2024 NBA Draft Reaction Thread

[KqWIN]

I forget which NFL team it was, but there was one who were so sold on a prospect that they avoided all contact as to not tip off their other teams. Didn’t invite him to work out, didn’t interview him, didn’t even say his name to people in the org.

Other teams that actually did do their due diligence snuffed out some red flags and he would have fallen if the team who purposely ignored him not taken him.

I’m not saying this happened with Holland, but from the outside this is what that looks like lol. Drafting players without a workout happens all the time, it’s usually doesn’t happen when the guy is projected way below and you made no contact at all.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

1. Edey
2. Sarr
3. Knecht
4. Clingan
5. Williams

I think I would go:

1. Clingan
2. Sarr
3. Risacher
4. Knecht
5. Carter

Maybe Langdon worked him out in NOLA when he was still there...

Yeah, think it's pretty common. Utah didnt workout Hendricks I believe.

He visited. He didn’t workout because he was injured.

Also there was a rumor out there put out by a Pistons beat writer than Langdon didnt like the G-League prospects. It seems like Detroit wanted to the "Holland is falling" narrative to stick.

Not sure. Sarr should get a lot of run in Washington. I think our guy Williams has a shot at one of the All Rookie teams.

I would offer 32 + Yurt for Portland's 34 and 40 (goes into exception). Also drops the salary for more room.

Why on Earth would Portland want Yurt when they got Clingan and Ayton?

Shooter from the 5. They want to move Ayton this summer.

Cousin, Yurt is not a shooter

It's relative. Compared the other guys on their roster.
