Draft Day prediction.....

with pick 1.24, the Philadelphia Sixers take......... Chuma Okeke, Auburn

 

I know @caustic went with a different strategy, but as a Sixers' fan if there is one thing i know, it is that no 1st round pick (or at least first player selected in the 1st round) can play for the Sixers their rookie year. Or at least only play a handful of games. It i like the mystery of the cosmos, we don't question it, we have just come to accept it. The team is likely worried that if they break this trend something like a Joel Embiid injury will occur, so they need to keep the trend alive. better if the injury is already in existence so that they don't have to try and poison their rookie with allergic reactions. 

I can see the rookie reactions now as the 24th pick comes up and they all run and hide, refusing to answer their phone. Should be a Game of Zones episode. this would be the 6th year in a row i think (Noel, Embiid, Simmons, Fultz, Smith)?

Okafor played.

I'm sure they tried. Would be bad### if that came to fruition.

[ShamrockPride 5,346]

Nassir Little going full blood with that suit.

Anthony Davis has turned into:

 

- Lonzo Ball

- Brandon Ingram

- Josh Hart

- No. 8 pick in 19

- No. 17 pick in 19 

- No. 35 pick in 19 

- L.A.' 21 pick if top 8

- L.A.' 22 pick if not

- L.A. swap in 23

- L.A.' 1st in either 24 or 25

 

And got rid of Solomon Hill's contract.

And another pick from Atlanta (protected cle 1st in 2020). 

Lakers didn’t try to send out their guys as part of this deal still?  According to Woj, this is 100% June 6 deal now.

Minnesota is engaged in multiple conversations on the No. 6 pick acquired in the deal with Phoenix, league sources tell ESPN.

Though I thought NO wanted a youngish player for that pick. 

[ShamrockPride 5,346]

Damn, this interview is beautiful

[HellToupee 15,641]

Zion & his mom 👍

[Doug B 6,771]

Zion doesn't show that side of himself very often. New Orleans will wrap their arms around him, and he can be king of this town if he wants it.

[whoknew 8,866]

Tee is a sharp dressed dude.

[encaitar 1,922]

Loving the subtle dig at NY by ESPN.

Scrolling ticker says:  NYN team needs... EVERYTHING.

Hell yes.

[Long Ball Larry 14,296]

maria taylor is pretty tall.

[Daywalker 3,034]

Saric for the #6?  Way to swing for the fences phoenix.

[sheerterror 325]

Maria Taylor going to slip out of the top 10?

Probably their only chance to get out from Dieng and/or Teague.

[Craig_MiamiFL 2,542]

Glad Suns got their Dragan Bender replacement.

why would they need to get out of Teague?

[Doug B 6,771]

If they ever remake Coming to America, Spike Lee needs to be one of the guys in the barber shop.

[DJackson10 3,047]

I really hope this kid Zion lives up to all this media hype or he's gonna be eaten alive. Every FN' year I hear the #1 overall player was the best talent since Lebron. I've yet to see anyone do it.

[kodycutter 923]

Wow, forgot Mike Dunleavy Jr went #3.

[ShamrockPride 5,346]

#### ESPN killing these interviews tonight.

I'm not crying you're crying...

The press here is easy, he’ll be embraced no matter what.

Not talking about NO talking nationally and fan wise. He's at a decent place city wise where the Media is low key. 

[Juxtatarot 11,272]

Now things might get interesting

[Doug B 6,771]

Why do they keep saying "proposed trade"? Because of the wait until July 6th?

[Ramblin Wreck 14,156]

It's beyond stupid the NBA does not announce the pick with the team actually getting the player.

Think the media is finally learning their lesson. You put a clown on you get a clown show.

Because technically the draft happens before the leagues NEW YEAR which is dumb. Just make the NBA draft the NEW YEAR or move the draft back and FA up

Yes, they should figure out a way to change this. I say that every year.

Who do you want the Bulls to take?

[HellToupee 15,641]

Might as well just wear an old school leisure suit 

[encaitar 1,922]

Darius Garland..... The Louis Oosthuizen of the NBA!

[Rirruto 2,174]

Darius Garland wearing a bathrobe. The dude abides. 

[SaintsInDome2006 47,477]

Looks good, sounds good, feels good. I like it. Pels need to figure out size and leadership but I’m actually excited,

[Craig_MiamiFL 2,542]

Absolutely love Garland. Game fits so well with today's NBA. Was hoping he'd land in Phoenix. I personally am not as high on White as PG as Garland.

Will be interesting if Garland/Sexton backcourt sticks.

Edited June 21, 2019 by Craig_MiamiFL

[Rirruto 2,174]

Bathrobe aside, I'm anxious to see how Garland works out. He's a dude who shot up draft boards without playing (he was around the 15 kid coming out of high school). He's proof positive that most 5 star kids should either sit out the year or go to a mid-major school and dominate.

I wanted Garland but if they can't get White I'd honestly trade back for more assets and take BPA

I am curious to see if Zion is more of an alpha personality than Anthony Davis turned out to be.

Looks like they can get White. I would have been ok with Culver too.

[SayWhat? 4,118]

Ugh.

[Long Ball Larry 14,296]

culver couldn't play football because they had church on sundays?  is there that much youth football occurring on sundays?
