I like Thomas, thought he was going to make his way into the teens. Definitely gives NJ a real potential sparkplug off the bench

Somebody has to tell Perk to pay attention to the draft, they already showed the trade. And Perk keeps talking about Sharpe's value to the Suns

Nice night for the Nets

Wiz picking Isaiah Todd at 31. i think he’s going to be one of the better players in this class

So dumb question. Was the G League ignite team a team specifically put together to stack with college age NBA ineligible future players? I knew the G league had started taking these guys, I just thought maybe they were distribute around the league

I’m hoping that Junior Duke makes it to Boston, I had him solidly at the top of this tier. I think he has a long career in front of him as a 3&D guard.

With Jason Preston off the board, are there are any good-sized point guards who might be available at No. 45?

I also forgot to note that the Hawks are double dipping in the underachieving F pool with the Jalen Johnson selection. I wonder if that makes Reddish available?

Well reports were Reddish was already being made available. So we'll see if anything comes of it

BJ Boston might fall to us. That’d be wild between the name and the Terrence Clarke connection.

It’s not the name on the back of the uniform, it’s the name on the front of the uniform, unless the name on the back of the uniform is the same as the name on the front of the uniform

Thoughts on Louisville's David Johnson as a No. 45 possibility?

I think the Celtics are going to try to hit a home run with Cooper. I like Johnson at 45

So it’s a second straight draft & stash whose ultimate fate is to be a toss-in in a trade.

6'4 with a 7'0 wingspan, comp Lonnie Walker with less feel for the game...

Seems like an OK'ish upside play.

Begarin is only 18, 6’6” with a 7’ wingspan. I guess they didn’t see Boston of Johnson as more ready to contribute than their existing young players.

Begarin has all the physical tools. He’s 6’6”, 7 foot wingspan, and really strong for an 18 year old. This is the sort of swing for the fences pick a lot of folks here have complained Ainge didn’t make. He has a long ways to go as a basketball player though.

Atnalta grabbing Cooper to backup Trae. Those two PG lineups are going to be a hoot.

I don’t think Brad wants to spend any of his limited funds on a young player who will contribute nothing on the floor this season.

Let's not get too carried away with the 18 stuff... his birthday is 8/7.

He is one of the youngest players in the draft. There’s no one who just turned 18, so noting someone is 18 is roughly equivalent to noting they are a very young 19.

Boston ends up in New Orleans. not sure the best place for him, but we'll see. Maybe a year in the G league will help

In the videos I just watched, Begarin reminds me a bit of countryman Mickael Pietrus
