Event 2018 NBA Draft

[glazeduck]

No. Don’t think he even worked out for the team.

He didn't. The only contact we had with him throughout the draft process was an interview with out sports psychologist.

Look how tall Doncic is. And how short Young's pants are.

Hope we don't draft a guy in a bow tie...

 

[BBert]

Haha. Atlanta can't possibly be that dumb.

 

[Reep]

Unless we do something big, I want Huerter.

 

[dviss1]

There were whispers of Collins on this board before the draft last year. Just sayin

Did I mention Collins? Whispers on this board doesn't mean anything.

 

[illmatic99]

Absolutely. A free swing at a superstar? Without question. Even if you have to sit him all next year, you do it.

It ain't free

 

[Rastapopoulos]

MPJ dropping all the way down to 12 in some of these mocks has my mouth watering.

Is "mouth watering" what happens when you're about to throw up a little?

 

[dviss1]

No. Don’t think he even worked out for the team.

Which is exactly what I'm saying. WE were whispering about Collins. I don't remember NO saying one word about him and he didn't even have him in for a work out...

 

[Reep]

Impressed with Mo Bamba interview. He is going to be very popular.

Knox would be a lovely pick up.

 

[dviss1]

Not sure why folks are clamoring for him. Doesn't look like he can do anything but shoot.

[BBert]

Dude should have said that in the first place.

 

[Stevenson]

There were whispers of Collins on this board before the draft last year. Just sayin

There were whispers of John Collins, not Zack Collins.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Yay!


But Atlanta just seems a bad place for Doncic to end up. No fanbase.

 

[Reep]

His shot is robotic out to Dame range, he is an excellent passer and can penetrate better than anyone we have not named Dame or CJ. He looks to me like everything we hoped Crabbe would be.

 

[Scalma]

Did I mention Collins? Whispers on this board doesn't mean anything.

It obviously meant something. I believe the trade up was called as well.

 

[Scalma]

No it was Zach. I believe it was @TBpup on it.

 

[riverman]

Yay!

Atlanta is the greyhound bus stop of the NBA

 

[Reep]

There were whispers of John Collins, not Zack Collins.

I posted it above, but there was a report that Olshey was at a Gonzaga game scouting Zach. I thought there was more too, but nobody thought he could get up high enough to draft him.

 

[Propagandist]

This is not true st all. When Plums was traded this whole forum was shocked.

I don't remember hearing about the Afflalo deal early either and I'm in here daily.

Links or it didn't happen.

And I misspoke about the Nurk "deal" being known. We were just mentioned as a potential destination in a number of places... here's one example:

https://www.foxsports.com/nba/story...ams-that-should-trade-for-jusuf-nurkic-012117

and as well as on blazersedge etc. And the Zach Collins thing is above and elsewhere, so I'm claming 2/3 veracity on my original statement.

 

[Scalma]

Which is exactly what I'm saying. WE were whispering about Collins. I don't remember NO saying one word about him and he didn't even have him in for a work out...

We weren’t picking in the lottery. It probably wasn’t Portland’s call.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Boo!

 

[Scalma]

Boo!

Lol what a dumb “report.”

 

[dviss1]

Really??? Weak SAUCE...

NBA GMs go to college games. It's what they do.

Did HE say something?? Nope...

 

[dviss1]

His shot is robotic out to Dame range, he is an excellent passer and can penetrate better than anyone we have not named Dame or CJ. He looks to me like everything we hoped Crabbe would be.

I'm good... Looks meh to me.

Unathletic and anemic on D...

 

[BBert]

Lol what a dumb “report.”

 

[dviss1]

By us... No mention from Neil.

This is my point and you don't seem to be refuting it.

 

[Scalma]

But why are we even wasting time talking about what was or wasn’t reported? All one needs to do is watch/read about DiVincenzo to know he falls right in line with what Olshey is looking for. Neil isn’t a tough nut to crack.
