MSUs Valentine looks good. OAKs Kahlil Fielder is my pick to jump up to early 2nd rd and work his rear end off and make a splash.

Him and Valentine, vying for number one pick. Don't give it to some Duke/Kentucky rear end in a top hat, NBA.

Is a like 6'2" shooting guard who is pretty old for a draft pick.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

He's listed at 6'4" with a 6'8.5" wingspan by DX so not terrible size and Valentine, Demetrius Jackson, and Dunn are all relatively old too.

Those guys are mostly point guards and Valentine is probably like a mid first rounder too

Ah, I thought he was a PG/SG which there are a plethora of this year.

Yeah I think they'll all go #10-#35 unless someone goes crazy in the tournament and does well at the combine.

Brother lemme tell you I scrutinized Buddy Hield with the most powerful metric known to man, and he passed with flying colors and I want him on the Grizzlies roster. That metric? Did He Get Crunk Shooting The Ball On National Television In Primetime, or for short, The Eye Test

Who am I kidding. Chris Wallace will draft some combo guard with injury history who will bounce from the end of the bench to Iowa and back until one day he just simply...disappears. And for another year, Memphis fans will rest where disappointment and regret collide.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
That top 10 protected Kings pick is starting to look like having a decent shot of heading to the Bulls, it currently sits at 10th pick however the Kings are only 0.5 games behind the Jazz for the 8th seed which would slot the pick at 15th. teams 11-14 are non-playoff Eastern Conference teams who are all a few games ahead of the Kings/Jazz.

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 would like to see the Kings make the playoffs, I have had a soft spot for that team in the Cousin's era.

What can you guys tell me about Jamal Murray? I realize NBAdraft.net is hardly something to go on but they have Toronto drafting him with the Knicks/Nuggets pick, just curious if that would actually be a good use of the pick or if they should pursue moving up somehow. Also, how deep do you expect the class to be in particular?

I'm firmly on the Ben Simmons bandwagon. Out of all of his skills, his rebounding is what transcends him from a great prospect to an amazing one. It cannot be said enough how impossible to defend a guy who can immediately go from rebounding to pushing a fastbreak. It's one of the reasons why Draymond Green has been so effective this season.

I think Brandon Ingram could go #1.



6'9.5" tall with 7'3" wingspan, hyper athletic, can shoot from distance, handle the ball a lot without turning it over, rebounding+stocks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnMrZyQFEjY

Simmons will be a star but having to develop a shot could drop him to #2 behind Ingram imo
