I also did not expect to see Edey picked in the top 10. Some of these guys either had killer private workouts or interviewed well I guess. Surprised Pop didn't want Buzelis mostly.

Giroux · 06-26-2024, 08:06 PM

Most of the guys picked in this range will suck, no? I think Edey could be a useful player

tjforce · 06-26-2024, 08:07 PM

Man, this is a bad draft if you are trading pick 8 for a pick in 2031.

jcardstore · 06-26-2024, 08:08 PM

What a horrible pick by the grizzlies lmao

daeve · 06-26-2024, 08:11 PM

Then Utah steals Cody Williams lol

I will never understand how teams can place proper value on a pick that's 7 years away. It seems very arbitrary.

spurs50fan · 06-26-2024, 08:11 PM

There’s no way the Spurs flipped a #8 for picks 6 years from now…no way

jcardstore · 06-26-2024, 08:12 PM

I would love the fit if the Bulls take Matas here

Scottish Punk · 06-26-2024, 08:13 PM

Edey just feels like a plug and play replacement for Adams.

He's going to learn NBA refs won't be like college refs and all him to manhandle other players and not get called for a foul.

I mean there isn't anybody that feels like they have a wow factor in this draft. The ultimate wait and buy rookies after a few years kind of draft.

Absolutely love it. I think I found my next PC player.

They got their guy at #4 and then decided to punt. Not a bad strategy in a tough draft.

I have to assume that the Spurs looked at 8 and said "There is literally no one left that can provide an immediate return, so lets roll the dice 7 years from now"

What's nuts about it is that it is likely to be a worse pick when it happens.

Giroux · 06-26-2024, 08:18 PM

Gotta be awesome to grow up in Chicago then get drafted by the Bulls

He'll be getting plenty of run on a revamped Chitown squad. Especially if they can find someone to ditch Lavine.

I wouldn’t be shocked if they trade derozan on an expiring too. Bulls tank season.

Only pushback is that the Spurs have glaring holes at several positions. Even a weak draft can plug some of them. May be something else brewing

bigjbasketball · 06-26-2024, 08:32 PM

Some absolute smokeshows with Topic and Anthony Carter. Always the best part of every draft.

yiguiri2002 · 06-26-2024, 08:37 PM

This is the happiest I've been since...I don't even remember. Lonzo was healthy and we were winning games?

I'm on the Matas train, let's go

T Wolves barely have any picks for the rest of the decade and their guys will be old and cooked by 2031. It could end up being the #1 pick and they could be in the middle of a championship run in 6 years

My knee jerk reaction was to hate the trade because we need a PG so badly. But I’m gonna trust the organization

Giroux · 06-26-2024, 08:38 PM

Nothing dumber than the pick having to wear the hat of the team that basically just traded him away

mjekase · 06-26-2024, 08:41 PM

Yeah, why they can't just announce trades as they happen is still one of the dumber things about the NBA draft.

Before social media ruined everything. The “there has been a trade” announcement during NBA & NFL Drafts was one of the most exciting moments possible
