2021 NBA Draft Day - 29th July

Here we go

Damn I liked Sengun!

I just hope we take Keon, Jalen, Garuba, or Murphy

Preparing to underwhelmed

Out of respect for the people on here who don't want the Pelicans pick spoiled, I won't post it now before it's announced, but I will say that I am entirely meh about it.

Not upset, but not my first choice. Or my third choice.

Edit: in fact actually take that back, I am a little annoyed. Plenty of better options imo. Not a huge massive fail but yeah, a very D grade draft

Good pick. Makes sense.

Well now I know it isn’t springer

I like it. Not my first choice though.

I bet Griff is trying to trade the pick rn

Trey Murphy here?

Maybe we trade it. I dunno.

Who is it?

Yeesh

10 minutes of commercials

Griff trades 17 for a dozen basketballs.

I really really like the pick a lot

It feels a lot like we drafted for ''fit'' rather than for actually trying to find the best, most impactful player. Which is not a strategy I favour.

It also makes me feel somewhat uneasy about the upcoming season. If you think there are a ton of huge changes coming up, it doesn't make much sense to draft for the fit of last year's team.

I knew it

MM hinted the FO was honing in on TMIII

I think we'll regret not taking Jalen Johnson, but I'll be happy to be wrong.

Still hasn't been announced on TV, so I'm not posting the tweet since some people asked for it not to be spoiled. Check Woj.

Trey Murphy's three-point shooting in his three years in college:

2018-19 (Rice): 42.1 percent on 4.8 attempts per game
2019-20 (Rice): 36.8 percent on 7.0 attempts per game
2020-21 (Virginia): 43.4 percent on 4.8 attempts per game

Career: 40.1 percent

Now moving on to our second round picks, definitely i think we take Matthew Hurt with one of them

Murphy measured in at 6-9.25 and 206 pounds at the combine with a 7-foot wingspan. https://t.co/qhs51bpLgx
