2021 NBA Draft Day - 29th July

[hornetzplaya]

Herb Jones. Ok.

[DaPelFromHell]

Yes I yield to take the best player available which is either Cooper or Butler IMO

[Taker597]

New Orleans at 35: Herb Jones, per source.

ehhhhhhhhhhh

Just a big ehhhhhhhh

Just big fit seeking missile this draft, I see.

[DroopyDawg]

No Butler huh...

[DaPelFromHell]

Who? Damn it just like Didi when I wanted Bol Bol lol

[ramsters60]

Butler or McBride and live with it....but no

[13 - 3]

I like that name Herb Jones

[Pelicanidae]

We pick again at 43.

Butler, McBride, Sharife, or trade it. If we keep it and then draft Ray'quan Grey I'll be annoyed.

[AusPel]

Griff gonna Griff

[Pelifan]

I like Herb as a culture guy, but this is a little early.

Better at 43 IMO.

[Taker597]

David said he wanted all the wings that can shoot from his command station from Wingstop.

I Might be dyslexic

[AusPel]

I like that name Herb Jones

Straight out of 1974

[13 - 3]

We got two Alabama players now

[DaPelFromHell]

My bad DEFENSE!! We need some of that lol

[HornetGuru]

I like Herb, he’s an elite defender

[hornetzplaya]

I don't think it's the worst pick. Not bad but not great either. I wonder what the big plan is during FA.

[AusPel]

Should have taken Cooper

[Pelicanidae]

Sources: Thunder at No. 36: Miles McBride.

Holy cow he looks like Langston Galloway

[donato]

nbadraft.net has the player comparison of Herbert Jones to Wesley Iwundu. It's good to know maybe our pick will one day be terrible.

[DroopyDawg]

Straight out of 1974

He's gotta be named after his grandpa.

[DaPelFromHell]

Butler looked better than Davion most of the year, but don’t know his full medical

[Biasvasospasm]

Good with that, too. Get all the 6’8” guys and see who can play.

[Taker597]

Atleast we got real depth behind Ingram, I suppose.

[Pelicanidae]

Should have taken Cooper

For real.

It's all well and good saying ''oh well we need X'' and then drafting for that but let's be honest: the odds your #35 pick makes any kind of impact in the league are extremely small. Drafting for fit on a guy that might easily never play a game for you is absurd.

Take the upside swing. Play them in summer league, play them in the G League, if you have something you have something and if you don't then you've lost nothing: it's not like you'd have played the mediocre #35 guy anyway.
