I think this draft should be very eventful as this year's draft class isn't star studded. The first two picks are set but things will get unpredictable after that. With several teams without draft picks and a team like Boston holding a handful of picks, don't be surprised if there are plenty of trades.

It'll be interesting to see what the Hornets do with their pick. Will they stay put or will they trade it? They must consider the free agency period that looms when handling moves tonight. Any predictions?

This may be a deep draft but there really isn't a ton of talent. I think this makes for an interesting draft to watch.

First Round Order: 1. Sixers | Ben Simmons, LSU, 2. Lakers | Brandon Ingram, Duke , 3. Celtics | Jaylen Brown, Cal, 4. Suns | Dragan Bender, Croatia , 5. T'Wolves | Kris Dunn, Providence, 6. Pelicans | Buddy Hield, OU 7. Nuggets | Jamal Murray, Kentucky, 8. Suns | Marquese Chriss, Washington, 9. Raptors | Jakob Poeltl, Utah, 10. Bucks | Thon Maker, Australia  11. Thunder | Domantas Sabonis, Gonzaga, 12. Hawks | Taurean Prince, Baylor 13. Kings | Georgios Papagiannis, Greece, 14. Bulls | Denzel Valentine, MSU. 15. Nuggets | Juan Hernangomez, Spain 16. Celtics | Guerschon Yabusele, France 17. Grizzlies | Wade Baldwin IV, Vandy, 18. Pistons | Henry Ellenson, Marquette, 19. Nuggets | Malik Beasley, FSU, 20. Nets | Caris LeVert, Michigan, 21. Hawks | DeAndre Bembry, SJU, 22. Kings | Malachi Richardson, SU 23. Celtics | Ante Zizic, Croatia, 24. Sixers | Timothe Luwawu, France, 25. Clippers | Brice Johnson, UNC, 26. Sixers | Furkan Korkmaz, Turkey, 27. Raptors | Pascal Siakam, NMSU 28. Kings | Skal Labissiere, Kentucky, 29. Spurs | Dejounte Murray, Washington, 30. Warriors | Damian Jones, Vandy

well tonight was a bust.. getting all amped for the draft and .....

 

 

I was amped for the draft tonight because of the possibilities, and likelihood, of all the trades. I wasn't really excited to see who we'd pick at 22, so this trade doesn't  lessen the excitement for me.

I dont feel like looking, but iirc, didnt belinelli sign a 2 yr deal with sac last year?

I ask because it genuinely shows how stupid our FO is anx how skittish they are of drafting anyone now bc theyve been so bad at it.  Why do i say that?  Bc why trade a first round pick for a historically inconsistent outside shooter for one year, when if thats what you really wanted, you could target one in the draft and have him for 4 years or so?

Just stupid...  i already had low expectations going in after the last few drafts, but this was an even worse move than I couldve imagined.  We traded a first rounder for a MLE guy who shafted us in FA last year for a dysfunctional Sacramento team.  I give up...

He's signed for this year and next I believe. I will say it's extremely cap friendly.

So, there was an offer from the Bulls that would send Lavine, Pick 5 (Dunn) for Butler. I would have done that in a heartbeat if I was Minnesota. Especially since they already have Rubio. It's not like they are in dire need of a PG.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
