I never said I was right!

 

[BonesJones]

Absolutely, my response was to Bones saying the top 7 are steals. I'd put it at 5 personally. That doesn't mean I only like 5 players but I'd put Garland and Reddish in the next tier.

Eh, I think those players are more talented then the usually quality of player drafted around 5-7. There's quite a drop off after that.

 

[BonesJones]

What do I know though, I'm one of the 1% that isn't on the Zion hype train. He's gonna be a solid player and should go #1, especially since he'll keep fans interested in New Orleans after they trade Davis, but I'm on record as saying he won't ever be an MVP type level or top-10 type player in the NBA. Probably stupid I know.

I agree with you though. I still think Ja Morant is the #1 player in this draft.

 

[James lamphear]

When you guys said this going be slow but didn't expect turtle slow.

 

[BonesJones]

Who's "Camerin Reddish"

 

[BonesJones]

When you guys said this going be slow but didn't expect turtle slow.

It's probably going to be a multi-day thing. The first 7 picks were fast. Now we're waiting on @KeepOnRollin

You think there is any chance New Orleans passes on Zion, drafts Morant, and keeps Davis?

@SwissBlazer check your in box.

Interesting.

Expecting Horford to opt out and I don't plan to resign Rozier

Goal was to go young with players with high IQ / passing instincts at every position.

Will fill back-up forward and PG spots through draft/FA. Converting Dozier's two-way contract as well.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Man, Lakers trying hard to make themselves a non hate-able team. How is Lamar gonna handle the Boston winters? LOL.

Lonzo?

 

[Orion Bailey]

Lonzo?

No, his dad. It will be so cold he will be inside al the time as the "new face" of the franchise. lol. All be it, he has mellowed in the last 6 months or so, but a new location, I think, will spawn the old to come out again.

Horfod opting out of a $30M contract? I doubt it!

 

[JDC]

Lonzo?

I think he meant Lavar

 

[JDC]

Horfod opting out of a $30M contract? I doubt it!

He's old, coming off a great year and has an injury history. I think he's also in win now mode.

A lot of teams with max slots as well.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him try and cash in on one more lucrative long-term deal.

 

[BonesJones]

 

[Orion Bailey]

Yes sir. Thanks,

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Next up with pick #8 is the Philadelphia 76ers (@KeepOnRollin).

Sekou Doumbouya

 

[hoopsjock]

The 76ers have taken Sekou Doumbouya.

The Washington Wizards who have been very quiet this off season are now on the clock with pick #9 (@PtldPlatypus).

 

[Chris Craig]

Sekou Doumbouya

I was going to take him at 11

Not how the draft works, he he.

Oh I know...hence my draft board.
