I think this draft should be very eventful as this year's draft class isn't star studded. The first two picks are set but things will get unpredictable after that. With several teams without draft picks and a team like Boston holding a handful of picks, don't be surprised if there are plenty of trades.

It'll be interesting to see what the Hornets do with their pick. Will they stay put or will they trade it? They must consider the free agency period that looms when handling moves tonight. Any predictions?

This may be a deep draft but there really isn't a ton of talent. I think this makes for an interesting draft to watch.

First Round Order: 1. Sixers | Ben Simmons, LSU, 2. Lakers | Brandon Ingram, Duke , 3. Celtics | Jaylen Brown, Cal, 4. Suns | Dragan Bender, Croatia , 5. T'Wolves | Kris Dunn, Providence, 6. Pelicans | Buddy Hield, OU 7. Nuggets | Jamal Murray, Kentucky, 8. Suns | Marquese Chriss, Washington, 9. Raptors | Jakob Poeltl, Utah, 10. Bucks | Thon Maker, Australia  11. Thunder | Domantas Sabonis, Gonzaga, 12. Hawks | Taurean Prince, Baylor 13. Kings | Georgios Papagiannis, Greece, 14. Bulls | Denzel Valentine, MSU. 15. Nuggets | Juan Hernangomez, Spain 16. Celtics | Guerschon Yabusele, France 17. Grizzlies | Wade Baldwin IV, Vandy, 18. Pistons | Henry Ellenson, Marquette, 19. Nuggets | Malik Beasley, FSU, 20. Nets | Caris LeVert, Michigan, 21. Hawks | DeAndre Bembry, SJU, 22. Kings | Malachi Richardson, SU 23. Celtics | Ante Zizic, Croatia, 24. Sixers | Timothe Luwawu, France, 25. Clippers | Brice Johnson, UNC, 26. Sixers | Furkan Korkmaz, Turkey, 27. Raptors | Pascal Siakam, NMSU 28. Kings | Skal Labissiere, Kentucky, 29. Spurs | Dejounte Murray, Washington, 30. Warriors | Damian Jones, Vandy

I was amped for the draft tonight because of the possibilities, and likelihood, of all the trades. I wasn't really excited to see who we'd pick at 22, so this trade doesn't  lessen the excitement for me.

I dont feel like looking, but iirc, didnt belinelli sign a 2 yr deal with sac last year?

I ask because it genuinely shows how stupid our FO is anx how skittish they are of drafting anyone now bc theyve been so bad at it.  Why do i say that?  Bc why trade a first round pick for a historically inconsistent outside shooter for one year, when if thats what you really wanted, you could target one in the draft and have him for 4 years or so?

Just stupid...  i already had low expectations going in after the last few drafts, but this was an even worse move than I couldve imagined.  We traded a first rounder for a MLE guy who shafted us in FA last year for a dysfunctional Sacramento team.  I give up...

He's signed for this year and next I believe. I will say it's extremely cap friendly.

So, there was an offer from the Bulls that would send Lavine, Pick 5 (Dunn) for Butler. I would have done that in a heartbeat if I was Minnesota. Especially since they already have Rubio. It's not like they are in dire need of a PG.

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
