2024 NBA Draft Thread

[radiohead]

Filipowski, Edey or Holmes, please one of them fall to 30

Alright new goal

Filipowski would be really nice.

So they?re just not going to tell us what the SAS-MIN trade is? Word.

Somehow the draft coverage gets worse every year.

or maybe they are.

The Timberwolves are trading a 2031 unprotected first and a protected 2030 pick swap to the Spurs for Dillingham, source tells ESPN.

Why on earth would the Spurs do that? Ant will be hitting his prime in 2031, so how good can that pick actually be?

i would GUESS that maybe the spurs are loading up on picks to eventually make a trade to get someone to play along side wemby.

Seems high for Edey, but could be Memphis' Adams' replacement. How does he fit with JJJ, though?

I am glad they got a new center to replace S Adams. I like having Jaren Jackson start at PF and then be able to slide over to C later in the game where needed. Gives Memphis the option of a big defensive lineup or a spaced out offensive lineup.

What an amazing pick for the Bulls to get the hometown kid. I didn't think Buzelis would fall past 5...

I love Chicago's off-season so far....probably something I haven't said since 2009 lol

[Who]

Who is Cody Williams?

I haven't heard of him in the build up. Is he meant to be a Jaden McDaniels type player from the Wolves?

Jaylen Williams from OKC brother. Top high school player. Disappointing season.

[Phantom255x]

At this rate we aren't picking until like 11 PM lol, or midnight

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Definitely a Thunder-type of pick.

[Who]

My god. How did OKC get Topic?

That guy should have been a top 5 pick. The luck OKC has.

[Donoghus]

Wow. Topic my binky to OKC. 

That could very well end up turning into the steal of the draft at 12.

[perks-a-beast]

Topic is my pick to end up the best player from the class. Presti does it again.

[blink]

So how many teams picking from 13-30 have a big need for a big like Flip?
Do we have any chance he falls to 30?  It feels like that is a no.

[Who]

What do people expect Chicago to do now?
Keep the old guys and roll it back when new additions?

G: Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu
G: Zach LaVine
F: Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis
F: DeMar DeRozan, Pat Williams
C: Nikola Vucevic, Andre Drummond

It is a stronger looking forward rotation than they have had in years. They have often just had DeRozan & Pat Williams over the last 2-3 years. Giddey and Buzelis gives them real depth there.

[perks-a-beast]

I like these mid lottery guys more than the top guys. This draft is so strange. I feel like it's one of those drafts where the best player will be taken 42nd or something like that.
