Ooooooooh

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Not Cam Whitmore apparently

Ok! Now I got the name if it is picked to yell "Fire Monte".

 

[Tetsujin]

Is Trae done in Atlanta now? Or Murray?

 

[The_Jamal]

Bufkin? What the

I’d say Murray

Nah Whitmore was someone who projected to be top 10 and has been falling. It would be close to impossible to get him at #24 before tonight.

 

[Tetsujin]

Gotta tell ya. I liked Bufkin but I did NOT see him going ahead of Whitmore

 

[The_Jamal]

I like Bufkin, hate this landing spot. He's not a guy I'd want flexing down to the 3

 

[iowamcnabb]

I wonder if the dick pick makes an OG less likely. They don’t need velvet now

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Utah has to take the chance on Cam with Hendricks already in the bag, right?

GREAT DRAFT BY UTAH

WOuld be silly not to.

rumor has it Murray is gone

He had some serious injury?

Them passing on Bufkin or Keyonte means they might really need Davion though.

Atlanta sneakily has little guard depth.

Bogdan is always hurt and I get the feeling they'll move on from Trae and/or DeJounte sooner than most expect.

 

[Tetsujin]

If Keyonte pans out, that Jazz starting lineup might be really freaking good.

 

[sactowndog]

All these guards going helps us with possibly getting a wing

Bad for the Kings. I love their moves. Keyonte gives them another dynamic shooter

 

[Tetsujin]

A wing is going to be guaranteed to be at 24 at this point. Only question is if it'll be one of the young upside swings or a guy like Kris.

 

[KainLear]

He had some serious injury?

Yeah he was injured for each of the first seven games of his college years due to a thumb injury. Also at time struggle with his shooting and intensity.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

So the Lakers come in with #17 and have Cam Whitmore on the board?

 

[iowamcnabb]

Cam doesn’t make sense for any of the next teams. The Blazers are the next fit. Are we or someone else trading up with Houston?

 

[The_Jamal]

So let's make a little big board here of talent left:

Whitmore
Hood-Schifino
Clowney
Podz
Murray
Whitehead
O-Max
Sensabaugh
Leonard Miller
Jacquez Jr.
Max Lewis

Lots and lots of talent for the Kings

 

[KainLear]

Would any of you have a problem if we take Kris at #24?

 

[Tetsujin]

Don't think they'll take a young prospect. Kris might go here.

Hood-Schifino also low-key starting to slide too.

I like the Bufkin fit in Atlanta. Gives them a good backup PG and he can also play next to Trae. I don’t think the Hawks have many weaknesses on their team outside of health
