With the 9th overall pick, the San Antonio Spurs select Darius Bazley

The Cleveland Cavaliers are now on the clock with the 10th pick of the evening (@UKRAINEFAN).

 

[JDC]

Damn, get your guy Totured.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Sorry, had to go into the garden and weed; tension too much. Cavs take CobyWhite

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

That's the guy I wanted.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Damn, get your guy Totured.

I totally admit that's probably a few picks early, I think he could be Kawhi Leonard esque with Pops and his crew coaching him up though. Well, rounded skill set, excellent defender, raw but all the athletic tools are there. I had a suspicion he would go in the teens and was just trying to figure out how to get him before someone else did.

 

[JDC]

Colin Sexton and Coby White

Pick #11 is now up and belongs to the New Orleans Pelicans (@Chris Craig).

Yup. I like it.

A lot of Bazley fans in here too so totally get your reasoning.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Colin Sexton and Coby White

Yeh, I realize that but we'll work it out.

 

[hoopsjock]

I did a similar type game in a Detroit Forum (that basically has no rules, lol) and Bazley went 35th.

Edit: This was earlier today so it's not like it wasn't recent or anything. I think the Blazer fans are single-handedly bumping up his value.

He wasn't on my radar much until all the posts in the official draft stuff and I started watching video's and was like this dude can play! Admittedly that wasn't "elite of the elite" competition.

It's because we really are the best fans in the NBA!

nbadraft.net has him going 51st

 

[hoopsjock]

@Chris Craig is sooooooo impatient waiting for other people but is taking his time here, lol.

 

[James lamphear]

I like Bazley but I wouldn't pick him that high. Late 1st or early 2nd.

 

[Chris Craig]

People keep taking my guys...I gotta think here

 

[Chris Craig]

With the 11th pick in the Rip City Two NBA Draft, the Pelicans take Rui Hachimura

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Colin Sexton and Coby White

Here is a discussion of that (which I didn't read ahead of time!); doesn't really answer it. But at #10 to get a tall point guard who might be the fastest guy in the draft with a lot of defensive potential, I felt it was best choice. I am heavy with power forwards and centers.https://cavsnation.com/could-collin-sexton-coexist-with-coby-white-on-the-cavs/

 

[hoopsjock]

We are now to our 12th selection, which means the Charlotte Hornets (@joeBlazers) are on the clock.

 

[BonesJones]

nbadraft.net has him going 51st

nbadraft.net sucks for mock drafts

 

[BonesJones]

With the 9th overall pick, the San Antonio Spurs select Darius Bazley

Damn! Haha.

 

[BonesJones]

If we could get Joe to draft we could get to #18 pretty quickly.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

People keep taking my guys...I gotta think here

C'mon, you been telling us for days you got your "draft board".

 

[Chris Craig]

C'mon, you been telling us for days you got your "draft board".

Oh I did/do...Just had to decide between 3 guys...what the best fit was for the team

 

[hoopsjock]

The Memphis Grizzlies are open to trading the 13th pick if anyone is interested.

 

[Chris Craig]

If we could get Joe to draft we could get to #18 pretty quickly.

He was here earlier about 6pm

 

[BonesJones]

He was here earlier about 6pm

And now he's gone.

Little bit more on Sexton and White co-existing:
"while drafting White seems like Cleveland is already giving up on Sexton, that could not be further from the truth. Instead, it would be a huge benefit to the growth and development of the Cavalier youngster.

Despite Sexton putting up a handful of assists for the Cavaliers last season, there is some concern internally that his overall court vision will not develop. This means long term he cannot be Cleveland's lead guard and instead may be better suited off as either a two guard or as the team's sixth man. "
