Agbaji about to fall to#53

[comahan]

i am pleased

[fenikz]

Huge steal by the 6ers

[Dr. Gonzo]

Loving this Koloko pick. Give the Raps all the long bois

[scottyboy]

RHJ goes undrafted and then signs with the raptors this is my hell

[Don Vito]

“Davison's 28% turnover percentage will be the highest of any player drafted in the past decade, as being thrown straight into the gauntlet of SEC defenses has been a definite learning experience.”

Makes sense, Celtics.

[p2w]

meh, he was the 53rd pick and is a great athlete, I'm all for the total long shot boom/bust guys at that stage

[Prock]

Now that I've read about Wendell Moore I like the pick. He can knock down corner threes and play solid on ball defense.

[fenikz]

Not many landing spots left for Ayton, definitely wouldn't mind him back at 4/131

[Fernando]

Yeah i don't think he's gonna give you a discount.

[Fernando]

Also, the Knicks will forever be the Knicks especially if they plan on offering Jalen Brunson $100M.

[fenikz]

Who left can even give him the max? SA and ORL? Can Phoenix give him more than the max but less than the super max? or is it a binary thing

[Fernando]

I don't think they can give him any more than what he'll get in the open market. And i'm sure plenty of teams can clear cap space to sign him if they really wanted to.

Also, saw a couple of minutes of Keegan Murray highlights and perused his college stats and i'm sold.

He may or may not become a star, not really what you want to hear for the #4 pick, but he is going to be an above average starter at the very least. If he can improve his mid range shot creation off the dribble he has a chance to be great. Also in no way needs the ball in his hands or high usage to make an impact.

Seems to have a solid jump shot and athletic enough to finish in the paint.

[Kyle]

I never really saw top 5 pick with Murray. He just always seemed to be scoring on the margins. Hustle plays, transition, put backs, etc. Not that you can't be a good player doing it that way but in the top 5 I'd rather have someone that is better at creating for themselves and others.

He's really good at finishing and his jumper is solid, he'll hit the open 3 or spot up jumper. He just needs to work on taking guys off the dribble for a jumper. He started to develop a back down, turnaround jumper late last year but not consistent.

Even though he's about to be 22 his game has developed pretty late, so the hope is with full time focus on basketball there's no reason he can't continue his upward trajectory.

You will love his dirty work on the glass and defense, he just knows where to be all the time and is a really intelligent player.

[fenikz]

Plus there is always value in just getting a player that fits your window, Kings should be play-in territory for the next few years at least

[Brodie]

He's pretty much topped out at Tobias Harris levels, which is fine but I don't know if I'd consider it top 4 level like Kyle keeps mentioning.
