2017-2018 NBA Regular Season Thread

Collin Sexton, Knox, Shai, Diallo will all likely be 1st rounders this Summer.

I'd kill for either of the first 3.

Sexton is a top 10 pick easily. Knox and Shai are lottery picks as well. As for Diallo, seems like he is a end of round 1 pick currently

Hell, I think just about everyone on this board would be thrilled to be an NBA journeyman for double digit years.

I would love to be Joel Anthony. Went undrafted. Played 7 years for the Heat and won 2 titles.

Had a 10 year career

Brian Scalabrine is my hero.

Easily?

Announcers on the Bama-Kentucky game said he might be a top 20 player depending on the team.

There has not been a single mock draft in the last month where he's been out of the top 10. He's going to be the first PG selected. Only way that changes is if OU sneaks into the tourney and Young somehow carry them deep into the tournament.

I honestly can't recall a mock draft where I've seen dude close to 20 and I've been paying attention to these things since January. He is almost a lock to be the first PG off the board

Young could still go before Sexton. Don't think that would be a major upset.

But, Sexton does look better right now.

Even if that happens, I still think Sexton is going top 10. There should be 2 teams or more in top 10 who will need a PG. I've seen both in the top 10 of mock drafts for a few months now

Basketball insiders has him as high as 5 on their updated mock from a few days ago.

I have seen a few that had him before Trae.

But, both go top 10.

He reminds me of Fox in Sacto.

Bingo. Being in the NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL for that long is a heck of an accomplishment. There's so many people who life long goal is to make it to one of those 4 sports and don't make it, so to make it that long even if it was a role player/journeymen is freaking amazing. Making it to the NBA isn't easy

Exactly. NBA journeyman for 9-10 years. Where do I sign?

Folks forget, with how few actually make it to the NBA for even a season, the worst player in the NBA is still one of the best players in the world.

Kentucky is destroying Bama.

Kentucky is destroying Bama.

The Memphis/Cincy is much closer. 47-44 Bearcats w/ 12 & change left.

Just switched over to that.

Yep. The worst NBA players in the game are better than 99.9999999% of humanity at playing basketball.

I hope Sexton pushes himself into the top 5 with a strong March, it'd give the Kings more of a chance to draft Jaren Jackson or MPJ.

I agree. It is possible one does a DSJ like slip given the talent in this draft, but unlikely.

Sexton is really good.

But MPJ? He doesn't fall behind Sexton. That would be a little crazy, IMO.
