I was just about to make a comment about the elder Knecht being harshed in this draft. Apparently I am now a Lakers fan.

Go Lakers!

I'm on the Matas train, let's go

I'm shocked he was still available. As a Bulls fan, I try not to get too excited at any one point lol

packman80 · 06-26-2024, 09:35 PM

Bucks F- grade for pick at 23. Jon Horst is a inept GM.

Trae punching the Great Clips receptionist rn.

Such a Hawnks move. Slickdeals unicorn falls into your lap and you opt for Cam Johnson with bunnies. Big SMH.

Hoping Fakers do the right thing and swoop Bronny in the 2nd. One of the genuinely nicest kids I've seen. Impossible to tell he's the direct descendent of Pol Pot.

ninjacookies · 06-26-2024, 09:59 PM

Oh, and Knicks planting their flag for that 2nd spot in the Yeast next year, which is completely open for the taking. Russian Michael isn't a game changer, but a very nice upgrade if you can ditch Randle for any kind of return value.

Unfortunately it's still a distant second due to Boston having a backcourt fully capable of shutting down NY's primary shooters. And not vice versa.

No. This is when you go all in on your dark horse pick when prices tank, as Wemby took everyone's allowance.

Wolves killing the draft

oldgoldy97 · 06-26-2024, 10:08 PM

Wolves winning this draft.

Probably suck in 2030-2031 but live in the now, right?

49ersSF · 06-26-2024, 10:37 PM

24 hours early on your post..

Back when I was a kid, when if a player left after SOPHOMORE year it was news, I knew every 1st round pick by name.

Now I only recognized Learch out of Purdue in the 1st round.

Sad

Sad that you don't pay enough attention to know the players?

Some of that is what do you pay attention to? NCAA, G League, OTE, overseas, high school, combine results, YouTube videos? It used to be college and maybe a kid trying to make the jump. Now unless you do advanced scouting yourself you don’t really know a lot of them.

JRX · 06-27-2024, 08:15 AM

When did they move the NBA draft to two nights? I kept checking picks and was thinking what's taking so long.
