2020 NBA Draft - Covid edition

7:30pm tonight on ESPN.

Who's going to tune in to see who the Pistons take at #7?

Will it be the super raw, never play meaningful minutes project?

Perhaps the low ceiling 3 year college player that serves a role playing sub for a few years?

My prediction it will be FSU forward Patrick Williams.


Stanley Johnson 2.0

Amazing how we pick low impact players year after year.

Pistons are acquiring veteran forward Trevor Ariza and the No. 16 pick from the Houston Rockets for a future first-round pick, ESPN reported. The Rockets acquired the pick from Phoenix in Monday's trade of Robert Covington.

Edit: The Pistons take on Ariza's contract. He's due $12.8 million this season, but only $1.8 million is guaranteed, so the Pistons can waive him without crushing their cap space.

So the big question is:

Two non impact players at 7 and 16?

or

Trade up and pick a bust at 2 or 3?

 

[sggatecl]

1-7, 1-16, + Snell or Rose (both expiring) for 1-2 (Lamelo Ball)?

New GM is busy.

 

[Mitchrapp]

The anticipation is killing me.

Top 3 were good picks.

I'm glad Okongwu went 6th because I'm tired of big defensive guys.

I hope you wanted a PG that can't shoot.

I'm not saying I hate the pick, he seems really good in all other facets. Him and Kennard could work great together.

Well he just can't shoot with his RH.

Older article but this guy thinks pretty highly of Hayes.

So we drafted a James Harden?

Pick 16 is Isaiah Stewart. Big guy but doesn't seem to be strictly a defensive guy. 'Has touch around the basket'. Led the Pac 12 in rebounding.

So we drafted a James Harden?

Similar mold, yeah.

 

[Mitchrapp]

The trade above said #16 in 2020 draft. Maybe they were mistaken and meant next season because Portland just drafted at 16.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Apparently the 3 sites I went to were stupid so Stewart.. I read where he's the toughest guy in the draft.

Did we just get 3 picks tonight ?
