2023 NBA Draft Thread

[jpotter33]

Other than the CP3 deal, feels like it's been fairly quiet on the trade front for NBA draft day.

It’s a shame TNT doesn’t have a broadcast of the draft. Espn is terrible

This draft coverage is atrocious

They’re terribly boring.

[Who]

HOU just wasted their pick. A 20yo beating up on high school kids while avoiding real competition.

Reminds me of Dante Exum. Avoiding competition.

[Who]

Portland need to make a trade.

Either trade Scoot for a veteran forward.
Or trade Lillard and go with a youth movement.

Some of these teams just taking guys they basically already have

This might be the most boring draft ever. Any trade talk on twitter?

Draft coverage stinks

Draft is boring and slow

“I want an athletic wing on my team” - ESPN Analyst

Does any team want an unathletic wing?

[Who]

Anthony Black does seem like an Orlando Magic player.

Reminds me of Elfrid Payton. Another non-shooting PG. A dodgy shooting SG in Oladipo. A non-shooting forward in A Gordon. An okay shooting J Isaac. Remember them trying to play those four guys together? Sheesh, the spacing was awful.

Anthony Black seems right in line with their recent history.

Man, I am seeing nothing. So crazy how quiet it has been over the past couple of days, even despite the two big trades of Zinger/Smart and Poole/Paul.

This guy has a mane like JD.

And DET took the other one. Another wasted top 5 pick. Just like last year with Jaden Ivey.

Cade Cunningham hasn't exactly been a roaring success either.

That DET team is going nowhere.

[Who]

Oh yuck. Coulibaly to IND.

He is an interesting prospect but this is a high pick for a guy who has shown little offensive ability. I was hoping IND would take a PF here to play alongside M Turner and give him some help.

Gradey Dick would have been a fun shooter to play alongside Hailburton as an alternative.

[celticinorlando]

What in the world is Detroit and Orl doing? Collecting guards?

[knuckleballer]

A couple months ago, I was reading about Coulibaly being a second round pick and I liked him for the Celtics.  He sure shot up.
