2018 NBA Draft Lottery
- Thread starter Marbleheader
- Start date
Josh Jackson, your team was so awful, you were one of the worst teams in the NBA and you we're a key pick last year and you still f'ing sucked, what's your reaction?
i dunno. doncic will def. make a difference for the kings. but with any luck they go bagley or something crazy
These talking heads blathering on and on about how the Suns need a superstar, and how they have 3 picks in the top 31, so this is an opportunity to remake their roster. Not a single one has uttered the names Devin Booker and Josh Jackson, as if they literally have no talent there at this point.
“Wild night in Chicago, guys! Now it’s time to go home and drink some warm milk before bedtime. Crazy!”
Great broadcast, NBA. Fire someone.

8th pick plus Crowder plus ZizicAnd Cavs traded Kyrie for #8 pick
Don't forget Zizic
Alright alright alright
This is so bad that there is no way it’s not on purpose.
I’m going to have to watch it again later for the humor I missed

It's like they were walking around with signs that said 'Quiet' the entire time. But, really... when you fire all of your on-air talent and hire bloggers who've never been on tv before..who could have seen this coming? Plus..the interviewer? If I'm Adam Silver I go to the execs at ESPN and ask..'Really?'.. she asked maybe five questions and uncovered nothing interesting.
Annualized that would be a 50% chance of getting struck by lightning over 21 years.
The idea of making it an hour long is insane anyways. Everyone’s here for one thing.
I agree. I do like the captain obvious commercial where he is like “where my dogs at? Oh, right here.”
One of the old DraftXpress/basketballboards.net guys. So, yeah, he pretty much did take a night off from posting on the internet.
I'd bet if Sacramento takes Doncic that he stays in Europe.
Nobody wants that stink on them.
Yeah, he should. It would be really sad to see him waste his career in that shitshow.
Last #8 pick to be an All-Star? Vin Baker.
I think the last time the Cs traded the #8 pick to CLE it was the infamous round draft pick) with Andrew DeClercq plus pick for Vitaly Potapenko. That pick turned out to be Andre Miller.

I’m not sure the Suns have drafted badly in recent years. The early returns on Bender and Jackson haven’t been good, but there isn’t a GM in the league who would’ve passed on Jackson, and most would’ve taken Bender too. Booker was an inspired selection, and Bogdanovic was also good value where they drafted him. Alex Len was their only high pick this decade I’d say was questionable ex ante, and even there, they only missed out on Nerlens Noel (Giannis and McCollum were on the board, but no one had them ranked as high as #5.)
Edit: The Suns have drafted 4th (twice) and 5th this decade, so they were overdue for some ping-pong ball luck.

Not that my draft chops are worth much, but I thought Jackson was a pretty bad pick at #4 at the time. From what I've read, a few teams (including Orlando) would have Isaac there.
But to reiterate, I also had a hissy fit when Danny drafted Jaylen ahead of Bender, so...

This is even better than I thought. Sacramento's winning ping ball number combination was 14-7-6-8 to get to the #2 pick. One of Cleveland's combos was 14-7-8-9. They were THIS close to getting the #2 pick but did not get it.

I know it happens every year, but seeing the CW on this draft shift from being 5-6 deep with potential franchise changers to a two player draft is still funny.
