Exclusive Official 2017 NBA Draft Thread

[Strenuus]

Monk reminds me of Barton.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Why the hate? He is going to be proper good.

Yeh, I'm OK with it. Seems like he is the guy we wanted and the price was fair.

 

[Strenuus]

2012. People are digging up these tweets and retweeting them

I know it said 2012... but I was wondering why he said that in October.

 

[Natebishop3]

So is the PG trade dead at this point?

 

[riverman]

He's a really skilled kid...watched a bunch of Gonzaga games....smart...good touch, good looking shot...he didn't start or play big minutes for the Zags so he must have impressed the hell out of Neil

JR Smith.

Aside from the white/big hate, Collins is a fantastic pick. He is a very good defender and plays the PF, not center position. Best defensive rating in the draft.

Okay, okay - I'm liking this. Even if he plays behind Vonleh, he still fills a need...and perhaps he becomes a starter eventually. Goodbye Aminu - you aren't needed or wanted!

who knows

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

So, you would like a great defensive power forward who has post moves and rebounds well, but if he can it the three too then he is out? Not sure I get that.

I don't get it either. Collins makes his threes, Myers doesn't.

 

[Strenuus]

LOL Silver. hahahaha.

 

[EGame]

So is the PG trade dead at this point?

Doubt it was alive to begin with, really.

 

[B-Roy]

Utah trades for 13 and picks Donovan Mitchell.

 

[Cippy91]

I just don't feel good about the direction of the Blazers. It feels endless. No moves made just trying to rely on younger talent. As of now it looks like more of Dame, CJ, and Nurk trying to carry. The fucking wolves are better than us right now I would say. July 1st, Neil better do something man

 

[Sarni]

God I hope OG is available there at 26. If not then Ferguson.

OG and Collins would be perfection.

 

[Reep]

My #1 wish in this draft was Isaac. Given we couldn't get him ZCollins was #2. Nobody we picked at 15 or 20 was going to start next year. All the draft pick equivalency calculators I saw said that 15+20 wouldn't get you more than 10. I think we got lucky. If the Laimbeer comparison is accurate then I will be very happy.

We got a guy who could start at PF and can also backup center.

 

[B-Roy]

People still hoping for a big name trade to Portland.

Stop. It's not happening.

 

[Strenuus]

Kennard will be a broadcaster someday.

 

[Cippy91]

 

[B-Roy]

Hopefully we can snag Giles at 26.

 

[B-Roy]

Trey Lyles was a lotto pick two years ago. Utah gave two firsts just to grab Mitchell.

 

[Strenuus]

One pick and a player for a pick.

LEARN, NEIL.

 

[THE HCP]

Does the spoiler free thread know about Collins yet?

 

[H.C.]

Guess this means Utah will be paying Favors.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Monk reminds me of Barton.

He's a rich mans Barton or a poor man's Crawford.

 

[illmatic99]

I really liked Lyles. He's a good pf prospect next to jokic

 

[Nate]

I miss that dude! Ironically, he's probably in jail.

Gotta get that street cred up.

 

[Nate]

He's a rich mans Barton or a poor man's Crawford.

I completely disagree. Monk is legit.

 

[Cippy91]

 

[Strenuus]

I like Mitchell a lot.

 

[B-Roy]

One pick and a player for a pick.

LEARN, NEIL.

Leonard, Turner, and Crabbe aren't worth anything.
