CTMagicUK 1,459 Report post Posted July 29, 2021 EDIT: I think this is smoke and we don't want someone to trade up to pick the guy we actually like (which makes me think it's one of Franz, Giddey or Sengun) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SolidSn/\ke007 61 Report post Posted July 29, 2021 Hopefully we pass on Scottie, how many times are we going to try and chase the Giannis archetype? Barnes to me is a Draymond Type who is valuable on any team but i'm not sure about drafting him 5th overall, we're drafting glue guys top 5 now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,459 Report post Posted July 29, 2021 Why do I feel like if we draft Barnes he'll be a really good glue guy but if Toronto drafts Barnes they'll somehow turn him into a superstar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harley 61 Report post Posted July 29, 2021 I’m tipping a Suggs and Williams draft. What ever happens I’m sure we’ll get behind who ever we pick. I’m in Australia so gonna try get some sleep somehow. Cheers for content last few weeks lads. Bright future ahead No doubt! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are guys in the draft that can already shoot. There are guys in this draft that have meat on their bones and can play basketball. Can we get 1 of each please. I think there’s a healthy balance between drafting guys who could take 3-4 years to show wether or not they’re worth having as a starter in the NBA, and drafting guys who are 90% the player they are ever going to be on the day you draft them. I personally hope we don’t take players who fit either of the above lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve had the same thought except about OKC taking him, which might make me wanna puke even worse.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJZFL 611 Report post Posted July 29, 2021 At times in the past, we started another thread when it was time for the actual draft. Not sure whether we want to do that this year or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
