2018 NBA Draft Prediction Game

Post by carey »

I thought about doing the traditional mock draft game but we rarely ever have more than a handful of participants. This year instead of doing the entire first round I thought we'd play a game where you get to choose which teams you want to predict. You must select for the Suns at #1, #16 and #31. If you think there will be a trade just put trade and you will get points if the team trades at that pick.

Rules: +4 if you suggest a trade and get the target player accurate, +3 for nailing a pick or if you said trade & a trade occurs, +2 if your selection is wrong but you're within 1 spot, +1 if you're within 2 spots, and 0 if it's 3 or more.

Please format as follows... (this is an example, not my selections)

Suns
#1: Bamba
#16: Sexton
#31: Shamet

League
#6: Young
#8: Porter Jr
Go Suns!

Don't want to hijack you thream Carey, but I'd also like to suggest a game ot true/false where you win 1/0 points. Something like this (feel free to add your own questions or point out lame ones):

1.- A team trades into the top5.
2.- Bamba gets picked before Jackson.
3.- Suns come away from the draft with two guys picked in the first round.
4.- Young gets picked before Porter.
5.- Wendler Carter makes the top7.
6.- Kevin Knox makes the top10.
7.- SGA gets picked before Collin Sexton.
8.- Okobo is the first international prospect selected after Doncic.
9.- Isaac Bonga is picked in the first round.
10.- Someone sells a top45 2ndR pick essentially for nothing/cash.
11.- At least one allstar gets moved at draft night.
12.- OKC does something weird (we'll know if it happens).
13.- One team trades down from the top10.
14.- Zhaire gets picked before Holiday.
15.- More than one senior gets picked in the first round.
16.- Anfernee Simmons slips to the second round.
17.- DiVincenzo makes top20.
18.- Spurs pick international (first or second round).
19.- Mikal Bridges is a top8 pick.
20.- Grayson Allen makes the first round.

Suns:

1: Ayton, 16: Trade combined with 31 Trade for another top 5 pick.

Pick number 2 JJJ.

Part of the trades that get us the other top 5 pick also net us a PG as facilitator.

League:
Doncic 2 to Sactown.
MPJ 3 to Atlanta
Treat to be picked higher than we give him credit for .
What we do in life, echoes in eternity.

Assuming that they stay at 16 and 31, which I believe that they will trade out of...

1-Ayton
16-Huerter
31-Shamet
59-Antetokoumpo - Wishful thinking...probably Peneva

I've been talking about him awhile. Gambo is just now figuring this out, which may mean that the Suns have been a little silent about him for good reason. The Suns need shooting and he's one of the best. Huerter and Shamet would fit those needs.
