The Official 2022 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Knicks seem adamant about getting another wing. They already interviewed Mathurin, Sochan and Malakhi branham. I guess they have confidence in getting a point guard through free agency.

Also this signifies they probably want Barrett back at his natural 2 guard position which is a smart move.

Throw Brunson a dumb bag idc I'm desperate I'd rather the Knicks do that then reach on Tyty and pass up on a wing.

@LezJepzin Sacramento is up


Misleading headline. This is just what Hollinger thinks they'll do.

My bad for the delay breh. Heading back from Vegas .

I'm picking AJ Griffin

The Wizards are desperate for a PG.

But the Pacers just signed him to an extension and should be also giving something to dump that contract.

The extension only added 2 years to his deal (3 total), which isn’t necessarily that bad. It’s about the going rate for a player of his caliber. I still wouldnt necessarily do it though unless you have a decent backup PG behind him that can fill in as needed to help keep him healthy until playoffs.

Yeah he's smaller than I thought. And this ducking everyone thing? Unless he's trying to get to a specific place it's weird to me that he's ducking rookies. If he were that nikka playing wouldn't expose him.

And this team around him making these type of decisions that favor him will be issues for franchises dealing with him down the line .

If he’s there at 10, the Wizards got to pull the trigger.

I’m not in favor of trading assets for a PG right now.

Since KCP is Beal’s boy and Kuzma is being promoted by the team endlessly, I don’t see them being traded. Rui is also a cash cow for Ted and I don’t see him being traded before the preseason games in Japan with Golden State.

What big men will be available for the Celtics at #53?

Mostly stash guys but Kofi Cockburn could be there, Orlando Robinson from Fresno State. Drew Timme played well enough to be in conversations to be drafted.

Where's Trevions floor and ceiling for being drafted

I like Trevion Williams. I don't think he's a first rounder, but 28-42 is a reasonable range for him. He can be a good rotation player since he shows he's willing to do just about everything offensively.

that high

I can't necessarily rip them for it though trading down to get him would be plan A. Ideally he'd be a Pacer but if Keegan Murray is there he's hard to pass up.

Wizards #10 pick for the #13 and #15

Hornets might panic if Duren is already gone and Williams is the only big left there in the lottery.

Yep. We can't afford to lose out on both guys and everyone should know too. The sooner we move up, the less other teams try and run the price up on us.

I mean I guess.. but I'd have Beal in there going at him. Cause even at ten there are potentially more impactful players than him. Like Dyson Daniels has done more at the same age. Shaedon is intriguing to me but how does he look against grown men after a year off.

 

[Blackrogue]

Btw @FAH1223 you know lidell played for Brad Beal elite? So we have an inside track on information about him at the least.

I think Dyson doesn’t make it to 10

We’d have to get a late 1st rounder to get him. I’m seeing him mocked there or early 2nd.

There's always people in the draft who can play who get drafted late that people end up thinking wtf.. ej gets Millsap comparisons sometimes and remember Millsap was drafted second round.. ( I think)


I'm funny though every draft I want to get multiple picks because I feel like their value is at it's lowest. Like in team needs and fit I can make an argument for Dyson Daniels, sochan, Tari, mark Williams. Ochai. Even further in the draft names like (siquavirous) I don't want to Google are popping up.
