Exclusive The "I can't believe we didn't take that guy" thread

[Natebishop3]

Who you picking? Who will be this year's Giannis? Who will we look back on and say "we were fucking morons for not taking that guy."

 

[illmatic99]

isn't this a thread for Friday?

 

[Natebishop3]

Tell me if there's someone else and I'll add them.

 

[Mediocre Man]

This should be a very lopsided poll

I’ll take things said in a male strip club during The HCPs set for $500, Alex

Nah, let's get a jump on it.

 

[RonBrewer]

The Center from Memphis. He's gonna have a very nice, long career.

Also, if he's there. Walker Kessler in the second round. First round talent. Great defensive big and can stretch the floor.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I have said it from the beginning and I have little to base it on but my gut I just feel that in a few years a lot teams are going to regret passing on Duren. But I get the hesitation based upon what they see now, especially if we are drafting at 7.

 

[illmatic99]

My vote is for Johnny Davis. I think people are forgetting his tenacity on defense and his rebounding and focusing on his 3pt shooting. He was solid to start the year but tapered down his efficiency with more focus from defenses. But he was also hurt to close the season, so I think his shooting woes are overstated.

but we might end up with the guy. hard to do this before knowing the results of the draft

 

[oldmangrouch]

Pick only one? Most, if not all, of those guys will be on the board at 7 and at least half of them will be better than Grant.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Michael.

Fucking.

Jordan.


FAMS!!

Hear a lot of B-Roy comps, which I’d love to see (whether we draft him or not). We were robbed of what could have been, so I’d love to see another model.

 

[Hoopguru]

I'll go with Sochan, he's a defensive freak and his offense will be better than advertised. Probably 1st team defense in 3 years.

That will make it funnier. But honestly I think there’s a good chance we trade the pick anyway.

 

[blazerfan11]

Who is it that we actually do draft in this scenario?

 

[Freshtown]

It’s probably Sochan.

 

[TBpup]

Kai Sotto. The Manila videos say he is all the rage.

 

[Natebishop3]

I’m gonna say Eason. I was listening to a podcast and they said his hands are freakin massive. He sounds like Kawhi.

 

[HailBlazers]

Nikola Jovic of course.

 

[Idog1976]

Duren, Sharpe and Sochan all have the potential to shock the league. I voted for Duren though because I think Big men are about to have a comeback.

 

[Natebishop3]

We took the guy I wanted. I could see Sochan being a guy we regret if Sharpe doesn’t blow up. Or Duren.

 

[tykendo]

Oh! We did take Sharpe. For a second i thought Hairdo was drafting , NOT!

 

[Strenuus]

I voted Sharpe. We're really going to regret not drafting him.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I can’t believe we didn’t take Justin Lewis or Dom Barlow

 

[1 Eye Jack]

I’m happy with the Sharpe draft but think Dyson Daniels is going to be a star too and his game would have been a great fit now. If Sharpe surprises everyone and he’s ready sooner than we thought we will have a log jam at guard.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I like Mathurin as well but he was already gone by the time we drafted. So does he really count in this scenario?

 

[theprunetang]

I can’t believe we didn’t take Justin Lewis or Dom Barlow

Same. I had a thing for Barlow. Maybe workouts weren't great.
