Official 2018 NBA Draft Thread

How dare ESPN leave Yi Jianlian out of its top international players selected graphic.

 

[Bolts]

I love it.

People shitting on Bagley here like he some bum lol

I hope he's great, his defense will need to improve and his ft shooting will need to improve to make sure his SSS 3pt% from Duke can translate. Kid seems like he'll work hard to get better which is good. I'm still bummed but I'll be rooting for the Bagley/Giles Duke duo to dominate like the Kings think they can.

They've got Skal, WCS, and Giles. And Luka is a SF which is what they need. Oh well

Bagley is better than all of those guys

 

[Bolts]

I give up on the Kings. Forever the fricking KANGZ

I won't give up, but it's getting tougher to support them.

They can always trade one of those....

I think they should have taken Doncic but it's not like they took a player expected to go 8-10 with the #2 pick. They took a top 3-4 draftee.

Praying grizz take Jackson. I don't want him

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Worst organization in sports, Im so sick of it

Hawks draft the best player in the draft and trade him

Fucking die

 

[Mecca]

Dallas going all in on Cousins?

Or

Will they get Gortat and #15 from Washington?

Is this the end of WCS?

I'm more skeptical about Giles. They're basically going on what they saw from him 3+ years ago in HS.

He was mediocre at Duke 2 years ago and missed all of last season

 

[DJ]

They must havd gotten more picks...

This.

Yeah I didn't get it.

They must really think Trae Young is the next Steph Curry

[DirtDirtDirt]

What executive ruins his career by drafting Porter?

 

[bksballer89]

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Disgusting

"Protected" meaning they received a future nobody in this trade

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Probably would kill the trade, wish they would

It should be, trade him for whatever you can get. Maybe try to sneak into the back end of the lottery with him and the 2nd round pick. Probably wouldn't be enough but it's worth a try. The Kings say he looks great and is getting better but he's a wild card for now.

Damn, you're good...

 

[Mecca]

Dallas won the draft.

 

[tlance]

It's the NBA equivalent of the red carpet at the Met Gala or AcademyAwards.

It used to be.

Now it is that damn award show that will air sometime next week
