Draft Lottery (Sacramento and Phoenix in top3)

[LineSkiCat14]

Sactown won a top 3 spot, while Phoenix stayed in the top3 as well. Help coming to some of our NBA Cats!

Fox representing Sacramento and being super swaggy. Mentioned his smile is his good luck charm while like 6 other grownups looked like they had no idea where they were. He'll have a career in the booth if he wants one..

Pretty sure Jamal Murray was there representing for Denver. But they didn't move up.

Eventually Sacramento and Phoenix have to be good right?

3rd pick goes to Atlanta.. Sacramento got 2nd and Phoenix got 1st.. Awesome!

 

[Smashcat]

Good for the Suns and Sacramento.

Ayton will be a nice piece for them to build with added to Knight, Ulis, Booker, and Jackson

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Ayton to Phoenix.. That's their need. If they take that euro player.. Idc how good he is. Don't touch him.

 

[Fitch44]

Ayton 1 to hometown Phoenix?

 

[Smashcat]

Bilas smart to say Ayton is his #1 pick.

 

[UKcats1988]

 

[UKcats1988]

Doncic may go #1. Their new coach won eurobasket with him last summer and will supposedly push for him hard.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Yeah right? This really lines up perfectly for Ayton to go #1.. Played for Arizona, fills their biggest need. Phoenix can attempt to keep Payton now that they have their center.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Also, Josh Jackson is 35.

 

[Cats192]

How do you not take the kid from Arizona when you're the Arizona team. Huge mistake if they don't IMO

Jami Gertz is the Hawks' owner? She still looks really good.

 

[USSLair]

Good to see Fox again. One of my favs.

Jami Gertz is the Hawks' owner? She still looks really good.

She must come from Money.. Her acting career doesn't warrant a D-league team let alone an NBA franchise.

She’s married to Tony Ressler, a billionaire who is also minority owner of the Brewers.

Married to owner.

Wait a minute we are forgetting bagley before last yr he was the greatest player in all of high school and guaranteed number 1. I would love to see him slip to Cleveland. But I think they take Wendell carter who plays d and can score basically what they pay Tristan Thompson to do for 20 mil and he blows

 

[jameslee32]

Ayton seems like a no-brainer but Phoenix didn't become Phoenix by doing the smart thing.

Bagley won't go one he plays zero defense and it's all about him much like okafor. How did that work out?

 

[WildMoon]

Love to see Booker with Ayton or another elite player.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Doncic may be good and those top teams have some ties to euro basketball.. But with everything you've seen of euro players being plucked early.. Why would you take the risk? Ayton and Bagley will at the very least be a teams 3rd or 4th productive player.

Frank Ntiliknia is the newest to the list. And while it's still very early for hi.. Knicks fans desperately want a re-do.

 

[UKcats1988]

 

[Big Cat fan]

The Kings will be a nice fit for Bagley. But if I'm the Suns I am thinking really hard on getting Bagley. Somebody may have to talk me out of it because last year he was the best player.

Yeah. I would just go Ayton. They need big MOFO center to go along with Booker.

They also have Josh Jackson right? Not sure his work ethic is good .

Get decent PG and PF, and they are legit team.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

When I think of doncic I have flashbacks of darko. Remember he was so damn good the pistons take him and could of had bosh Carmelo or even wade. The euro players always scare me.

 

[crawfords corner]

This young man is different than Darko. No part of Milicic's game resembles that of Doncic. He's been bred for the NBA. He's going to be a multiple time All-Star and probably the best player in the class long-term. I would still take Ayton first, though. Ayton is a better two-way player than both Bagley and Doncic at the start of their respective careers in the NBA.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

No one is going to get fired for passing on a euro player with the first pick. Not even sure anyone would be mad at you..

Duke played better D when he was out several games.

Ayton tweet.

 

[HenryMuto]

Screw you Nets couldn't lose 1 more game..........

 

[the stat man]

Bagley is just like that lazy fat ass Oakafor was he couldn’t spell defense if you gave him the first four letters !! But he was a Dukie and a lock to be the first pick in the draft right Jay !!

 

[GParmesan]

I saw Bagley slap the floor one time, so he definitely plays defense.
