Exclusive 2023 NBA Draft

[PDXFonz]

With the first pick in the 2023 NBA draft, the San Antonio Spurs select…

 

[JDC]

...Viktor Krhyapenyama

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Scoot Henderson.

Nah. I told my kids that if anyone but Wemby goes first I’d give them each $1,000.

 

[Whyachi]

I heard Miller is 6'8"-6'9"

clearly way too tall to be a Blazer

Scoot & Amen meet the max height allowed in Portland

 

[wizenheimer]

what time does teh ACTUAL draft start? I don't need 30 minutes of SAS and Bilas blowing gas

 

[maxiep]

I would love to find out some of the ridiculous offers being made to SA for that pick right now.

I see the official time listed as 5pm but I also see times of 4:30 which may mean 30 minutes of flatulence.

 

[BassPlaya]

Every time a team selects a tall player.....have a straight shot!

Supposedly Adam Silver will walk to the podium moments after 8pm, say some stuff and then put the Spurs on the clock. Luckily someone on here told me I wouldn't have to listen to Steph A. dumbass if I tuned in to ESPN instead of ABC.

You think the Spurs would actually field any?

Do you buy the Wembenyama hype?

Yeah ESPN has 30 minutes before the actual event and supposedly once it starts at 5 Silver will go to the podium moments later.

I buy it I've watched a bunch of video on him and seen like 5 of his games on the NBA app. The dude is so good at everything and when he moves he doesn't look like he's going to break, he's fluid. Just an absolute freak and there are a ton of good reasons that he's being called the best prospect since LeBron.

 

[wizenheimer]

after all of the chatter and they-will/they-won't-he-will/he-won't angst & confusion over the last 3 months, I honestly have no idea what to expect from Portland this afternoon, tonight, tomorrow, and July. No fucking clue...no expectations

I suppose that's a good place to be to watch the draft

 

[PDXFonz]

Since I probably won’t be here during the draft…

Some place, some where, some chicken is really proud.

You just know that if he ends up being the Blazers’ pick we’re going to find out later he’s only 6’5 but plays with 3” lifts.

No, I don't think they'd consider it for a second. However, you know there were calls to them.

And yes, I believe every word of it. Furthermore, he couldn't have gone to a better organization to bring out all the talent he has. Beyond Pop, you have TD teaching him. Even the Tony Parker French link seems serendipitous.

For us out-of-towners, which Portland sports radio station is the best one to listen to for Blazer NBA predraft?

620AM would be the most Blazer-focused, but their guys can be unbearable at times. 1080 guys are most professional, but often too smug for their own good.

Thank you!

 

[Shaboid]

I'll be on my commute home. Any suggestion on where to listen in? I guess I can just find a stream on my phone and cast that...

I know people don't like Marang... but I can't listen to Dwight Jaynes. This is why we don't allow grandpa to live stream.

I also just don't have any respect for the lack of research they do. Basic shit. They don't do their jobs. When we drafted Sharpe they were basically like.... who? Like.... how do you not spend a couple hours watching some scouting videos? Other people have done the work for you! Just fucking hit play.

It's so lazy.

And Chad once called fans who spent the time to understand the CBA a bunch of nerds. Again... that's your fucking job! You let a bunch of amateurs know more than you. That's not something to flex on.

 

[Irish Trader]

If Lively is still around it sure would be nice to make some kind of deal with Orlando to get him at 11 in the draft. Orlando with two picks might take 23 and give a player or players to them

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't know why we have to go through the theater of San Antonio going on the clock.

They have been on the clock for a month.

The commissioner should just walk out, welcome us to the 2023 draft, and say that the Spurs are picking Wemby. It's a total waste of time.

 

[rotary111]

Brandon Miller with the black and red checker suit.

I'm sure it's nothing...

When he walks out he will say welcome to the WEWBA draft.

Scoot, Miller, Lively:

 

[PDXFonz]

Imagine if he hadn’t announced the Morant suspension.

Hes like “we don’t want it to take away from this series”. Then walks up on draft night and says “Welcome to the 2023 NBA draft, as you know we have been talking about Ja Morant….”

 

[Natebishop3]

Scoot, Miller, Lively:

Hey! Scoot is gonna be the 4th amigo!

 

[JDC]

Woj on SC says he's hearing that Miller is still the favorite at #2

 

[crandc]

The real issue is not who Blazers draft but whether they trade the pick and for whom.
