    Lonzo is out again...

    I wonder what Portland does w Lillard?  They just drafted a guard?

    Lakers draft a ball handler.  Are they going to let someone other than Lebron run the floor?  It would save his legs over the course of the season.

    A lot of trades going on.  That's nuts.

    Does the Jordan curse continue and Brandon miller becomes mediocre?

    I'm not surprised that Drew Timme went undrafted.  He will get picked up as a back up or G league it.  Somebody will have a need for him.

    The Wizards trade a scorer in Beal but draft a defender in Bilal.  Dude has some ups though.

    Jett Howard.  I did not know that Juwan had a son playing.  It will be interesting to see how he plays in the NBA.

    Any moves or picks interesting to you?

    The twins at 4 & 5 was unexpected going off mock drafts but nice to see.  I'm rooting for those two.
    If he matures and gets his head on straight, GG Jackson at #45 could be a steal. Dude has the talent and athleticism to make it, just a question of if he can get there mentally. Looking back on it, he shouldn't have reclassified and stayed in the 2023 class.

    I hope you’re right.

    I don't see Memphis as the place to promote maturity.  Dude is big and had only one breakout game but hey, you never know?

    I watched fil on Wemby and I'm in.  He will do fine.

    Realizing how big he is he will have a shot that is undefendable.  If he gets a rhythm just keep feeding him the ball.

    I question if Memphis is the right spot for him too. I watched all his games last year and there was definitely a reason he was the top ranked player in the class of 2023 before he reclassified to 2022. It's probably going to take 2-3 years in the g league before he's ready to contribute though.

    Well Bronny's career might be over before it begins...

    Dude suffered a cardiac arrest.  Thankfully he will make a full recovery and live a healthy life, screw bball if it means he can have a full life.
  • PoncierPoncier Posts: 17,053
    Yeah, that's incredibly scary.
    Hope he's properly diagnosed and can live a full long life whether playing hoops or not.

    Combination of a few things. Basketball around the world is vastly improved/catching up and this team was far from the true A team that the USA could have taken.

    We will need another Dream Team to revolutionize American basketball again apparently.

    Totally agree with the Giannis and Ginnobli.  Unfortunately the NBA is the end all be all.  It's not quite like the World Cup.  People put more stock in an NBA finals than a World title here.
