2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

[idiot]

If Vrenz could develop a mid-range jumper off of a hang dribble, he could be lethal.

Would have helped Ingles a ton, too. To me, this is one of the most unlikely skills to develop after being drafted.

OKC has three 2nd round picks with a couple high in the 2nd round. I wonder if our pick might be headed there.

Unless a prospect I wasn't expecting was there at #30, I'm all for trading down to get 2nd's to get better contracts. I also don't think there's a stark drop off in quality in this draft after you get through the first 20'ish picks or so.

Hoopshype is posting this ludicrous sounding rumor that the Lakers turned down SGA and the number 6 pick for Kyle Kuzma. See below.

Lol that’s hilarious. The dude who originally tweeted it is an OKC writer and he did it as an obvious joke.

Good grief my sense of humor has vanished today. I was under the impression he was serious. Probably because I’m under a deadline to finish a book chapter and am working like crazy. Excuses, excuses, I know.

Lol don’t sweat it! It’s just funny that it actually got aggregated.

I'm seeing Usman Garuba reach the 20s in a few mocks. He would be about the best-case scenario I could think of in the 20s.

Athleticism is badly needed on our team.

That's kind of been our mantra since... forever.

I’ve heard multiple times in radio interviews that he’d retire if he couldn’t play for the jazz. He’s not getting traded period!!

Then why are there rumors of us trading Joe “dunk life” Ingles?

Maybe that's the plan. We trade Joe to the Lakers and get a first... he walks in the office first day and gives everyone the bird and tells em to eff off. I want video.

Nah, Joe would finish out his contract - he's got that as a principle.

Its criminal he doesn't already have a statue to be honest... this would make him worthy of some sort of personal hall of fame. Maybe just rename the arena to Joe Ingles is a Badass Arena

NOLA makes out like bandits.

JV makes $14 this year and is expiring. Bledsoe and Adams combine to make $35 this year and $38 next year or $21 if Memphis waived Bledsoe.

All to move up seven spots to #10 and a protected 2022 pick?

Might be another move coming. Bundling picks to move up again or something.

 

[Hekate]

I am just excited to watch Keon Johnson and Josh Giddey play in the NBA.

Gets waived. Re-signs with Jazz. Wins title. Easy.
