2019 DRAFT DAY THREAD

[Taker597]

We gave up a guy who played 5 games and has a massive number of questions surrounding him for one of the most athletic players in the draft who is already a versatile defender, elite rim protector and rim runner, with a massive amount of upside and some of the best advanced stats in the draft.

Worth it.

The only logic problem with that. We are gonna have a guard problem soon and we maybe too good to get a solid one in the top 10 unless the Lakers completely implode. You may like it, but finding a great guard later in the draft is a nightmare..

I thoroughly support getting a 5 for Zion tho.

Please take Nassir Little!! Dude has huge potential as a 3 & D wing IMO. Big time athlete

If little fell to 17 I’m beyond happy

I don't agree with that too much, I think there are a bunch of good guard prospects in next years draft class, and we have a couple of promising young guards right now in Lonzo and Frank. Obviously we have Jrue for a couple of years as well, and we have enough draft capital to move up next year if we see a guy we know we just need to have.

Obviously that's tentative since who knows what guys will actually look like when they're in college.

‘Farts with anticipation’

Pistons selecting Doumbouya according to everything I've seen, so let's see.

[DaPelFromHell]

The best players available are Little, Clarke, & Bol Bol. So I hope we get one of them, preferably Little

Come on Orlando take Clarke unless we pass on Little

[Pelicanidae]

Detroit selects SEKOU DOUMBOUYA

Sorry Sekou...

[RaisingTheBar]

A lot of people have him as a late first. Seen a few mocks see him going to San Antonio.

What’s his downside/weaknesses that make him fall?

[new city champ]

To me it's Brandon Clarke all day long. He and Zion + Hayes = incredibly athletic front court for next 8-10 years. Plus, Clarke's is just a damn good basketball player who is being discounted because of having a less than ideal wingspan.

That said you could reproduce a lot what he does with Chuma or another good small big that's still on board.... Still, I'd take Clarke and not look back

Think defense based on what little i know.

He's barely 6'0 tall, wouldn't be surprised if he was really 5'11. Doesn't really look to pass: he has one mode, and it's shoot shoot shoot. Limited defensive ability.

I agree. Clarke probably only player to ever block Zion as hard as i saw the other night when rewatching Duke vs Gonzaga. He was giving Zion fits!

Who plays small forward then?

[Pelicanidae]

Apparently Orlando is focused on Okeke at #16, which I think is a great pick for them.

Bol Bol and Brandon Clarke still on the board.

Ah ha thanks. Thanks sleeper as well.

Clarke's probably the most athletic guy in this draft not named Zion, and he's just a smart, smart player. Very good passer, fantastic timing and anticipation, versatile defender who can switch onto the perimeter.

Kind of shocked he's fallen this far tbh.

[HornetGuru]

Nasir little at 17 please!!!

Please stop leaking every pick lol

He and Zion totally switchable in 4/5 small ball line up. Also think either Clarke or Zion can move out to SF for stretches eventually. They are very similar players...and I like that!

[wuggie]

BOL BOLLLLL OR NASSSS

[Pelicanidae]

Please stop leaking every pick lol

I'm just parroting Woj, I'm sorry I'll stop.

[Pelicanidae]

Silver, it's pronounced Oh-KAY-kee, not Oh-kee-kee.

[DaPelFromHell]

Okeke with a torn ACL?? Damn! Thought we would have a shot at him in the 2nd.

Take Nassir Little, but I won’t be upset with Brandon Clarke or Bol Bol

[HornetGuru]

Haha I know you’re not doing it on purpose and just excited as am I

[new city champ]

Do it, Griff. Clarke....Clarke...Clarke. You won't regret it...
