4 people chose correctly in the poll. Congrats to them?

 

[Entity]

We could always get herb Jones. Definite defensive wing. Can’t shoot worth a damn. Hmm actually is a lot like Simmons

 

[Letsgokings13]

Memphis has the right idea. Can we do SOMETHING about getting another pick?

I have zero idea about the rest of these prospects

 

[Tetsujin]

Sharife's bad measurements really dropping him,
