I mean he was a projected top 10 pick, but man he's not gonna be ready for 2-3 years at least.

From what I understand, DX has been 10 for 10 on picks in their last mock, even though they had Collins to the Kings instead of the Blazers.

They had us taking Kennard.

Welp, GG games.

Nonathletic shooter that has serious question marks about being able to defend at an NBA level.

So the Pistons are sticking with the easy pick, Luke Kennard of Duke. Don't love it, don't hate it. At least dude can shoot.


Thanks, wojo!

Old man Justin Jackson about to finally go off the board to Sacramento.

That was a really dumb trade to give up Zach Collins for Justin fucking Jackson.

I think it's a bad move to trade 10, but also there isn't a lot of clear talent here at this point. Jackson seems like an okay pick, to pick someone with a good head that's more nba ready than most others in this draft for a team that needs that super bad.

Zach Collins projects as a much much much better prospect than Justin Jackson.

Seriously, it was not worth trading down for Justin Jackson just to get an extra first rounder.

Actually he is and is one of the worst defenders in this draft. He has the sweetest shooting stroke though. Like I hated how good he was at shooting.

Apparently Van Gundy was praying Monk fell to them at 12.

Seems appropriate we drafted 12th in an 11 man draft.

I am still baffled by our draft.

Like I get Isaac at 6. Even if I don't like him, I get why we took him

What I don't get is why did we trade the 25 and 35 picks when we have needs everywhere? If you're trading them, trade up or trade for a player. Trading for future picks 2-3 years down the line that are likely to be worse than the picks we gave up for them just confuses me. I don't understand what we're trying to accomplish.

What has just dawned on me is the fact that when we traded up for Payton a few years back (for Saric plus a future 1st), we effectively gave up the 2017 #5 pick. I'm pretty sure it was the 76'ers 2017 1st in that deal that we gave back to them (which they then exercised their swap rights with the Kings to make it #3 and then traded up to #1)

If I'm remembering right, that seems such a shoddy deal in hindsight (2014 #12 and 2017 #5 for 2014 #10)

if the Celtics get Paul George and Gordon Hayward without giving up Brown and Tatum, does the resulting team theoretically have enough to get to the finals?

and how much does Horford have left in the tank?

I heard the NBA might just get rid of the conferences and just have the top 16 teams regardless of conference for the playoffs
