Nets. Hawks. Heat. Grizz. Magic. Kings without a guy taken

Would be great if you guys can stop updating which teams haven't gotten a pick yet, i have my eye on a player & would love if he continues to go under the radar.

I think the DRPM is a pretty heavy sign in Jrue's favour there (especially considering you can surely ignore the middle year where he was so injured he was coming off the bench on a minutes restriction) and am pretty comfortable saying he's the better defender. Hard to say how much of it is because of his situation though, good points about usage and AD, entirely possible Wall has the potential to be just as good or even better if he had similar advantages to what Jrue does. Anyway doesn't matter, wasn't criticizing pick, just liked the idea of you having the current All Defensive 1st Team back court :P

dude you picked 2 troll picks. i don't really care what you want.

UPDATE THE SPREADSHEET

serious question: what is your malfunction?

I actually almost took this guy llast round so I'm pretty stoked he's still around

Popovich carried LMA & a bunch of skittles to the playoffs, i'm pretty sure he isn't anywhere close to a troll pick & while Luka was a troll first pick, he would actually be a good second pick considering the players i see in the second round.

You realize Pop is a huge dog to be coaching by year 3 in this right?

you just spoiled. gj dude.

exactly pop might retire when kawhi leaves....or soon after.

LOLOLOL so gross

I also think Murray is insane value at this point in the draft, he's a same level prospect to some guys taken about 20+picks ago

His name is Juan Stockton, ffs.

Simmons is a better prospect on a better trajectory

You picked 2 guys who are gtd to be hurt 25% of the games you play; get over it

I'd rather have Pop for 2years than Kemba/Gary-Harris for 4-5 years.

Him going now, which I agree is about a half-round late, is the reason why the Donovan Mitchell pick is so bad. He's younger and I don't see much of a difference between the two... I guess Murray could take four more shots a game (making one) and average the same number of points and the world would be lining up to fellate him like they do DM.

Scalding hot takes itt

I like this!

I think we’re on the clock? We’re around and discussing our options.

Here's another, Murray>Mitchell creating 1on1 because his pull-up 2 and floater game is Kobe/Durant@20-esque... Actually a more advanced. He also has sick range for his age.

This take is actually quite mild.

Like lukewarm soup or not spicy general tso chicken.

By the way guys I tried out general tso chicken mild with white meat a few days ago and it was a significant game changer.

First: him going now has absolutely nothing to do with the Mitchell pick. Timelines, tiers, positional scarcity; there are many reasons that equating two players draft positions is basically irrelevant.

Second: they were not comparable players last year. I promise you that. Situation, defense, advanced stats; and I'm probably the second biggest Murray stan itt.

Third: You're correct that he went too late. I think he might be a favorite to be better than John Wall and Russell Westbrook over the life of this draft, but no I won't argue with anyone about that. Just my opinion

With our 3rd round pick, we're taking Jaren Jackson Jr.

With RWB and Gobert, we had a pretty obvious set of requirements for all of our upcoming picks:
- average to excellent shooting range for position
- average to excellent defensive presence
- young and athletic
- positional flexibility

Though he'll be one of the youngest players in the league next year at age 19, Jaren Jackson Jr immediately projects to be an excellent 3&D stud with the mini-potential to grow into a KG level superstar.

As for the fit on our team, he'll start and end games at the 4, and we project to have one of Gobert or JJJ on the floor at all times to anchor our defense. There's not many power forwards who slot in with his skill set and height/length, and considering we'll have RWB, we're not expecting JJJ to assume to much offensive usage outside of catch and shoot/finish opportunities.

I'm on team Murray too. I didn't really consider him for round 2 but I get the argument for him.

The comp to Mitchell is just a Nuggets fan thing since they traded the Mitchell pick and debating him vs Wall/Westbrook contains too many variables. I think debating him vs Devin Booker would be interesting discussion though.

I'm not actually sure that JJJ is a bad pick right now, but I don't think he's likely to be a + 3 point shooter anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong, and I had him tied for the #1 pick, but man he's freaking young. I'd much rather have him closing games at C in this NBA
