[Rastapopoulos]

Timothe Luwawu should also go first round. Let's have a MAJORITY INTERNATIONAL FIRST ROUND!!!!!

This draft is hilarious. Sac HAS to be the most consistently horrible team at drafting.

Here are their last six picks:

Willie Cauley-Stein at #6
Nike Stauskas at #8
Ben McLemore at #7
Ray McCallum at #36
Thomas Robinson at #5
Orlando Johnson at #36

 

[illmatic99]

#19 was the pick Den got from us

 

[illmatic99]

Man, we coulda had Skal @ 19 if we didn't go after Afflalo

 

[MickZagger]

Everybody in the Ellenson family has a crew cut.

 

[JDC]

Givony going off right now lol.

 

[MickZagger]

Man, we coulda had Skal @ 19 if we didn't go after Afflalo

Skal isn't that great. Not a big loss.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Ellenson is basically the player they wanted when they traded for Motiejunas

 

[tester551]

Givony going off right now lol.

What's he saying?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Seriously, Minny, Denver and OKC do seem to have improved A LOT today...

 

[blue9]

Skal isn't that great. Not a big loss.

Probably could have packaged the pick with Aminu/Plumlee/Davis for a higher pick or even pick + player.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Watching those videos of Ellenson; I know it's against college guys but he just looks a lot more fluid than Leonard.

 

[bradk8605]

Neil Olshey: Please channel you inner Chuck Norris

 

[MickZagger]

Malcolm Brogdan is going to be a nice pick for somebody.

 

[JDC]

Man. As underwhelming as Skal was last year, he's great value at this point in the draft. He's not getting past BKN though so Neil better pounce if he wants him.

 

[Natebishop3]

I swear you guys that know ever. fucking. scrub. in the draft only do it so you can come back later and be like, "I knew that guy was going to be good!"

Cauley-Stein is still a very good pick, everybody loved T-Rob and McLemore at the time, the picks in the 30s don't count, so really it's only Stauskas. And hey, given that the expected picks turned out bad, why not go unexpected?

Or hell, even Luwau

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

You heard it here first: I guarantee a Blazers trade.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Sometime in the future after this very moment.

 

[JDC]

Beasley has to be on the move, they don't need another sg.

 

[Duckhook]

Sometime in the future after this very moment.

Any chance the Blazers go after Sabonis tonight?

 

[illmatic99]

DEN has Murray, Gary Harris, Beasley, and our boy Willy at SG.

 

[Mediocre Man]

As of tonight, Portland has taken a step back in their division

 

[JDC]

Wow. It just does not stop...Nets better hope he stays healthy.

 

[BonesJones]

Cmon Olshey... Trade into the draft for Luwawu or Skal

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Sounds like the Jimmy Butler-to-Wolves trade may be dying.

 

[BonesJones]

As of tonight, Portland has taken a step back in their division

Lol how???

 

[MickZagger]

As of tonight, Portland has taken a step back in their division

You think these rookies are going to come in their first year and be needle movers?
