Haven’t caught up with the thread but what’s the overall consensus on Coby White? His athleticism is pretty impressive from the games I’ve watch. Seems a bit out of control at times tho

perfect for suns imo

We call that Darko Saric where I'm from...

 

[B Sox]

Don’t know much about Claxton other than I guess he’s a big that can apparently handle the ball and pass, but I think the other 3 are guys that you can clearly project as being guys that can fill a certain role for your team. Lots of those dudes in this draft, IMO.

 

[gaiiige]

I see Coby White as a scorer/6th man off the bench for a good team

Cavs aren’t sold on Collin Sexton? Why are they slated to draft Darius garland?

If they think he’s the BPA, just take him. They need everything.

 

[Platinum State]

I got a feeling Hachimura's gonna be one of the steals of the draft. Cant believe everyone's expecting him to go 10-15. Dude should be 6 or 7th easily.
Doumboya has bust written all over him.
Also cant believe the RInger got Bol Bol at 29. Wtf man? Its stupid to pass up on him after 20
Cant trust these mock's anyway

Rui & De’Andre are the players I feel most confident about being over drafted.

They’re not good imo.

Not good is harsh, I think. They just don't look like superstar potential and I think that's throwing people off

Easily my favorite draft moment.

Easily.

The more I watch coby white, the more I like him. It’s going to be ugly for him at first but I like his upside

[dman14]

who is doing the draft coverage this yr?
SAS, fran, bilas, jay/jalen?

 

[ballinsam23]

Pelicans plan on playing Zion at the 5?

Can trade #4 for Kevin Love if that’s the case.

 

[mustbetheshoe58]

wouldnt mind getting hachimura to wizards with the 9th pick
