2019 NBA Draft Thread

[GhostOfPGA]

It’s all planned out...

Knicks - Williamson
Suns - Morant
Cavs - Barrett

With the first pick of the 2019 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks select RJ Barrett from Duke University

Knicks Fans: Booooooooooooooooo

Chuma Okeke, Talen Horton-Tucker or Grant Williams.

Thybulle is interesting, but not sure he'll be good enough offensively. Not a great shooter, ball handler or decision maker. I'd be able to look past that more if he was bigger and stronger, but right now I see him more as a 1/2 defender that doesn't have the size to check the best wing, but can chase shooters and disrupt at the point of attack. Still valuable, but makes him an awkward fit for us. Would look/fit better on a team with a big initiator.

I'm on board with at least the first two guys listed here. Chuma grew on me as I did more research on him, and I think Horton-Tucker is one of the more intriguing players in this draft. I like Thybulle, too, but THT and Chuma have overtaken him on my want list because they have the ability to be good defenders but really good overall complimentary players.

I'm just gonna warn you guys right now. I'm going to rail on anyone who says it's gonna be fixed or was predetermined.

Anyone here thinks that the NBA will give the Knicks the number 1 pick? I still think this lottery is rigged.

The Knicks haven't had a pick higher than 4th since Patrick Ewing. Why all of a sudden would the NBA choose this year to rig the lottery in their favor after years of them being bad?

Love the lottery.

Zion, looming AD trade and some crucial pick protections makes this one super intriguing.

 

[Natebishop3]

The more I watch Zion, the more he reminds me of Larry Johnson.

 

[JDC]

Zion is so damn likable.

Please stay healthy.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I'm hoping Phoenix gets #1.

 

[RR7]

Fucking Lakers into the top 4

 

[B-Roy]

[BigGameDamian]

[Reep]

Please not the L@kers, please not the L@kers.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Fucking Lakers into the top 4

HCP must be happy.

 

[Natebishop3]

I think the lottery should be live. I think it's sketchy that they do it behind closed doors.

 

[DDolla]

RIGGED!!

Yep so rigged and NBA need big markets for Zion

 

[Chris Craig]

Lakers in top 4...this fuckung league

If they get 1st you know the NBA fixed it

2% chance and they are in top 4?

 

[Titan]

Fuck this lottery, rigged for the l*kers

 

[JDC]

If Pelicans gets #1 and convince AD to stay...that's a fun team.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I hate the draft lottery so much, just do it by record.

 

[Reep]

I guess I'm cheering for Memphis?

 

[LayneStaley]

I think we all gotta hope for the Knicks with those 4 left.

 

[DDolla]

The more I watch Zion, the more he reminds me of Larry Johnson.

Or Julius Randle

 

[Chris Craig]

I think the lottery should be live. I think it's sketchy that they do it behind closed doors.

Ditto. Very fucking sketchy

 

[LayneStaley]

Send him East

 

[illmatic99]

[Pinwheel1]

Fuck I knew things were going too well for me regarding the Lakers misery

 

[Reep]

I think we all gotta hope for the Knicks with those 4 left.

Except I don't want him to end up with KD in NYC.

 

[DDolla]

Go Memphis!
