BarnsNBA DRAFT MEGA THREAD
ThePrideOfGoffamCityI typically hate to brag, but I predicted Vic to Spurs
You're somewhat of a Woj yourself
Pay me plz
Best I can do is one upvote, take good care of it!
The Blazers had to draft Scoot to trade the pick... Let's see how this cooks...
Ph0mXI like how they added JJ to the ESPN panel instead of perkins
More twins in the league to confuse the announcers
I wonder if Bilal and Wemby will be playing for the Fiba team this summer
God please let the bulls trade DeMar and not Zach tonight
We got Dick boys, Raps in Six with the Dick.
VodkaSolution a bit disappoint as a megathread lol
Lol yeah, I'm dipping in a bit but kinda dead. Bulls don't have a pick so I only have a passing interest anyhow
quite the same here: Cavs fan, we have like the 300th pick
Community's still pretty new and there's not much in the way of mobile apps for Lemmy right now. Probably would have been more posters otherwise. I can't even login on my ipad through the browser, haven't been able to figure out why yet.
Jerboa works fine for me. I like it better than Baconreader, which I used for a long time, and definitely better than any of the other apps I tried for that one website.
StillPaisleyCatSafari works for me. Better than Edge or Firefox on a PC.
Make sure that you’re trying to sign into the right instance however. This is a common problem as all the instances have similar looking signin pages, but you can only get in through the instance where you set up your account. Just type in the url of your instance and then select login from the menu.
In terms of apps, Mlem for iPhone (and possibly iPad?) is improving by leaps and bounds in the past two weeks. Still very beta, and as far along as the Android one, but functional to a significant extent. A new version should be coming out this weekend.
Why does nba.com list J. Hood-Schifino at 6-4 but then in their analysis call him a 'big point guard, standing at 6-foot-6'? Weak. Anyway, I am not sure about the pick considering that the Lakers need to get better ASAP. Seems like a pick for the post-Lebron future, I guess.
Yeah but don't they need PG help? Idk who you draft at that position that helps you win now. Suppose you can deal it but maybe they were getting shit offers.
I was really hoping they would take Jaime Jacquez Jr. I think he's an instant contributor and would have fit Leborn's timeline. Plus he would have been an instant crowd favorite. I guess the Heat thought so too and picked him up 1 spot later.
Yes, that was my first thought too seeing Jacquez Jr. at the 18 spot. I thought maybe I was biased because of UCLA affiliation but either way he's seasoned as hell compared to all these one and done players. I feel like Miami picked him for just that reason, and I have no doubt he'll give them valuable minutes during their 2024 playoff run.
LimesMan I was hoping the Spurs would trade up again but I have confidence they will find another gem at 33.
Who are Thunder trading now after this pick? Mann and JRE gone + 2024 picks for future ‘25+s?
Whitmore falling has to be one of the bigger surprises. Think he was still being mocked in the top ten before today. Also happy to see Strawther go in the first round, to the Nuggets no less.
I actually like the draft the Blazer have. Scoot is a great pick. Murray is a wing that can contribute now. And Rupert is a defensive steal, low risk second round steal.
Maybe we can convert a few guys. But this was great for the Blazers.
