It's the NBA Draft, the shortest and most impactful of all of the sports drafts! rip bill we hardly knew ye please never come back I'm gonna do a big board with pictures and other cool poo poo in the next post but since I'm writing this on my phone I'll just do some Big Names That You Should Know Skal Labissiere The latest in the line of Kentucky blue chip big men that will rule the NBA for the next thousand years, Skal Labissiere's inevitable comparison is probably going to be Amare because of one numbers he put up at the Kentucky combine in October. Very long armed and athletic, he also shows flashes of a mid range jumper and can shoot free throws. Also he's Haitian so that's fun Ben Simmons A normal dude with a normal name but Australian so probably racist. 6'10, crazy athletic, and an excellent passer and defender (I mean in theory). Plays SF and PF but his jumper is unknown at this point (although it's been decentish in showcases). Dragan Bender Bends dragons. Brandon Ingram Freakishly long armed guy who plays at SF, likely top 3 pick. Can do, like, all the moves from 2K. Unfortunately, Duke. Jakob Poeltl, Diamond Stone, Cheick Diallo, Furkan Korkmaz, Sviatoslav Mykhaliuk All totally real names of people probably going in the first 20 picks. Domanatas Sabonis yes, like that sabonis

Offense isn't really the problem with the team, their defense is soooooooooooo bad and when Kobe's off the floor it's Nick Young, who somehow is a worse defender than Kobe right now. But yeah they basically have a 25% chance to lose the pick.

Well since my vain hope that the lakers might get 30 wins is already out the window, lets hope that Ben Simmons was right and that he ends up on the Lakers

Ross Angeles posted:Declan can you break down Malik Pope from SDSU for me because he owns I watched some tape on him because I've never seen him play before. He's got an intriguing physical profile (a lot like Durant actually) and is a pretty good rebounder but he doesn't really pass at all. He's also slow getting his shot off although it does look good when it leaves his hands. He also looks pretty decent putting the ball on the floor. The big thing is that he only got on the floor for 15 minutes a game last year so it's tough to tell how he'll handle the spotlight. His stock could go way way way up.

It's a year early, but Harry Giles, projected #1 in 2017, tore his ACL. But the really bad news is that he committed to Duke this morning.

This guy looks pretty interesting: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Zhou-Qi-61857/ Been a while since anyone dared to draft a Chinese player. However, he's 7 foot 2 and loving 209 pounds. I'd figure the CBA would be a pretty good place to use steroids, get on it CBA trainers.

http://www.nbadraft.net/players/chance-comanche He hasn't been mentioned here yet because he's not a top tier prospect, but as names go Chance Comanche is certainly up there for guys who could either be a a 70's cop show character or a male porn star.

Diamond Stone definitely has the best old school feel, but Dragan Bender also seems like some sort of fantastical hero with the ability to control dragons, so I'm really torn on that.

make sure to toss DJ Hogg on the names pile, possibly along with 2nd rounders Melo Trimble, Alpha Kaba and Taurean Prince Gary Payton's son Gary Payton II has a ton of steals in college so he'll probably get drafted. Denzel Valentine put on a good show had himself a triple double and won the big game v. Kansas
