Seeking6 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Just now, IU Scott said: First surprise of the draft with Patrick Williams to the Bulls. He had 5 points and one rebound vs IU last year. Seems like a reach to me....but I don't follow the NBA game as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Welp, all the guys I was hoping would drop to the Celtics at 14 got taken in the 3 previous picks. Will be so Danny Ainge to take RJ Hampton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 1 hour ago, IU Scott said: It is hard for the pacers because they never pick in the top of the draft. Even this year having a top 5 pick does not even guarantee you getting an elite player. Listening to Fran Fraschilla he doesn't think any of projected top 5 picks will be an elite all star player. He thinks those players will be a third or 4th options on a good NBA team. He likes the players that will be picked in the middle of the draft better but doesn't see any real game changers in this draft. That’s why you have to move Myles or Vic and angle for a lottery pick. Maybe not even this years but next. Pacers always want players that can contribute right away. Established but they have to think outside the box. They are great at building a playoff team...but that is still a long shot from winning something. Have to find a star, develop a star, and fill in the pieces. I have confidence they can fill in the pieces...but they aren’t committed to winning big...it takes guts...maybe even losing but with no risk comes no reward.

You are a lottery pick one day and maybe fighting for a g league check the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt some teams that want to win now wanted to move picks but doesn’t seem it worked out. Of course Klays injury might have dampened GS desire to go all in this year.

This kid is apparently a shooter and Langford showed a lot of defensive potential last year. I would think if Nesmith is even an average defender he would win out over time. My only concern with Nesmith is I saw he only shot 34% from 3 two years ago, then he shot incredibly well last season but in an injury shortened season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Romeo to break out he will likely have to play somewhere else in the long run I’m afraid. but let’s see him get healthy first...pointless to speculate if he can’t do that.

tdhoosier Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 New GM. New Coach. Bulls still seem to defy the consensus. I'm getting fed up with Chicago sports. -Bears: "Let's trade up to get Mitch Trubisky....he seems better than Mahomes and Johnson" - Bulls: "Let's pick a project at the number 4 pick; when he's projected to go 8th." What is about Chicago that attracts sports executives who think they're smarter than everybody else? I want my Bulls team back....I barely watch their games these days. I hope I'm proven wrong, but don't think that's going to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard that yesterday as well. I did not know Edwards had lost his Mom and Grandmother within a year of each other and was homeless prior to Grandma taking him and Mom in. For those reasons alone I will pull for this kid. I did find it interesting when he said I dont love basketball but am just really good at it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePaulieWalnuts Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Random thoughts... Philly really remade their roster and added some shooters. Also got Maxey in the draft, who I like. I like Precious, has a high motor like Adebayo, Harrell, etc. Great fit with the Heat. I think the Raptors got another draft steal in Malachi Flynn. Haliburton was a steal for the Kings.
