NBA DRAFT 2019 THREAD

[virtual9mm]

I wanted Culver but they get a pass on this if they can get DLo or Dinwiddie or Brogdan.

I am liking what I see out of Cam Johnson, who will most likely become a valuable role player. If the Suns were picking at 22, I would be ecstatic.

But what is inexcusable is that the Suns failed to move down to pick him in the 20s. WTF?

[Superbone]

This is such an underwhelming, insulting gift for all of us who suffered through last season.

yeah. I need Superbone to lift our spirits

I got nothing.

Spurs taking Luka samancic

F this front office. They scouted no one. Worked out a bunch of 2nd rounders and reached on a guy who was nowhere near a lotto pick. Even the Knicks worked out guys they knew they werent taking just to do their HW and maybe plant seeds in case they become available via trade or FA. We didn't even do that.

OKC wants out of pick 21....trade up and take Clarke to save this draft?

One of the reasons the aforementioned Little didn't get a ton of playing time? Cameron Johnson took a lot of his minutes. Johnson is redshirt senior, 23 years old, and thus doesn't, theoretically, possess the "upside" of the freshmen Little -- which is to say Johnson is believed to be closer to, well, what he is right now.
But what he is right now is perfect for the NBA. He is 6-foot-9 and an absolute lights-out shooter. Dude shot over 45 percent from three, and with his height and release point he isn't just hitting open looks -- he's knocking down contested shots. He's not a great athlete, another reason he doesn't have the upside of a guy like Little, but every single year there are guys who are labeled inferior athletes who get passed over despite their obvious basketball skill.
Johnson could easily be one of these players. Many mocks have him going in the late first round or even the second round. Someone is going to get a player who can produce in a role well above that slot. If somehow Johnson were to fall to 28 with the Warriors, man, just his shooting alone, with that size, would make him hugely useful in that offense.

Hachimura went 9th, Clarke hasn't been drafted yet. Telling.

Trade up with what?

[Split T]

People scared that he’s too small

[Shabazz]

Maybe we trade the MIL pick for OKC's pick?

No clue, Would probably have to take a contract(Roberson) and give up the Mil pick. Kills the cap space so probably not smart

[Shabazz]

And a good player will fall to 32. We're going to kick ourselves.

Sizers trade up for Matisse Thybulle

Haha would absolutely love it after having dumped Warren and #32 for cap space.

[Cap]

Are we allowed to throw this FO with no scouts under the bus now?

Yes.

Funny, it was just a few days ago I posted,

Having no idea what the organization is going to do is a welcome (if brief) change from knowing with certainty that they were going to screw things up.

Brief indeed.

Memphis trades up for Clarke at 21

I just hope a few years from now we look back and laugh because Cam Johnson is a stud

That would help a bunch.
