2017 NBA DRAFT

[Bolts]

I'm pretty happy with the draft the Kings had, got 2 PG's when they had none including hopefully their PG of the future in Fox. They got Jackson to fill in at SF even if he's not the long term solution there. And they take a chance on Giles who could be really good if he gets/stays healthy. You can argue that Monk or Collins at 10 would have been better but they have some depth at SG and C. I'd like to see them use that cap space to take on a bad contract or two to gain future draft picks and maybe go after Otto Porter. Next season won't be good when it comes to wins and losses, but it's all about developing the young guys and building chemistry.

You guys need to stink for 2 more seasons.

Then go nuts.

Lord help these kids...lol

Embiid and Simmons was nothing compared to this.

Why?....lol

If they can manage to acquire a 2019 1st round pick from someone else to make up for the one they stupidly gave up, I'm okay with that. If they're making the playoffs/slowly becoming a contender in 2019-2020 I'll be happy. Or the Lakers can just be really bad next year and the Celtics get that pick instead, I'd enjoy that.

Looks like the Lakers are making an attempt to get back to the Showtime days.

that'd put butts in seats...ESPECIALLY if it's coupled with some w's...

I'm not back reading, so might have been talked about, but what's up with Bulls selling the Warriors that pick?

Sorry, I am confused. I thought the Clippers had a change to draft the guy at #47?

They took Evans at #39 and Thornwell at 48.

Actually I was going off of your comment #1112, where you said "Clippers pick #48.Guy they wanted goes 47th...lol". That is where I got confused.

I am very pleased with the Suns draft. Honestly Josh Jackson is the guy I wanted from the start, perfect fit next to Booker on the wing, as he excels in everything Booker struggles with. If Phoenix had the first pick I really do believe they would've strongly considered him there, that's how good of a fit it is.

Now you have all these versatile forwards that can run the floor in Jackson, Warren, Chriss and Bender to put with Booker and Ulis... the young core looks really good. For the first time in a while I can say I'm feeling really good about PHX's future. By the time GSW/CLE start declining in say 4/5 years from now is when this group will start to hit it's stride, maybe sooner.

Davon Reed looks like he could be a decent 3 & D shooting guard off the bench behind Booker as well. Getting a full year of Bender assuming he's healthy is almost like having another first rounder too, I think he will surprise some people, he showed flashes of how talented he really is in some limited time after he returned at the end of the season.

You're lucky because the Lakers were looking at him too and in fact the Lakers considered trading the second pick for two lower picks, but couldn't get a bite. Josh Jackson will help Arizona in many ways
