2017 NBA Draft Lottery
Re: 2017 NBA Draft Lottery
I agree with whoever said we'd get Jackson. Philly doesn't need a SF who can't shoot. They're more likely to take Monk, Fox or Smith.
If we weren't going to get Smith, I think Jackson was next on my list. Not much difference between 2-4 if that's the case.*

Time to read up and watch film on Jackson, I guess.

Unfortunately, you were right on time to witness the Suns getting another greaseless rogering by the NBA front office...
the way I expected.
Glad to have you back. Misery loves company.

I think we land Jackson too. 4th isn't bad. Like Fragrant said, outside of Fultz, it's a toss up based on teams and needs for the next 4-5 picks.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

I feel like we are going to have a hard time fitting in another SF. I really wanted a guard to play next to Booker.
Re: 2017 NBA Draft Lottery
I'm actually perfectly content with the outcome. Fultz will go 1, the balls get their wish and end up in LA, where I can happily root against him. I think there is almost zero chance Philly drafts Jackson which leaves him for us. He was my #2 choice.
Re: 2017 NBA Draft Lottery
Typical.
I just hope we end up with Jackson.

Re: 2017 NBA Draft Lottery
This could really end up being a blessing in disguise.
At least we do not have to worry about Lonzo's shot, Lavar Ball or the BBB Brand, right?
That is a plus in my book.

Re: 2017 NBA Draft Lottery
I don't know that Fultz goes 1. I think Ball is a better fit next to Thomas.
Re: 2017 NBA Draft Lottery
It was reported that Ainge (Boston) is a big fan of Fultz. I would think he will go one for sure but I am not so sure the Lakers will 100% take Ball ...ShelC wrote:I don't know that Fultz goes 1. I think Ball is a better fit next to Thomas.
Re: 2017 NBA Draft Lottery
Well, one silver lining is that we would have been a lot more pissed today if we still had the Lakers' pick.

Re: 2017 NBA Draft Lottery
The draft is rigged but Silver is smarter than Stern in the fact that Stern would have moved Lakers to the top because "It's what's best for business." Silver kept them out of #1 because it would keep the heat off the "draft is rigged" angle. Stern had an ego. Silver seems more even keel.
It's just like the WWE, they go through the motions to make it look real but the results are predetermined.
Can't express how sports sad I am right now. Our shitty little franchise will always always be at the short end of the stick.

Re: 2017 NBA Draft Lottery
Pretty early to call them franchise players. Let's see what they do in college. Early reports are that the draft next year won't be that deep. Outside of those top 4(Porter, Ayton, Bamba, and Doncic) there is the two returning freshman(Williams and bridges) and then a lot of question marks. Those top guys, outside of maybe Porter, have some question marks too. Would still love to have the pick, but I think it was more valuable this year at 4 than next year.Shabazz wrote:It would have rolled unprotected to next season, where there are 4 potential franchise players at the top of the draft.Superbone wrote:Well, one silver lining is that we would have been a lot more pissed today if we still had the Lakers' pick.
Re: 2017 NBA Draft Lottery
I'm disappointed, but mot surprised at all. I expected this and will say that the Suns could still get the best player at 4. McDonough hitched his wagon to Bledsoe already, and I doubt he picks a pg. They could go a hundred different ways with this spot now, moving down, trading out or for future picks, pickong up multiple picks, or trading for a vet. I would think they would try for another young running mate with Booker, but who knows.
