You obviously are not a veteran of drafts. This was actually on the exciting side, especially considering the talent. I said this already. I liked how they called him the Michael Jordan of Delaware. Sounds bout right. Of course he didn't. C'mon! Sweetney would have been a good player if he didn't gain 80 pounds after entering the league.

If Lavar wasn't a blowhard idiot, LiAngelo would probably be a decent kid enjoying a 4 year full-ride scholarship at a quality basketball program, instead of being the ugly Kardashian of the family.

Last year with Ball to the Lakers who just got Ingram and Fultz joining up with Ben Simmons it seemed like these were teams that could actually start making leaps and impact the competition with such new top talent guys. And to a good extend, they did. This year the top picks seem a little less sensational and the team they are going to still look there is no turnaround coming. Marvin Bagley looks really good, he could be a legit star, but going to Sacramento still means they are going nowhere, it feels like Demarcus Counsins redux potentially. I'd have a little more hope for Ayton and Phoenix but still, they look set for another poor year. Dallas, the same, even with Doncic. The reason I say it was boring is because there were no surprises. I predicted someone would trade up for Doncic, which happened. And after that, it was pretty run by the numbers. There weren't any blockbuster trades. It was perfectly predictable outside of the Sixers-Suns trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not good enough and would not make the final roster for their summer league team, and he probably would at best be a backup on their G-League team. It's not like they went to a good European league. IIRC, it was one of the lowest level leagues, and they weren't doing anything special. Worse yet, LaVar is probably doing a lot of damage to the youngest's chances of going to the NBA. I don't think he can play for a college team now and he's not getting proper training. I heard some scouts say he could have been a top 5 guy. That's gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, but someone saw fit to mention that it wasn't for basketball reasons. Hell, if not for the dad, they might put him in the summer league just as a favor to his older brother. 3 hours ago, chiKanery et al. said: An unlikely lottery pick in 75 years isn't worth that much. I thought it was an unprotected 2021. If Miami sucks, which seems likely, that could be a pretty sweet pick. But you're only 72 years off, so that's nice.

The East will be weak for awhile outside of the top teams unless there's a major shake up in the next few years, and Miami's roster is decent and young and they are one of the FA destination. I'm not saying the pick is worthless. but I doubt it moves the needle in a Kawhi deal. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a player with a chip on his shoulder, and seems like he wants LBJ to take him seriously. I loved the pick. Think he has alot of upside. And, thats huge playing with LBJ.

Rhom Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This draft was legendary compared to what’s coming next year. Theres a reason many of the top prospects in the 2019 class are reclassifying to play in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
