The Official 2020 NBA Draft Talk Thread (11/18)

[SchoolboyC]

Yep, that's why I'm not high on Patrick Williams or Isaac Okoro

We've seen this happen over and over again with guys like Stanley, MKG, Josh Jackson, Rondae, etc

Okoro seems like Justise Winslow 2.0 to me. I'm not high on him at all. I have Williams as a Jeff Green type, which I don’t think is too bad given where he's expected to be drafted

As a sidenote, have y'all seen Kevin O'Connor's mock on the Ringer? He's got LaMelo going 7th

I learned my lesson with the “jack of all trades, master of none” types with Stanley Johnson

Hurts me to say it cause he's a local guy, but this

He had Tyrell Terry at #8 last month. No other mock has him that high. Vecenie has him in the 30s. He tends to overrate guys he likes

I think Terry doesn't get enough love (I'm guilty of that also), but I can't see a scenario where Obi goes to Charlotte unless Jordan forces management's hand.

while on Mitchell, I clown Knicks fans who swear they shoulda took Mitchell. Oh Mitchell was there. He's a local, whatever.


Knicks fans were too busy tryna figure out whether they wanted to dikkride Malik Monk or Dennis Smith Jr. Mitchell wasn't really in the convo. History is gonna retcon the fukk outta Malik Monk because he had top 5 hype for a lot of people and when he fell to 11, everyone thought the sun was gonna shine on Jordan's ass for once as an owner. Mitchell was an afterthought.


also, when in doubt, listen to Calipari. His success rate is high as fukk when it comes to Kentucky players. That's why Knox not panning out proves God hates the Knicks like I said to them once. That's why Tyrese Maxey despite his down year, still deserves late lotto consideration.

Or listen to swagnificent. his formula told us Knox was gonna be trash.

At this point I don't consider the Ringer to be a legitimate sports analysis hub.

The only thing that made that place worth going to was Bill Simmons interviews with the players and now that his rep is tarnished that doesn't even happen like that anymore.

Mitchell was in the convo. I remember.

I won’t lie and act like he was the guy I wanted (I really wanted Jonathan Isaac who got picked just before).

But Mitchell was in the convo and the Knicks blog and Twitter guys liked him, the scouts liked him, the press liked him and the hometown angle. I remember.

@Brozay


there's talk from some writers who suggest a deal like this

Bulls get the first pick
Sonics get the 4th pick and a 2021 top 3 protected first

Is that something you'd sign up for?

I just dont see the value in this draft to give up a 1st to move up to #1 here

Who would the Bulls even be targeting?
