Official 2024 draft thread

Many people keep saying this, and I’m not a huge fan of ZR, but he was always mocked to go first or second. 

[CJB]

This sucks. I wanted Clingan

[SerbianHawk]

This might be the worst first pick in the history of sports.

Clingan still there at 6

Dude ain't coming here. Landry doesn't know how to negotiate. 

[ShooterSays]

If there’s any way to get Knecht…Do it.

[h4wkfan]

Yes!!! No Clingan!!! There’s a win in my book.

Because he is a non US player and that's the thing? I dunno...

I'm not trying to falsely raise any hopes. I was told late this afternoon Reed or Risacher was the pick but if Risacher there's a 50 50 chance he's traded draft night. 

Nah I understand. Love ur tidbits

Like I said before...I challenged people in here to show me something exciting about him and they still haven't responded lol

 

 

He is gonna overshadow the Luka/Trae debate in NBA circles.  Sarr is the real deal.  Watch how the Hawks get clowned for this.

NBA is so obsessed with archetypes. Without any ball handling or creativity, it's hard to see a pathway to stardom for Risacher.

Or worse.....Cam Reddish 2.0. 

If he's Cam with a better jump shot, that's not terrible. I'll reserve judgment until Summer League. 

[Iverwig]

It’s so frustrating being a fan of this team.  Fields sucks.

My man. That is exactly NOT what you said. Literally 15 minutes ago. I got love for you man, but don't hide. 

I have no idea what you are talking about. If we're trading Risacher the most connected trade partner was the Spurs. Hence why I said wait for the Spurs pick.

So are we done or what? 

More done than an overcooked steak. You can change the channel at any time. I am...

[Jody23]

Trae hasn't welcomed him publicly like he has with past Atlanta draftees, has he?

I don’t scout or meet and talk to these players, so I have no idea. I’m just saying it has been out there for awhile and I’m not surprised. I wanted a trade back, but almost every other team would have probably picked the same guy. So I’m not going to complain, yet…

And then acted all coy like you knew that they already had done the trade-joker. 

It really doesn't matter though.
