NBA: *** Official NBA Draft Thread ***

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Might as well get this started.

Hopefully a Cyclone or two gets drafted. Most likely won't happen until the second round but stranger things have happened in the NBA.

I see Zion Williamson is being sued for $100 million already. Apparently he signed a contract with a marketing agency right after he declared and then decided to go with another agency a month later. He says the first contract was unlawful in North Carolina.. I guess we'll need the court to determine that.

Don't think we will hear THT's name called until late this evening, but one never knows. I'm a huge Ja Morant fan and its a bummer he going to Memphis. Would love to see him play for the Knicks. Ja and New York seems like a natural fit.

If I was a fan of a certain player I'd never wish they got picked up by the Knicks.

That team will be a dumpster fire as long as Dolan owns it.

I’ve got a feeling Talen will go late first round today. I’ve heard it’s highly unlikely he falls below 40 at least.

Going to eat dinner, vape some herb. Then kick back, watch THT go in the 1st, and hope for trade chaos.

The Hawks are turning this thing around in a hurry. Essentially traded Doncic for Trae Young and this year's 10th which I think is going to work out for both teams. They'll have a nice bunch of young talent with:

PG - Young
SG - Huerter
SF - Hunter
PF - Collins

Plus the 10th pick this year.

In addition, their cap situation is looking gorgeous with nice, expiring contracts for Bazemore, Plumlee, and Hill, and nobody on anything but a rookie contract starting next year.

I assume Minnesota wants one of the PGs.

Twitter ruins everything.

I heard on the radio today that 538 has THT as one of the best prospects in this class

Numero Ocho. Looking at some of the player comps, I'm not sure how good this system is..

who are the hawks targeting at 4? A lot of people like Garland but I believe Young is better at PG. Culver would be a nice fit next to Young and Collins.

Hunter, apparently. Essentially a replacement for Prince.

hunter screams bust to me but we'll see. I'd take Culver over him.

Rumored to take Garland, if he's there.

 

[Cyched]

Hopefully the scouts read 538 and Talen gets himself paid tonight.

 

[TomTreebow]

I could see THT going to NoLa with all the picks they now have. With all their picks they'll have some shots to take a player or two who they can wait to develop. They'll be an exciting team going forward with tons of youth. Although, I bet they'll try to turn at least a pick of theirs into future assets.

 

[CTTB78]

How long we will have to wait tonight for ESPN to pimp John Calipari?

T-Wolves would love to rid themselves of Jeff Teague.
