Homecourt Draft Discussion

[KB21]

Also, for the record since the board was dead at draft time, the one guy I really wanted in this past draft was Brandon Clarke.  He was in my top 3 for the entire draft.

Lots of crying about the trade.  Also, noticed that a lot of posters liked Bamba and JJJ.

Posters didn't know at the time that the Hawks got Cam Reddish in the deal.  That makes things much better.  

Some thought Trae was a worthless pick who couldn't survive in the NBA.

Sothron has been super open about being happy to eat crow on that.  He won't mind.  He just wants to see good things for the Hawks.

I have a confused face but I love the Soth or Sapphron as kg calls him.

I missed on JJJ in that draft but I got some right with Luka, Trae, Bagley, Porter Jr. ( he is looking like a steal these days ) and I nailed SGA as my sleeper PG over Sexton in the top 10.

NO! He said his floor meaning rookie year, he would be as good as prime Ibaka and when he comes into his prime KG or at worse LMA with volume 3pt shooting. 

 

He got mad at @GameTime who said his likely ceiling is Ibaka with more shooting and said he's that right now.

You should find one with a skull and crossbones on that flag, particularly since Mike Leach is now the coach at my alma mater.

Getting on the record with my too-early draft preference:

With our higher 1st, Tyrese Haliburton

With our lower 1st, Vernon Carey, Jr.

 

Dang, can you imagine the spacing w/ Trae and Tyrese on the court at the same time?

 

 

 

I don't think Carey will end up dropping down to us with that lower 1st, but then again, we might not even have a lower 1st by then.

 

 

[KB21]

I watched Carey play the other night.  I wasn’t that impressed.  

[sturt]

Not sure what to tell you. The last two games have been stout.

 

 

 

[KB21]

The Syracuse game is the one I am talking about.  I didn’t like his lack of body control.  I didn’t like the lack of accuracy on his passes.  He seems like a non shooter to me.

Carney Jr is a beast, a young Capela. You can find centers like that on the draft

He’s likely a 4th big man in the NBA at his peak.

[KB21]

That’s a 7 footer doing that.  

[KB21]

Yeah.  He’s just a 3 and D big.  LOL!

3-10 

0-2 from three. 

You were just talking stupid shit on Cam Reddish who is MUCH more talented but you want to show like this from JJJ. Typical...

This was the most passionate draft in Hawks history. A wrong move would set us back ten years. While I admit, Bagley now would have been the wrong pick, @KB21, you need admit JJJ would have been the absolute wrong pick as well. 

 

Trae and Luka>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> JJJ or Bagley based on where the game is going. 

 

 

Thankfully we got Reddish with that Dallas 2019 pick. 

I realized quickly  my mistake of having Bagley as my #1 overall guy. 

[NBASupes]

What's crazy is @KB21 wasn't exactly wrong so far with Bagley III. He's been closer to right. Same for me. JJJ finished the RS with a 0.4 WAR and Marvin with a 0.2 WAR. Both players haven't really shown to be impactful players at all. At least with JJJ, he does what you need modern bigs to do but he's a poor man's Myles Turner right now. Both players awareness is a lot lower than people projected. Both could still be good players, heck, Bagley could end of very good but Bags could be out the league in 5 years and JJJ as a backup big man.
