The Official SPOILERS 2022 NBA Draft Thread

[SacTownKid]

I'm not high on him. He's young, so there's that, but the games that I watched, he was a ghost. Big name though.

If used right any player that can peak around pick and rolls and shoot is going to produce though. He's very similar to Maxey IMO. If he can pick his own desitination it might be best for him.

The Athletic mocked Peyton Watson to GSW. Prob because of the Meyers UCLA connection. Please don't pick him, Bob.

 

[Sluggah]

Can somebody please tell me how they chose this clown Kendrick Perkins for this job?

Twitter engagement or the like.

I wonder if the player the Kings wanted to trade back into the first for was Walker Kessler..

Oh daddy what the hell?

Mike Brown leaves and the Warriors immediately take the immobile big guy who does nothing but jack up shots and get confused on defense.

That's a great pick for them. Always thought he would go higher than most assumed.

He definitely will have the best environment around him to develop into the player people thought he would be but...

If so, Queta officially a bust. Koloko and Cockburn still avail though.

Rockets put TyTy out of his misery,

ESPN has not yet accepted that what the Turner crew has created is not something that can be duplicated, so they keep trying to piecemeal a studio crew with outspoken ex-players, in the hope of re-creating the magic of the Inside team. Perkins is just their most recent attempt at a Diet Barkley.

GSW has shown a willingness to bet on physical upside. Meyers has prob spent a ton of time talking to Chip Kelley, who refuses to leverage UCLA's resources in recruiting. Will choose a 6'5 jumbo athlete with a 2 star rating over a 6'1, physically mature 5 star athlete.

Baldwin, Wiggins...jumbo athletes.

To be fair, Wiggins has elite lateral and vertical agility while Patrick Baldwin almost had a negative vert.

True. Though I see a ton of balance in Baldwin's film. Jumping off of either leg, scoring off of either hand...Balance is underrated.

Remember when everyone took a dump on the Raptors for passing on Suggs for Barnes?

 

[SacTownKid]

C'mon Keels, Hardy, and Liddell, keep falling.

No. I had Barnes > Suggs.

 

[Tetsujin]

If I'm Indy, I take Liddell. Knowing them and their current "Blitz em all night" idea, they'll go Hardy though

 

[kb02]

Peyton Watson has a chance to be Trevor Ariza 2.0. That's going to hurt.

 

[Noble]

Kendall Brown would be interesting

Oh.

 

[NewArena]

Bulls say Lavine is signing a max. Now the Knicks are stock piling sign and trade assets. Coincidence? I think not, haha.

They’re aiming even lower than that. They want Brunson lmao Knick fans are fuming

A Murray/Keels draft would actually be two young guys that can come in and potentially really help the team next year.
