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

[CyJack13]

THT’s fall is bad but Bol Bol’s is so much worse.

I just don’t see how Bol Bol can defend in today’s NBA. I wouldn’t take anything more than a late second round flyer on him, which seems to be what most GMs think too

For the draft aficionados here, I'm curious to see your top "draft steals" after round 2 is complete, maybe top 5 if you want. (I have no clue how to assess such a thing).

Sadly he turns 19 and will most likely be on an NBA roster with a great shot at getting minutes this year. How rough.

Steve Prohm just won too. He can take the “my guy THT plays with LeBron” on the road recruiting. You can love him or hate him but these young guys idolize LeBron.

That would be one of the stupidest recruiting tactics I’ve ever heard.

I watched the hoks play them and thought he was horrible. Saw him a few other times too and wasn’t impressed. I think as recently as a few weeks ago he was still 10-15 in some mocks.

I'll go on record saying he never makes a meaningful contribution in the NBA.

Have to agree. Cheering for Bol Bol to have success, but think he’s out of the NBA fast.

This draft is taking longer than normal it feels.

He doesn’t need to defend in today’s NBA. He needs to defend in what the NBA is 2-3 years from now. I think it’s a another tremendous 2nd rd pick for the Nuggets.

It’s not gonna get slower.

So Prohm shouldn’t promote his former player playing in LA with the second best player ever that just so happens to be a lot of young guys’ idol?

It wouldn't be the first recruiting card I'd choose to play, that's for sure.

Agree. Probably because that arena is dead. Bring in more kids.

[CloneGuy8]

Shayok sneaking in ala Nader...nice

 

[CTTB78]

Very happy Shayok. "Moves to Iowa State and blossomed as a scorer".

 

[mynameisjonas]

Nice Shayok drafted ahead of Guy.
