The 2018 NBA Draft
- Thread starter HomeRunBaker
- Start date
Ok, I didn't realize it was 2021. I think it could fall anywhere from 5-20 if that's the case. I thought it might have been 2019. I think the Heat are going to be really,. really bad this year.

Sources: The Milwaukee Bucks have selected Donte DiVincenzo with the No. 17 pick in the NBA draft.

Could be one of several factors (just my opinion here, and I might be biased because I am absolutely not a fan):
A. Numerous injuries during his junior season
B. Withered mentally under the scrutiny and backlash over his repeated tripping infractions
C. Is a bit of a ballhog who needs to be the go-to-guy, and struggled to take a lesser role in the offense and play a complementary role with multiple, 1-and-done, future NBA lottery picks
They picked up a future first which is always good to have, made it easier to open up max cap space this offseason and got a player they really like. I don’t like it from a talent perspective of the players picked but I get the logic.

Mikal Bridges does not know yet that he's been traded. Still doing media in Sixers hat

You don't see anything wrong with a perimeter lineup of Simmons, Fultz, and Zhaire in todays game?
Obv sarcasm......these Sixers don't deserve Embiid and Simmons with the shit they do.

Riles won't last forever. His facial skin has already imploded to sub-gravity levels.
So Robert Williams for C's? Seen some Clint Capela comps, that would be nice. HRB you don't like him, don't like that comp?
KOC, thinks it's a great trade for PHI. I dont watch college basketball so I dont know, but it's a great trade for me for the comedy angle.
Thanks Ponch, I appreciate the details.
My Duke focus this year was on Trent Jr., I watched his dad earn his Shaq of the MAC title at Ohio.

How many ways can he spoil this without spoiling it?

Nice fact check. The terrible U education trumps Discovery Channel knowledge?
So stoked my Nuggets got Porter Jr. it's a gamble, sure, but one a team stuck in NBA purgatory (not bad enough for top picks; not attractive enough for superstar free agents) has to take.
Murray/Harris/Porter Jr. (if healthy)/Milsap/Jokic is an intriguing starting 5 with upside

The Miami 2021 pick is one of the best draft assets not owned by the original team still out there. Those assets are incredibly valuable when you're building a contender, since you can deal them for stars without the receiving team worrying that the star will devalue the pick.
ESPN talent was told not to spoil picks. Woj is using specific words like focused and zeroed to avoid declarative statements. But make no mistake, he is spoiling picks and not abiding by the company rules.
I thought I read something that Smith shot well for PHI's workout. Other workouts not so much.
He's competing with Elfrid Payton and Kelly Olynyk for worst hair in the league.
ESPN said that everything would be announced on air and people shouldn't tweet picks ahead of time so Woj is saying things like "zeroing in on" instead of "will select."
