2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

C’mon, snag Garrett guys. Butler and Garrett had some epic battles in the Big 12.

Garrett, a naismith defensive player of year, called Jared Butler the most talented offensive player he has ever guarded.

So is Butler the dude the Jazz were targeting with all that smoke of trading up? If so... the Jazz were blackout drunk at the casino tonight and are gonna wake up tomorrow with a million bucks and not remember how.

Maybe I took the analogy too deep, but the point is that is some CRAZY gambling if that is how it played out.

Weird draft. Not one NBA vet traded during the draft. Just picks. Don't remember the last time that happened.

Lolololololol.
But whats the banana bread story?

I mentioned that my wife made banana bread as a comfort food cuz I’d need it… the joke just kinda ran as the night went on… guess you had to be there.

Grizzlies drafted both Ziaire Williams and BJ Boston, a couple of upside swings. Both are likely to be at the SLC Summer League.

I literally think we discussed using Ingles to move up to draft Butler around 13-15. Got some intel that he would be slipping due to medical reasons and went from there. Your analogy is pretty spot on.

Yes it was the guy. They may have had intel so I’m fine with gambling… JZ got some stones.

Well, there was that Russell Westbrook thing just as the draft was getting started.

Regardless whether he was or wasn’t, we’re going to be hearing that he was.

These stones will be the next statue.

I’d be curious to know what this medical issue is. People generally have a very poor prognostication of what is serious and what isn’t outside of orthopedic issues. General health appraisals are horrible in the sports world. Doesn’t sound like this is reported at all what it is. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was no big deal that everyone is apparently freaking out about. I’m not saying it is, just that it wouldn’t surprise me at all. It’s been known about for years.

It’s something with his heart.
