2024 NBA Draft

[INFORMER]

Lakers getting Knecht.

Pretty incredible that they landed him.

[INFORMER]

I have a hard time believing in a perimeter defensive specialist outside of the lottery. That leads me to believe his defense isn't elite and/or everything else is really, really bad.

I feel like bad offensive players oftentimes have their defense overrated.

[ShelC]

We worked both guys out. Buie is a 6-2 scoring guard. He can light it up, score from just about anywhere and is really crafty when he gets in the lane. Uses screens well and also has really good speed and quickness.

Samuel's another 5yr guy with 4 yrs at Seton Hall before 1 yr at Florida. Good size but not a standout athlete, was a PF in college but will be a small 5 as a pro.

If nothing else we should have a good summer league team with these picks and signings. No more 28yr old euro free agents with no shot at making the team.

[TOO]

Can we still field Mike James in SL?

[Flagrant Fowl]

That’s Euroleague MVP Mike James.

I don't care, you care!

Care to move on and not litter this with nonsense?

Better than the non-stop puns

Agree the puns are the worst at least this made me giggle

Plenty of great defensive players picks our range tho.

Herb, Jaden McDaniels, Josh Hart, Nembhard.

They weren't bad offensive players though. They also weren't touted as elite defenders who couldn't do anything else.

[JeremyG]

I’m already rooting for that guy just for the name alone.

There will be no way to know whether the crowd is cheering him or booing him.

[INFORMER]

So stupid with both Collier and Kolek on the board. I am convinced Jones will never draft a point guard, even when we desperately need one.

I don't think you can lock into draft a specific position that late in the draft. Just got to go get someone you think can be really good. I'm very happy they didn't draft Collier. I would have probably taken Kolek over Dunn, but I don't think Kolek was someone they had to draft.

[Furlanfufi]

Bron, Bronny, and Rich Paul can all go get fucked. Nepotism at it's finest. Look forward to rooting against Bron even more now and Bronny for whatever little pathetic career he has. Fuck em.

Couldn’t care less about the nepotism. What’s the problem. He runs his life, you run yours. And I don’t like LeBron, but who cares. If you have a problem with it, it’s probably more about you than him. I don’t even understand why you care.

And why do you care if dyj cares?

Why do you care that he cares that dyj cares?

I don’t. Why do you care that I care if sunsrit cares that dyj cares?

[INFORMER]

None of these opinions matter until we have INF weigh in on his thoughts.

Ha!

Part of me is relieved that they handled the draft like a competent NBA front office. It was a better look than the buffoonery we saw after the early exit from the playoffs.

I'm not crazy about Dunn or Oso, but they weren't terrible picks. Choosing Oso over Quentin Post kills me, but, maybe it turns out in the Suns favor. There were a ton of prospects I would have preferred over Dunn, and I have my doubts on how much he can actually stay on the floor and be effective.

[INFORMER]

You can always tell a big man's bball IQ by how he passes. Ighadaro's really smart and skilled, should work as that connector. Almost Diaw/Kyle Anderson-ish. Not a banger or great rebounder and a bit of a tweener at the 4/5.

I definitely see the Boris comp, and not in a bad way either.

[INFORMER]

Suns got Bridges!

This is a great move. I'm happier about this than I am about their draft picks.

[In2ition]

Could he be our 6'11" Draymond?

[JeremyG]

I can't get past the captions calling Draymond "SUCH A GOOD PASTOR."

[In2ition]

Hallelujah!

[Flagrant Fowl]

More like Kevon Looney, who I know some people seem to really like.

[Furlanfufi]

Could he be our 6'11" Draymond?

I hope he don't start hitting people in the nuts...

[Superbone]

I don't care, you care!

Agree to disagree.

[Superbone]

Some quick googling has taught me the exhibit-10 clause is basically an incentive for players to remain in the organization with their g-league team instead of signing with another team abroad.

I was going to say, never heard of that before.
