2019 NBA Draft

[amekidelli9000]

I do agree with what you said about the Suns, but is Morant really the good guy as well then ?

Regarding the Knicks, if you take into account KD being a Knick starting spankbang redtube porn600.me next season, then this changes everything and you're right of course.

To be honest, I'm still not event totally convinced that Morant is the best pointguard in 2019 draft class anyway, even with Darius Garland's injury.

Exactly. It's not about nationalities, but about if you come from NCAA (or HS) or not.
Other examples are frenchmen Jaylen Hoard and spankbang redtube porn600.meKillian Tillie (even if the last one finally decided to skip)

One player that 2 years ago I strongly believed should make the league and leave some impact is Tadas Sekerskis (6'8 SF).

Suns\Knicks\Magic - providede they aren't 1st pick. right now I see no reason for any team to pass on Zion. Sure, there is a chance he doesnt pan out but that can be said to every rookie.I see Zion become better a little bit later though but the upside is crazy high. he'll probably start as a PF and depending how he develops, can be an SF. though I hope he manages his weight all through out because all that jumping will take its toll on his knees if he doesnt get a reliable shooting.

Good start for Zion in the SL. One quarter and he's out from SL for good. I never have such feeling, but I have a feeling he will be a sad story.

He’s fine not hurt or anything just an excuse actually not to risk anything. They have all training camp and preseason for that. But i also worry about his future. That weight has to be murder on the knees.

So let's assume Zion is selected with the first pick and one of these teams have the 2nd choice. I do agree they could need a pointguard, but would this really be the best choice for them not to select R.J. Barrett (who is still my favourite to be 1st before Zion by the way) ? R.J. could totally play with Devin Booker for the Suns and would be a perfect pick for the Knicks as well. Regarding the Magic, it's very hard to anticipate right now : if we look at their current roster, a point guard might be better than Barrett, but there is a very high possibility that they destroy the team during interseason if they don't reach the playoffs (by "destroying", i mean Vučević out, Fournier out and I'm not sure about Gordon) and then R.J. would be the best fit to rebuild from scratch in my opinion. https://www.pornjk.com/tags/xxnx/ https://www.redtube.social https://www.porn600.me/tags/jiggle-p...e-businessman/

It's not about the numbers. Zion has a freakish athletic ability, that is hard to match and should represent an edge with his game in NBA. At 270 pounds, being as explosive is something I haven't imagine possible. He might be using bullying with his body a bit too much at the college level, for my taste, not entirely sure how that will translate against some NBA PF's there, but in any case, with some adaptations, he will get over it. Overall, a can't miss prospect if he stays healthy.

[Straight forward]

Ignas Brazdeikis - 25-55

More like 40 - undrafted

But he had tons of workouts with NBA teams, hopefully he'll get his chance in NBA as soon as next season.

They don't consider these Canadians "international" because they are all coming out of the NCAA. Same would go for Rui and likely others (Tacko Fall?). This "international" is a technical term referring to those bound by the international draft rules and eligibility guidelines - NCAA players have different entry and withdrawal guidelines/dates. A couple UPlay (Canada collegiate system) kids declared, but withdrew at the international deadline otherwise they'd be on this list.

Shaping up to be a historic draft for Canada. No less than 4 in the first round (possibly all 4 in the lottery), maybe as high as six in the 1st Rnd. With the possibility of a few more in the 2nd.
The following seems consensus on the Mock drafts:

RJ Barrett - Top 5
Brandon Clarke - 6 to 20 (PHX has shown interest at #6, but he likely goes 12-18 range)
Nickeil Alexander Walker - 12-22
Mifiondu Kabnegele - 14-25 (climbing the charts very quickly and could end up drafted higher than Clarke or NAW.
Lugentz Dort - 25 - 40
Ignas Brazdeikis - 25-55

The next four have a solid shot at two-way contracts or UFA agreement if they go undrafted (as I expect). Regardless they likley be in the G next year and hopefully one or two turn into NBA rotation players.
Simi Shittu - mid 2nd to undrafted
Marial Shayok - mid 2nd to undrafted
Oshae Brisett - mid 2nd to undrafted
Lindell Wigginton - late 2nd to undrafted

[Prancūzėlis_ZLD]

i dont even know his projection this coming draft. late 1st to early 2nd?

I think he has (temporarily?) dissapeared from any mock draft after this almost full year without playing. If Gonzaga reaches Final 4 with him performing well, then scouts might remember him. Otherwise he should probably go back for another year as you said.

[C2Hamm]

Then I still believe in Killian Tillie depending on March Madness.

He should go back for another year. A whole year in Gonzaga, hopefully healthy, would do wonders for him for the next draft. with no Brandon and Rui, he should have more touches and more time ti develop. i dont even know his projection this coming draft. late 1st to early 2nd?

[Prancūzėlis_ZLD]

I did not follow the french guys.

Sekou Doumbouya is still the french guy who will probably be drafted with the highest pick. He struggled a little at the beginning of the season with Limoges, be it in Eurocup or Jeep Elite, but he showed some good things and keep on improving. I was not his biggest defender last year, because of his "behaviour", but I have to say i have been "impressed" this year.
You don't see him anymore in top5 in mock drafts because his stats are low, but i think he will be the highest pick from Europe this year, just for his athtletism and the fact he is still very young (born at the end of december)

After that, you have Jaylen Hoard, even if most people will think he his American.

Then I still believe in Killian Tillie depending on March Madness.


N'Doye, Mokoka are announced at end of second round, and they should not hope for better than that, but I think Amine Noua must not be forgotten. Noua is born in 1997, so maybe not anymore the kind of prospect NBA teams are dreaming about, but he is still eligible and is performing well this year with ASVEL.

[Joško Poljak Fan]

The highest ranked is supposedly Luka Šamanić. 6'10 agile PF, some range, some SFish handles that with some improvement could translate, good feel for the game... However even if there are some glimpses of talent there, he needs 1, 2 more years in europe at the very minimum.

Goga Bitadze will be pushed hard (as all the players from his agent are), however even if decent, I do not see him as an actual NBA player as of now. With f.e. Žižić getting as little oppurtunities, I don't think Goga is an upgrade. While with Zubac's size, it was obvious he was destined for some sort of impact in NBA, Goga is kind of jack of all trades, NBA teams like to avoid imo.

I did not follow the french guys.

One player that 2 years ago I strongly believed should make the league and leave some impact is Tadas Sekerskis (6'8 SF).

Overall, imo below average draft candidates for euro standards. With most seasons I always had some sort of underdogs which I believed should make a way better impact in the league, than their draft position suggested - as Kurucs is doing now f.e. I can't remember anyone like that this year.
