2017 NBA Draft Thread

[BigZ]

There are some guys who are better going to a good team I think that would be Luke.

[brevity]

Jay Bilas thinks Justin Patton is a better prospect that Harry's Giles... nope.

He has Patton at #21 and Giles at #22. Is that so ridiculous?

If Mitchell is traded to Utah, pretty much means Frank doesn't get picked in 1st round.

Watch out for OKC at 21.

Frank > Semaj Christon

Frank > Norris Cole

Coach Cal in the house - what an incessant self-promoter

Congrats to Justin Jackson!

OK, folks, with Luke going twelth, the drinks are on me. Of course, these are cyber drinks, since we wagered cyber money. Sad.

Lol, apparently Jay knows a thing or two.

[JasonEvans]

Minnesota takes Justin Patton... whaaaaat? He would have been on the board for another 5+ picks.

Minnesota managed to both make the best and worst moves of draft night... that takes some work.

Tells you Giles isn't close to NBA ready. May never be.

Haha, nice. Update on this: only DukeTrinity11 can catch you. That's if both Harry and Frank get drafted in the 1st-round.

Is Calipari full of wine?

Just so everyone knows, Patton averaged 12ppg and 6rpg while shooting a horrific 51% from the FT line. If he plays more than 10 minutes per game next season, I will be shocked. I predict he is never a top 8 player on his team at any point in his NBA career.
