The Official 2017 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Rooting for Giles to have a long career. Dude was consensus #1 in this draft before his injuries and now he might fall to the 2nd roumd.

I think Iwundu may get a boost to potentially secure a first round pick.

Already had him 29th on my board but yeah he definitely should go 1st.

my bad...I got lost in my excitement of picking hami i responded to you with another post about him in mind

But Giles na..how many of these lets hope dude doesnt crumble on the floor projects can you take? Esp a big with bad knees..not for it.

I don't know about Hammy in NY though breh, I love his upside but I'm not so sure he'd be able to reach his potential being home. He needs to end up in some place where all he can do is focus on the game, like Milwaukee or some shyt where all the young dudes don't really do much but hit the gym.

I'm throwing in the towel I didn't have on Giles. He's that dude that peaked in HS but one or two games a year he'll give you 20/10/5 but instead of being happy you just get sad because you know he'll never physically be that player night in night out

nikkas really in here hyping an undersized SG with no handle, 3 ball or court vision

6'5" with 6'11" wingspan is undersized for the 2?

Glad Mitchell moved to #12, I don't want the Bucks to draft him

6'3.75" is fine for the 2.


Nobody is saying to take him in the lottery, but for a team with multiple firsts or early 2nds, why not? Rosters are being expanded this season, throw him in the D-league for the next 2 years and see what happens.

You don't develop ball skills and court vision after 18 if the foundation aint there
Throw him to the D league and he'll be the same bum 2 years out....maybe he gets a 3ball and becomes 3&D on his 2nd contract

I get the same reservations but if there are any issues with that marks and co wont be picking him...things aint the same as they used to be round here..

id also expect him to spend majority if not the whole season in nassau if he was picked.

Some teams gotta take the chance, and if all he becomes is a 3 & D guy that's fine

There are better 3&D guys available with the Nets 1st pick....it makes no sense and there are higher upside guys with the 2nd pick
