NFT: Almost 24 hours out: what are your hot takes for NBA draft?

giantsfan44ab : 6/20/2018 10:31 pm
Get them out here and now. Don’t want this to be much of a discussion thread, just post your lukewarm to piping hot takes on here. Want to claim you know more than everyone else because you said the Knicks should’ve drafted Mitchell? Put them on here. And no “I think [insert 2nd round projected prospect] is going to be a useful 18-22 mpg player]”. Just hot takes. If you think a sleeper will be a star, that’s fine. Or top prospects who will bust. Nothing boring like “Ayton will be very good” either.

Admittedly I’ve watched the least amount of college ball in years, but have followed the top-ish prospects. Here are mine:

Bagley: I think he will be an empty calories player. He might average 20 and 10 but he will be more like Greg Monroe. I think it will ultimately be hard for a team to win with him as a center piece due to his lack of defense and consistent shooting.

Carter and Sexton : both will end up as top 5 players from this draft.

Young: similar to Bagley but I think he will be a high level 6th man rather than Steph curry due to 0 defense and lack of athleticism.


Know or Porter to the Knicks

Most likely Knox

He any good?

I'd prefer to roll the dice on Porters back

But turns into all star player.
What ever the Lakers do they will fuck it up

The Buss children have ruined this Franchise.

3 straight 2nd overall picks and we get not a franchise player of the 3. One of hem is not even with the team anymore.

they made up for those picks with kuzma
I think Doncic goes first.

Everyone has Ayton pegged for PHO, but Doncic is CLEARLY the best player in the draft (season and finals MVP in a league far tougher than NCAA - at 18 years old!). I think PHO knows that.
You can't get a franchise player  
JonC : 6/21/2018 9:31 am : link
when one isn't in the draft(s).
That said  
JonC : 6/21/2018 9:33 am : link
the Buss offspring, and the CBA which was designed to stop the Lakers, have certainly knocked the franchise down a few pegs.

But, that could being to change more visibly in ten days.

I say this with the upmost respect and please don't take offense, but STFU! Nobody wants to hear Lakers fans whining about mismanagement or bad luck.

Ingram was really good last season, took big strides at only 20 years old. Maybe isn't a franchise player but could certainly be an all star.

Wtf are you talking about? Lonzo's the 2nd best player in the league after Lebron!

- Lavar

jk - Lebron should be fetching Lonzo's water
The steal of the draft...  
bw in dc : 6/21/2018 9:50 am : link
will be Omari Spellman.

The best player will be Bagley. And it won’t be close.
Doncic will be a stud.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/21/2018 9:58 am : link
& Trae Young will be out of the league in 5 years.

Today's NBA rules are tailor made for Young. If he can't succeed at some decent level than it's a big bust...
