2017-18 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD PART 1 ALL OF AMERICAS FAVORITE TEAMS ARE BACK

and gobert 27th! xp

thats gotta be the most wrongly ordered draft ever, the #1 pick is already out of the league!

that draft has to have the worst top 10 of all time. there's... 4 good players?

porter and dipo cld maybe slip into a game but mccollum is the only guy there that has legit allstar talent

C.J. McCollum went #10 in that draft and is probably the best player among the top ten.

and then theres a GOAT candidate and a perennial dpoy picked way after WTF!!!

like its actually a pretty good draft once u put in it the right order

I like your enthusiasm, giannis has a LONG way to go to even get near the ten best of all time.

thats true but hes still a legit candidate, something i dont think u cn say for anyone else currently playing not named LeBron

rip brow u r still very good at basketball tho

it has to be the only draft in the lottery era where the non-lottery picks are demonstrably better than the non-lottery picks

er, better than the lottery picks obv

interesting both giannis and gobert were foreign project types, tho neither of them really ended up being projects

if they had played in the ncaa both prob wldve been in the mix for #1

giannis is one of the greatest miracles in NBA history

there's something to be said for reading a draft, realizing most of the players are low ceiling and just swinging for the fences tho

yup

Curry stays on his path and he’s gonna be top ten all time. Maybe KD too.

Giannis is cool but he’s made one all star game and hasn’t really proven anything... yet.

curry imo is in danger of having a short peak, kd def if things go smoothly cld be in the pantheon

Every draft is full of foreign prospects. You just never know how much these guys are gonna care.

hes 22! its impossible to prove anything when ur 22!

Exactly

Top ten talk is very preemptive

alls im saying is he has the tools to do it, hes the only current guy who has the ceiling for it

i mean it prob wont happen, everyone else it def wont happen

interesting both giannis and gobert were foreign project types, tho neither of them really ended up being projects

it has to be the only draft in the lottery era where the non-lottery picks are demonstrably better than the non-lottery picks

Oh you said lottery era nvm

Oh wait I’m dumb that was the second lottery year!

IIRC the questions about Gobert were about his effort level and motor which seem to have been WILDLY misplaced

french big man bias at work

w/ the rest of what he does on the floor that's still a useful rotation player

if a couple guys in this draft pan out as multiple all-star types the pick will (and should) be considered a disaster.

God porzingis really has made the leap

hehe

really tho for all the talk there will be about lonzo being a bust... if he can even get to like austin rivers' level scoring production, w/ the rest of what he does on the floor that's still a useful rotation player

why is there a plumlee on my screen

this was a mistake

man if simmons shot wasn't a complete trainwreck the sky would be the limit

lonzo flirting with a first half jkidd triple double

i love simmons's hookfloater

watching the magic shooting % regressing in real time

man if simmons shot wasn't a complete trainwreck the sky would be the limit
