Event 2022 NBA Draft Thread

Holy shit 3 1st round picks for 11?

 

[B-Roy]

How many picks would OKC have given us for 7?

 

[Chris Craig]

DEN picks Christian Braun with #21

 

[Mediocre Man]

Pics?

My favorite mom so far is Dyson Daniels

Not sure. She came out with him to start the draft

Fischer says Denver could have reneged on a promise to Moore here.

 

[B-Roy]

Huh

 

[Quatro44]

Trying to understand the rationale for the Knicks moves this year.

They got 3 first round picks, but with conditions. Hahaha.

 

[Natebishop3]

Huh

That’s horrible.

 

[MickZagger]

Okay Christian Braun got a 1st round spot because of his mom

 

[MickZagger]

Braun was never even on my radar watching him in college

 

[B-Roy]

So the Knicks actually got 3 1sts for 11 basically. One of them is the 2025 Milwaukee 1st. The other two are conditional firsts from OKC. OKC had Denver's 2023 pick which went in the deal but routed to Charlotte.

Maybe Charlotte is the one that got fleeced.

 

[illmatic99]

Braun was never even on my radar watching him in college

didn't watch the final four games?

 

[Chris Craig]

MEM trading #22 to MIN Per earlier trade

 

[Chris Craig]

MEM picks Walker Kessler with #22

Headed to MIN

 

[illmatic99]

Damn, Sixers traded 23 to Memphis for Melton.

 

[B-Roy]

Damn, Sixers traded 23 to Memphis for Melton.

Guess that means no Gordon. And thus no Thybulle for us.

 

[DDolla]

Nicola Jovic still out there

 

[B-Roy]

Hold up, Memphis had 22 and 29, traded them for 19 to reach for Jake LaRavia, then dealt Melton for 23. So they took two firsts anyways, but probably could have kept 29 and traded it for some future seconds at least.

 

[Idog1976]

I’m pro Jovic AND his mom

Ok I'll bite. Picture? Last time a mom wowed was Doncic. Also I want Jovic at 23 with Thybulle that would be a helluva get!

 

[B-Roy]

Memphis trades Melton and drafts his replacement immediately. Some smart maneuvering.

 

[Chris Craig]

PHI Trades 23rd pick to MEM for De'Anthony Melton -

 

[Chris Craig]

PHI picks David Roddy with #23

 

[MickZagger]

Hmmm there’s been some interesting picks

 

[illmatic99]

Sixers sending Danny Green to Memphis too, but I dunno if they still did enough to open up the full MLE for Tucker.

 

[Predator]

With Memphis draft history it’s hard to question them but this is a really, really horrible draft from afar lol

 

[MickZagger]

The Italian kid is still available

 

[TBpup]

Roddy jumped a TON!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

PHI picks David Roddy with #23

I guess he's a hefty shooting guard, so if you can't get Eric Gordon...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Roddy jumped a TON!

Which is kind of ironic, given his probably jumping ability at that weight

 

[MickZagger]

Sixers sending Danny Green to Memphis too, but I dunno if they still did enough to open up the full MLE for Tucker.

Green is the ultimate journeyman sheesh
