I think this draft class is overrated a bit. Not that much star power IMO. Ayton has the body. Doncic could be good. but eh.

most of the best bigs in recent years were playing soft and light on purpose to breeze through college and get to the NBA asap and in one piece. bagley gives no fucks
By blackace Go To PostThat's the worst mock I have seen so far lolDidn't list where it was from .... ESPN.
cmon brehs.
By DY_nasty Go To Postthis may sound weird but i think ayton is trying too hard lolI mean, that's exactly what Ayton was criticised for when he lost his #1 ranking as a college senior.

Probably going hard to just make sure he's the no.1.
By knux-future Go To PostI think this draft class is overrated a bit. Not that much star power IMO. Ayton has the body. Doncic could be good. but eh.I think there's a few good ones. But think it will be much like last years with lots of ... slight gambles. Doncic could be really great. And Ayton could be in that mix with KAT/AD/Unicorn.
I liked trae young too? what i've seen of him anyway.
i still don't know what to think about trae. he got bodied before schedule too - kansas ain't even good
By giririsss Go To PostI mean, that's exactly what Ayton was criticised for when he lost his #1 ranking as a college senior.that's the thing, no one cares about going #1 anymore. all these factory kids are thinking best organization, best staffs, best route to the big second contract.
Probably going hard to just make sure he's the no.1.
By pilonv1 Go To PostI'm sure they're the only team with this sort of issueYep. Burn the Warriors.
By DY_nasty Go To Posti still don't know what to think about trae. he got bodied before schedule too - kansas ain't even goodEh, they still think that, because going top 5 means a lot more money on your rookie contract.

By diehard Go To PostWarriors admitted to tank, league didnt do shit.This is a different story lol.
Yeah I feel it's better to have it in the sexual allegation thread. But still someone should link the story
By s y Go To PostYep. Burn the Warriors.
jealousy isn't a good look for you
By s y Go To PostThis is a different story lol.oh wow , damn. sorry
According to NBADraft.net, the Clips are picking Jerome Kersey and Stromile Swift this year in the draft.
Miles Bridges and Robert Williams.
Hm... :<
Jazz are slotted to pick someone named Shai Gilgeous-Alexander?
Sounds like a high-fantasy human. ._.

From what I have been told, the people who do that mock draft used to be the DX guys and they don't really slot for need until after draft order has been set. So, I guess that mock is who they think are the best prospects regardless of team.
Don't let that stop anyone from mocking them. Hell, it may make it even easier!

So, I guess that mock is who they think are the best prospects regardless of team.There's a difference between mock draft and "big board"
Don't let that stop anyone from mocking them. Hell, it may make it even easier!
board means talent / player rankings.
Draft is ... taking teams into account.
I still don't see any team not drafting Ayton first.
By domino Go To PostIt's everywhere. Fucking everywhere. Not that this shit shouldn't be aired, it definitely needs to be exposed but you'll be hard pressed to find any industry or profession without this. Even a bunch of the ones stacked full of women got issues. It's one of those things so endemic to gender politics, yet we pretend it's not and then all feign shock when it comes out that people still treat women (or subordinates really because it does go the other way with power structures) like objects.
By Kibner Go To PostIt's what those guys have always done, though, despite always calling it a mock draft.yeah, its how its almost always been. very, very few mocks in the wild shift for team needs prior to the lottery
You fucked up so bad when you're making contracts in which folks gotta stay away from a whole fucking other gender instead of just hiring someone else. For fucks sake Mavs.
Just looked up Mario Hezonja's game log.
Lmao wat. The Magic about to lose another good player for peanuts (nothing).

Man it ain't hard to fire these harassing pieces of shit. Just fucking fire them. Don't give them another 4 years with a "no one on one female contact" contract. Good people don't need that shit. Wtf Cuban. Jeezus
By Method Go To PostMan it ain't hard to fire these harassing pieces of shit. Just fucking fire them. Don't give them another 4 years with a "no one on one female contact" contract. Good people don't need that shit. Wtf Cuban. JeezusIt's looking bad for Cuban
By DY_nasty Go To Posti still don't know what to think about trae. he got bodied before schedule too - kansas ain't even goodPeople still care about top 3 there is almost 2 million dollars difference for your 1st year between the 1st and the 4th pick
that's the thing, no one cares about going #1 anymore. all these factory kids are thinking best organization, best staffs, best route to the big second contract.
Anthony Bennett made like 12 million for no reason... between 1 and 2 they don't care but as that salary drops I am sure they sweat it
By blackace Go To PostPeople still care about top 3 there is almost 2 million dollars difference for your 1st year between the 1st and the 4th pickYeah. It matters.
Anthony Bennett made like 12 million for no reason… between 1 and 2 they don't care but as that salary drops I am sure they sweat it
Purely from an injury perspective too.
By RATHasReturned Go To PostIt's looking bad for CubanCubans statement rings truth. He looks after many businesses. You have to trust the people you put in those positions, otherwise nothing gets done. Both seemed to come with solid Resume`s. Seems like they obstructed the due course of proceedings.
Cuban's got one hell of an ego, and can come off as an ass in a lot of things he does, but he's never come off as scum or anything super negative. But then, Racists have run NBA franchises for decades ....
By blackace Go To PostPeople still care about top 3 there is almost 2 million dollars difference for your 1st year between the 1st and the 4th pickthe guys who ball out for the top spots gotta worry about a ceiling that guys who'd be lottery bound as high school seniors don't
Anthony Bennett made like 12 million for no reason… between 1 and 2 they don't care but as that salary drops I am sure they sweat it
anthony bennet wasn't shit. jah threw that jersey on the table for a reason
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe guys who ball out for the top spots gotta worry about a ceiling that guys who'd be lottery bound as high school seniors don'tJah is proving to be a waste tho... Ball knew he was going top 3 so he could shit on the Cs and still make his dad's money
anthony bennet wasn't shit. jah threw that jersey on the table for a reason
By blackace Go To PostJah is proving to be a waste tho… Ball knew he was going top 3 so he could shit on the Cs and still make his dad's moneyand ball didn't play anything close to his current level of defense in college either lol
shit, lauri barely even jumped

Bruh think they had Oladipo too........ Rumor is they want to move Gordon...... They have no idea what they are doing.
Whoops, someone posted the intro for that ESPN mock draft and I was wrong :
Our mock draft differs in two crucial ways from our recently updated top-100 prospect rankings. It uses ESPN's BPI to project the draft order, and it's adjusted for NBA team needs accordingly. It also attempts to project which players will ultimately end up declaring and keeping their names in the draft.

i dont think people are surprised that it happens. just the specific details and manner. i work in a fairly light office where the banter flows freely and sometimes it veers over the line a bit, but "you getting gang-banged this weekend" is just shockingly blunt and way out of pocket.
By DY_nasty Go To Postand ball didn't play anything close to his current level of defense in college either lol
shit, lauri barely even jumped
yeah i thought lauri was a fucking bum lmao. i was joking w/ my friends watching the draft that he'd be the next subpar white dude on the hornets. if not him then zach collins
By DY_nasty Go To Postand ball didn't play anything close to his current level of defense in college either lolWhen you are promised a top 3 pick you just need to get by... Ball was indeed promised that from jump almost... he was able to score in college tho...
shit, lauri barely even jumped
By blackace Go To PostWhen you are promised a top 3 pick you just need to get by… Ball was indeed promised that from jump almost… he was able to score in college tho…Ball had good (for college) teammates that complimented him well.
By Kuma Go To PostKyo and Omzzz what are the chances Casey when coach of the year.They mentioned he might during the all star game, so if they keep this up I guess pretty good? That often seems to be the kiss of death though, lol.
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostBruh think they had Oladipo too…….. Rumor is they want to move Gordon…… They have no idea what they are doing.
i can confidently say that's not true at all re gordon and was something spread by fuckstick twitter idiots like matt moore
Dang, this makes me sad. Wish it was more accurate. The thread has more examples of why it isn't reliable:
