2017 Draft Lottery Thread

I'll come back to this message next year. Fox will be better than Ball in every single category. I wouldn't be surprised if Magic Johnson drafts him.

 

I'll like to take this opportunity to take a moment of silence to feel sorry for those players getting drafted by the Kings and Knicks...
....
and also to whichever organisation that drafts Lavar Ball...oh I mean Lonzo ball.

 

Because UW had very little talent and a completely washed up, worn out coach.

I watched Fulz quite a few times and he is the real deal. The ESPN guys that have actually seen him play and continue to imply the #1 pick could go either way are a joke. They don't want to offend anyone.

The real debate is where will Ball be drafted. His chances at going #2 have increased since the Lakers got the #2 pick. If they don't take him, I bet he slips to the Suns at #4.

 

Did they have less talent than Davidson when Curry was there? Like I said before, I don't care how bad the rest of the guys were, as the #1 overall NBA pick, I'd think he'd be able to raise their games to at least a respectable level.

 

Lakers going to be stacked in a few years

PG; Lonzo Ball
SG: James Harden
SF: Paul George
PF:
C:

 

I'd be completely shocked if Magic drafts him. We'll see errr.. yule c.

 

Wow Celts not only reach ECF, they also get no 1 pick and most likely will pick up Gordon Hayward in FA.

Lol this is so unfair.

 

I guess you don't watch much college basketball. It's very hard for one guy to lift a pathetic team in a major conference to respectability. UW completely broke down in the middle of the season and had no fight left. It was pathetic. You think an 18 year-old freshman will make sorry players "raise their games" under those circumstances? Did you watch Ben Simmons at LSU at all? I did quite a bit. Same story there except the dysfunction was even worse because LSU had good talent. That was Twilight Zone stuff.

Are you aware Curry played 3 years at Davidson? If Fulz stayed 3 years at UW he would be a much better college player than Curry.

 

It's horrible, but don't discount what our resident Master Thief did. Yeah, OKC has Adams on a $100 million contract...so what.

In spite of what some might say right now, we got a top 50 all time player. I'd imagine Beard's true value is like consecutive #1's ? (wouldn't ever deal him of course)

 

I think you're confusing him with Jim McIlvane.

 

They could trade the number 1 pick to the Bulls for Jimmy Butler

2017-18 Celtics rotation:

PG: IT/Bradley/Smart
SG: Butler/Crowder
SF: Hayward/Brown
PF: Olynk/Johnson
C: Horford/Zeller

 

dont forget westbrook and cousins

 

what's everyone upset about? The Celtics?

 

Yeah and obv they would be upset but I dont see how that has any impact I'm upset rox dont have no 1 pick.

 

Escalating NBA chicanery picking up momentum ....The League's always been manipulated, but they're out of control these days...no attempt to hide it.

 

Normally, I would agree, but the Nets' incompetence and ineptitude, along with uncanny desperation made it, beyond possible. The Lakers were pretty bad as well.

 

Finally someday says it!!!

And who was the dumbass that said the Lakers will pass on Ball? Haha. ****ing serious?

 

I think the Kings plan is to take Fox (1st option) if not then take Monk and covert him to PG at 5 pick then take Lauri Markhannan at 10.. You have your 3 point shooting squad
Monk
Hield
Temple
Lauri
Stein

If not my idea of a good draft and id they get lucky is

Fox
Hield
Issac
Skal
Cauley-Stein

not bad...

 

I just can't draft anyone with a girly name like Lauri.

can anyone named Lauri dominate other than WNBA?
