2018 NBA Draft - June 21

Do Not Sell My Personal Information


Have to wonder if this affects Ayton's eligibility for the rest of the season. Arizona could rule him ineligible to cover their butts some and seek reinstatement from the NCAA, a long process. We'll see.
 
What's up with Bamba? he looked terrible in the last game after hurting his toe and tonight h hasn't done anything significant. I can't watch the game today because I can't find a stream, but looking at the boxscore he seems to not do much at all... is he even in the game?

He only played the first half; toe was clearly bothering him.

Do you think it can be an issue going forward? I'm kinda scared of the possbiity he mind be an injury prone player... his build and lower body in particular raises some concerns.

Don't like toe injuries for Big guys.

I guess we'll see in the coming weeks how serious it is. Obviously agree that any injury from the knee down in a big is super concerning by default.

I loveeeee his game. Wow.

Wonder if he could slip into the 2nd round.. but if he keeps playing like this he's surely going to vault up into round 1. Woulda been a guy I looked at if we didn't trade the Lakers our pick.
 
Zhaire is a center in a guard's body.
 
DeVonte Graham is definitely gonna get drafted.

He needs to develop his jumper and he can def. play in this league. Small sample size stats but he looks like he can be a good shooter. But needs to be willing to shoot more.

He has the body/athleticism and the statistical profile of a top-5 pick. Only real questionmark is that jumpshot. I'll happily make an RCF bet that he doesn't fall out of the lottery if he declares this year.

This draft is super deep. That's why teams didn't want to trade their frp, even if it was a late frp.
Tons of interesting players with a lot of upside.

I think that was largely more to do with the current cap environment than this draft specifically. I don't honestly think the later half of the first is that much better than the average. It's good though.

People don't expect Zhaire to declare, but yeah no chance he's a second rounder.
