My picks woulda been good either way

 

[Trust Me]

Put us down for Exum. @Trust Me gonna be mad as fukk

I just know that's the way we go if he's there at 4.

I kinda hope someone picks him in the top 3 .. but then again .. the likelihood of that happening, and either Parker or Wiggins dropping to us is slim to none .. so I lost this draft.

Yea .. fukk this draft.

Gary Harris the next Bradley Beal, lowkey

Lakers like Vonleh over Randle. Mitch is supposedly targeting him. Plus there's no way Gary Harris does before Gordon or LaVine given how short he measured at the combine. 6'2" SGs with 6'6" wingspans ain't wats poppin in the NBA right now.

 

[Swagnificent]

the top 4 lottery teams are pretty good landing spots for the top 4 prospects.

Embiid/Kyrie
Wiggins/Giannis
Parker/MCW/Noel
Exum/Oladipo

those are 4 nice cores. Cavs, Bucks, Sixers, and Magic got a damn nice future. I could see those 4 teams being the best in the east in 3 years.

the east might no longer be the JV conference

Harris is 6'4.5''' in shoes which we already knew, and he comes in as being of the best shooters and defenders in this draft. He's practically the same size as Bradley Beal, just not as long (pause). That goes a long way. He's a proven commodity going to a team that needs a proven commodity, the Hornets have been drafting guys that can play right away anyway other than Biyombo

Henderson
Walker
Taylor
Kidd-Gilchrist
Zeller

 

[Poitier]

Take Doug McDermott with the 5th pick brehs

Take Gary Harris over Nik Stauskas and James Young brehs

Take Jordan Clarkston, KJ McDaniels and Isaiah Austin in the 1st round brehs

Take 23 year old, lung problem, slow release, inability to recognize a double team Adreian Payne with a late lotto pick brehs

 

[Kang Deezy]

I'm still debating, I'll make my pick soon.

The only good thing about this post is that you're running Reincar's line into the ground.

I'm never wrong on the draft.

@tremonthustler1 Capella or Tavares for South Beach, on the euro athletic big demographic

I could see Miami bringing someone in now just because it's cheap talent . One less roster spot to worry about.
If Miami wants to opt for the stash route take Bojan Bogdanovic. Tavares has upside but I wouldn't feel comfortable picking him in round 1
