NBA Draft Thread

Did not see that one coming, bout like Miles Plumlee being drafted in the first round in 2012.
I expected maybe #21 , just not #11. Local sports radio guy in Raleigh was saying he was going in 2nd half of lottery and everyone laughed at him.
I think they said one of the Suns’ GM knew Cam from an early age (IIRC). But it’s still a come up!
Whole damn ACC drafted in the first round
Don’t see how you don’t like this kid he’s plays hard and is a pretty good player. If the “flex” gets to you I don’t see how you like any player in college basketball. They all do it.
Keldon Johnson went way later than I expected after he got his green room invite and pre-draft chatter. Probably ended up about where I thought he would before his green room invite, to be fair.
UK with 3 first round picks. Obviously they made the Final Four this past year.
Does anyone else think of Pac-Man when they see ATL's logo?
Sometimes I don't think we appreciate how hard it is just to get drafted. Take a peek at some of these names

Ky Bowman, Boston College
Tyus Battle, Syracuse
Marcquiese Reed, Clemson
Justin Robinson, Virginia Tech
Phil Booth, Villanova
Shamorie Ponds, St.John's
Dedric Lawson, Kansas (still confused by this? how? DL can play)
Dean Wade, Kansas State
Sagaba Konate, West Virginia
James Palmer, Nebraska
Juwan Morgan, Indiana
Jordan Murphy, Minnesota
Ethan Happ, Wisconsin
Charles Matthews, Michigan

I’m guessing Dedric Lawson’s peak vertical jump of 9 inches did him in.
He is skilled but I cant see him being any sort of impact player with his total lack of athleticism.
He can shoot and rebound. 9 foot standing reach. Good skillset. Obviously he wouldn't own the paint in the NBA like he does in college, but seems like he would do well enough to at least be a backup 4?
Hopefully! I just don't see him being able to guard effectively and score over NBA length and athleticism.
Also, I saw he had a max vert of 28.5 in the 2016 combine. I know 28.5 inches isn't anything to brag about, because it's very, very below average for a basketball player. But, John Henson had a max vert of 30 inches, and he's regarded as very good shot-blocker. Just think there's a lot more to basketball than what some of those athletic measurement tests tell us.
Jesus Christ! Keep it in the circus!Yes, that's him! Class of 2006. Look at this neck!
Shocked someone didn’t take a flyer on Naz Reid.
But dang am I happy for Mfiondu and Terance Mann. Two of the hardest working, selfless individuals you’ll ever meet. Kabengele is so much about the team that he had the name of all 17 of his teammates at FSU stitched into the lining of his suit jacket so they “could be in the green room with him.”
Second time in three years FSU had two guys selected. Mfiondu went from virtually no scholarship offers to a first round pick and Mann went from the 100th best player in his class to a top 50 pick through 4 years of hard work.
Lookout for the L.A. Seminoles!

Matthews probably would have gotten drafted without the recent ACL tear.
Point still stands though.
Good stuff.
I saw UK, FSU, Michigan, and I think three others were the only schools to have multiple draft picks in both the NBA and NFL draft.
