@@OsumasI think trying to get a big Guard like Castle is better, then we can also try to get a scoring punch like knecht at 8. We could have all 6’5 players and taller which Pop would love because that’s where he thinks the league is going
French here (sorry for my bad English) so happy to see all these French talents being at the top of the draft, I just hope they won’t feel too much pressure following after Wemby and his great success so far
Houston here. We aren't trading the pick for Ingram. He just isn't an Ime Udoku type of player. Cam isn't going anywhere either. fr though no picks or anything else to houston makes this a joke
Salaun going at 12 is because he is super inconsistent and has a incredibly high ceiling but a really low floor if he isn't developed right. I love the fit of him in OKC because they have proven to be very good with developing young players. He might be my favorite prospect in this draft class, he could be MPJ or he could be Aleksej Pokuscevski it all depends on if he has the right developmental system.
Dilly will be the next Kyrie!😮 Both have the same knock coming in... excellent handles and shooters but undersized. Rob knows how to manipulate defenders and score inside with ridiculous skill
Honestly I was just looking up players for the draft earlier today . As a fan of the 2024 championship Celtics I was looking at the big man position. After looking at some of these the kids tapes the player who stood out was Kel’el Ware. Some issues stuck out during this finals when KP went out , one of them was the interior presence at the rim. This kid can block shot for sure , he’s like a Rob Williams with a better offense out of college . I’m telling you Kenny as a basketball fan you would see how this kid would add to the Celtics.
Devin Carter and Reed Sheppard both make all rookie first team. I think people are sleeping on Reed Shepherd but if you watch them play you can see that he had a really good long-range 3 that will transfer easily into the NBA. When that dude shoots on target the ball makes an amazing sound going through the hoop. I also think that Devin Carter is going to be a really good NBA player. Both of these guys have pretty different play styles but are solid at a lot of different things. Carter is an amazing rebounding guard. There are definitely some sleepers in this year's draft.
Houston aint trading any of the core 6 for anyone... Green/Sengun/Bari/Tari/Amen/Cam aint going anywhere so i really hate when people create these trades with those in mind.
As a Rockets fan that trade me is the worst case scenario, to me Cam is a bucket and part of our future and with our timeline brings no less than Brandon Ingram brings, charlotte would fleece both teams in that trade, they would be giving up miles bridges and a worse pick for Cam who shouldve been much higher than a top 20 pick and pick 3, it would be a real punch in the gut. With Marcus Smart seemingly being a part of the grizzles future I'd assume we will be keeping the pick unless Brooklyn change their stance on Mikal
I think the Spurs might be going after one of those point guards a little bit earlier than this mock says. If it weren't for the injury I would really like to see Topic on the team. I'm wondering how long it would be until he was called "Hot Topic?" Especially if he goes to the Heat. Lol.
Kenny new basketball reference challenge i thought of. Getting from a one team guy to Ish Smith, So you start with a one team guy, for example Dyson Danels, and you then have to find a 2 team guy that he has played with, CJ Mcollum, then 3 team guy cj has played with (Meyers leonard) then 4 teams Grayson Alllen (played on the Bucks) and continue untill you get up to Ish Smith, Not sure if its possible but would love to see u try. ps i couldnt find a 5 team guy grayson has played with goodluck!
I feel like Dalton Knect's game has his ceiling being a Desmond Bane type thing... A very good scorer... Sort of an amazing 6th man boost... I see a scoring comparison with him and Benedict Mathurin.
That trade at # 4 is nasty work imo. We already have Tre Jones & Blake Westley as the 2nd & 3rd string PGs - trading back (losing Keldon) just to draft a PG while also getting Marcus Smart?? Boneheaded play, imo. I do like Dillingham though and I'd like to use one of our picks to get him.
A starting Lineup of PG: LaMelo SG: Reed Sheppard SF: Cam Whitmore PF: Brandon Miller and C: Mark Williams would finally be something hornets fans can look forward to
As a Jazz fan I’d be happy with Holland. Unless there is a crazy drop from one of the higher rated players. Take a flyer on a guy who was previously ranked very highly but then went to the G league team that was so awful it’s hard to know what he really is. He did put up ok numbers against grown men. Worth a shot. But that’s the feeling I get with everyone in this draft…worth a shot. I feel the same about Matas.
San Antonio-Memphis trade is not good for the Spurs. The Spurs do not need oft-injured, overpaid player in Marcus Smart, a back-up forward in Ziarie Williams, the #9 pick, #39 pick, and some nebulous second-round pick in 2025, in exchange for the #4 pick and Keldon Johnson. I would rather hang on the #4 pick and Keldon Johnson, who has a favorable contract.Regardless of who the Spurs get at #4. That player and Keldon Johnson would be worth more that what Memphis is offering. Barf 🤮🤮🤮🤮 on this trade ides. As a Spurs fan, I an unexcited about the 23-year-old to be Dalton Knecht at 8. Now, the #9 picks get traded away. And for what? The #11 pick and the 2025 Portland first-round lottery protected pick (basically nothing). Another stupid trade Then after all is said and done, the Spurs get the fast-falling, undersized, no-defense playing Rob Dillingham at #11. So, for the 4 and 8 picks, the Spurs wind up with Memphis casts offs, Dalton Knecht and Rob Dillingham. What a waste of time and picks.
Cuz everyone for some odd reason think that Keldon doesn’t fit with the spurs when that’s not case at all and probably won’t be moved unless spurs make a big trade
That's what im saying That Colorado team last year was loaded, they just got bombarded with injuries. Highly suggest watching some KJ Simpson tape, absolute beast. Hit an insane game winner against Florida in the First Round of the NCAA tournament
Hornets should draft Donovan Clingan with the 6th. He rebounds as well as mark williams. He has a post game witch mark williams still doesn't have. He has a potential 3 point range jump shot, witch Also mark doesn't have. And most Underrated of all.. He Has the passing gift. Witch Mark will never have. I think he is the right pick for there future. Big man that can pass dont grow on trees... Pack up mark with Bridges and get some draft capital for the next few years. Hornets need a defensive identity....
So you're telling me there is going to be a Nikola Jokic, Nikola Jovic, AND a Nikola Topic all in the league at the same time?
There’s also a Nikola Djurisic in this draft
Dont forget that there’s a Nikola Vucevic too
Waiting for Nikola Covic in next years draft
The Joker, The Jovial and the Topical 🤷♂️
Also nikola vucevic in Chicago and nikola vukcevic in Washington

That was a joke not dyslexia
He is not a day over 34.

Too much for too little. Bad trade proposal.

So you don’t like beat-up Marcus Smart, a stiff, and three weak draft picks in exhange for the #4 pick in the draft and Keldon Johnson? I don”t either
Salaun at 4 and Carter at 8
Been a Wizards fan for 14 years and I can never remember a player trying to force their way here
Kenny giving out free game to an independent site. What a guy, solid as always.

I'm not saying he's the same but they said the same things about Jimmer and that didn't turn out great.
@@tonyschimmoeller they said the same things about Steph Curry too. If you land somewhere in the middle he'll still be a pretty damn good player.

Rockets giving up No.3, No. 44, Cam Whitmore (no.20 last year), & 2 solid rotation players in Tate and Landale for 1 year of Ingram is awful

and idk enough about Knecht to have a strong opinion. I know Sheppard can shoot, but supposedly this kid can too, so I guess I'd have an open mind.
Its just a bad trade, period. On the the other hand, I am no fan of no-defense Dillingham
