2024 NBA Draft Thread

[DJ Fieri]

Why waste a 2nd round pick on a guy who can't play? Get a legitimate 2nd round player with your pick and bring in baby James as a free agent because there are zero other teams who were going to draft him.

I hope he lands somewhere. Dude has some Dawg in him. Might be able to make a Pat Bev type career for himself.

Somebody will add him at some point.

@thunderc

Ignore the dumbfuck

This has gone on for decades.

Is it distasteful?

Maybe.

But it’s only a big deal because of the kids last name.

Need proof of that?

Same agent did the same thing last year and I never heard a peep.

Rich Paul called NBA teams and told them not to draft his client?

Chris Livingston became the "Mr. Irrelevant" of the 2023 NBA Draft, and that occurred ... by design? Livingston only spent one season at Kentucky before

Happens in the NFL too.

Why do you post about things you know nothing about?

I followed the clown when he was at SC because I follow all things SC and he couldn't even crack the starting lineup. he was pathetic. Do you seriously think if his father was not Lebron James, baby James would have gotten drafted with his stats at SC. Give me a break. James threatened the Lakers into signing him. I'm laughing at this ridiculous franchise

Lakers signed his teammate Diarra to an Exhibit 10

Bad sign, autocorrect wants to change his name to diarrhea

What do you think about AJ Johnson being drafted at #23?

 

[Brightboat]

What do you think about AJ Johnson being drafted at #23?

Never heard of him

 

[DJ Fieri]

Never heard of him

The 23rd pick in the 1st round.

You didn't watch the draft?

Well the poster did watch him a lot while he was as USC. Can you say the same? He only started 6 game and has shown he can't shoot right now and averaged 4 pts a game. I know the draft is all about upside and I don't actually have a problem with the pick that late. However I don't think there is any question that had LeBron not been a Laker they probably pick someone else. The problem of course will be when he makes the roster and a more deserving player gets cut. Now you have a problem in the locker room.

Yes, I watched every game he played at USC. I watch every USC game. His problem was that he missed too much time from his heart attack. He has talent and a high basketball i.q. He's also very good defensively. I have said several times that he should have stayed in school 1 more season to catch up from the time he missed and was on a minutes restriction.

As for where he was drafted...he's been ranked to be drafted anywhere from 48 to 56 since the combine. I don't know if the Lakers would have drafted him or not. I do know that enough teams drafting ahead of the Lakers expressed interest that Rich Paul started telling them not to draft him or he'd go play in Australia (which was a bullshit move that he shouldn't have done).

And define "more deserving player". His ceiling is probably solid rotational player if he puts in the work.

Also, it's highly doubtful "the poster did watch him a lot" considering who that poster is.
