Yea I'm not congratulating Danny on a master tier move or anything he just got very lucky that a long armed defensive center fell to 27

Between Ingles crowder and Allen if he's any good the jazz will have one of the most irritating teams in basketball

woke up feeling so happy that the Wolves didn't draft another center. Great night for us though, we got exactly what we needed in two guys who can probably do alright in supporting roles.

yeah like south dakota

Having said that, Newman was definitely not the Jayhawk who I thought would go undrafted, kinda surprised teams wrote him off.

He has no length for a shooting guard. I like him a lot but if you're going to be 6-3 with a small wingspan you better have point guard skills.

I spent an hour and a half grading and writing up the draft, but realized that it was all platitudes and generalities. We know that all but a few picks are contingent on skill development and team context. We know that shooting and length are generic good medicine. We know that athleticism makes things easier but doesn't solve all problems. We know which teams are known for drafting well and which arent.



I'm just excited for summer league, so we can see some of these men ball. I want to take a ball vacation until then

You can't stop what's coming
Summer League basically being immediately after the draft is one of the best things the NBA does, it’s a great comedown from the regular season

Is this Heaven?
Everyone is giving Utah a B for their indefensibly dumb pick out of respect for their player development and it's some cowardly horseshit

I think I gave them a c+ for technically meeting a need in shooting , and not taking some of the higher upside/less Grayson Allen players.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I can’t help but think that Alkins at least gets drafted if Arizona’s tournament goes a little differently.

Trier apparently had a few two-ways to choose from due to having some nice workouts, but him not getting drafted was less of a surprise.
