NBA 2020-2021 Season

[Pooker]

If anybody drafts Edwards now in the first round, they get what they deserve when he doesn't pan out. Great way to start off his career.

I think Lamelo will be a good player. Not all star level, but close to it. It's very telling how bad this draft class is that he's going number one.

[VerbalPuke]

That's a big yikes there with Edwards. I admire the honesty I guess.

Curious what the Pistons do even though I have zero knowledge of college ball.

[LL!]

Danny Green finds himself bouncing around this week. First to OKC and now to the 76ers from OKC. 

[Lineker]

OK, so - I am on a night shift and there isn't much to do. And the NBA draft is on. Maybe this is the year I attempt to get into basketball? How do you all fancy talking me through tonight's proceedings and let's go from there?

Talk to me like an idiot.

[Chris2K]

I would, but I've got to sleep after the T-Wolves pick!

And that pick is Anthony Edwards. I would have preferred Wiseman but at least it's not LaMelo.

Let me know any questions you have and I'll try my best to answer.

Teams are selecting players from out of college or overseas. The draft is two rounds, 30 picks each round. Teams are allowed to trade picks or any players any contract currently. 

I'm not watching it live, just following on my phone. But ill still try to help best I can.

I get the concept of a draft, from the NFL  

 

I know nothing about any of these guys being picked so I am purely going to judge them based on the size of their draft night parties - because holding a massive event during a pandemic is not a great sign of judgment you want from your first-round pick...

Better to judge them by their outfits than the size of their party. Killian Hayes played in Europe though. So, it's a shame you know nothing about someone in your own continent. Wow.

Didn't you hear? The UK left Europe. They're a free agent now.

And also, Google says France.

 

So.... yeah.

We all know you show loyalty to all countries.

Deni Avdija falling to the Wizards is a pleasant surprise. And following the laws of "pick made right after the Knicks" is definitely a future All-Star!

[Lineker]

Oh an Israeli, that's cool!

As a fan of the Wizards I would advise against using this as reason to support my team. All I know is pain.

[Lineker]

Mate, I support Tottenham, and the Houston Texans. I'm open to all offers, but I'd quite like to not feel permanent misery in a sport, for a change...

[Your Mom]

Is our guy any good? I honestly thought we were getting Ball and was ready to be unhappy

[Lineker]

Phoenix just drafted a guy off of the Dallas Cowboys, for some reason.

I wouldn't blame him.
