2020 NBA Draft

[MFFL]

Shocking pick for Suns but you can't teach size

[tap2390]

Good.

Smith over Vassell is a shock.

[sefant77]

Yeah watch Poku going #17

Co-sign. He’s dumb.

Of course Vassell falls to the Spurs.

Both of them going before Haliburton was crazy

Haliburton was mocked as high as 6th

So close... yet so far away. Good night my sweet.

[sefant77]

Pistons pick steward

So one of Poku or Precious is going to be there

[tap2390]

I knew Stewart was going earlier than people thought. Kids a beast inside.

[DIRK LEGIONS]

They get a much needed veteran shooter and we get a legit 3-D wing who can handle the ball.

Would Curry/#18 for Richardson/#34 or #36 have any chance?

Great prediction. Fortunately the 76ers didn't value Richardson quite as high as you did

Woooooo. Always good news.

Richardson is going to be sick. He's one of the best defenders of PGs/SGs and we got wrecked by both last year.

Plus there's hope that he's actually a decent 3pt shooter when open. Doncic is going to get him some open shots.

Totally agree about his defense - I always cringed when DFS went off the floor.
Richardson's defense and length really going to help.

11) Patrick Williams
12) Precious Achiuwa
13) Saddiq Bey
14) Desmond Bane
15) Aaron Nesmith
16) Josh Green
17) Kira Lewis
18) Tyrese Maxey
19) Cole Anthony
20) Tyrell Terry
21) RJ Hampton
22) Jalen Smith
23) Tyler Bey

What a draft IMO. At least 23 players who can come in and either immediately contribute or have some nice upside.

And we wound up with 3 of those players. Pretty good odds that at least ONE of them will be a contributing player for us

LOL....yeah I have to admit Donnie is smarter than me at BB.
I would have been ecstatic for a straight up Seth for Richardson deal.

[rimrocker]

Do these moves make Brunson available for trade?
Or Does it mean Burke may not get re-signed?

They like Brunson and he's on contract, but they'd be insane to say he's untouchable.

Burke is tricker. I think they like him despite his defensive lapses. He's a complete UFA and I think they want to keep him on a small deal while maybe grabbing another upgrade. I could see them blowing their wad on one player while he walks after a low offer. We need him cheap and that's where it gets so tricky.

A bit late as the draft is over, but I really like this website and agree with quite a few of their draft takes:

Never forgiving tweedle dee and tweedle dumb for not drafting Desmond Bane.

Crazy to think how much better this team could be had they drafted him.

[tap2390]

Don't get me wrong, Desmond Bane is nice. He benefits a lot from playing next to Ja. The real prize we whiffed on is Tyrese Maxey. Putting up similar numbers to Bane, but 2 years younger and bears a lot of the ball handling duties (pre-Harden). It literally hurts my heart to watch him play.

Lots of teams passed on Bane and Maxey, so it's at least understandable to miss out on those two.

Bey was the easy and obviously choice. He isn't shooting well this season, but he is still a productive player.

But this is what you get when your FO is in love with guys like DFS and THJ. I truly believe they drafted guys they knew wouldn't play. Hell, even when Josh Green plays well, he still doesn't get minutes.
