Utah had a super solid draft. Love the potential for both Williams and Collier.

[@zachras9643]

Didn’t even mention Isaiah Collier at 29th pick!

[@DM-bn6bf]

Washington Wizards killed this draft. The new management isn't F@#$ing around. Good for them

[@boltblazer1670]

Letting Deni go is questionable.

[@mikejones9906]

I’m starting to understand why picks matter so much in trades, when you can steal top 5 picks at the end of the lottery.

[@mikejones9906]

The T-Wolves won the draft, I don't care what anyone says, if Shannon Jr didn't have legal problems, he would've been a sure fire lottery pick. Pair that up with Rob and Klintman, and you have great pieces for little money.

[@mikejones9906]

Why didn’t you guys go Live during the draft? I can’t listen to these other draft analysts.

[@grantrobinson8179]

Everyone wants to call the Dillingham deal a fleece one way or another, but I think it’s a nice deal for both teams. The T-Wolves window is right now and with an abysmal cap situation, he gives them a nice, cheap bench option. For the Spurs, they get a couple of really nice assets. The lack of picks and cap crunch won't be kind to them going forward. They are a prime candidate to be a lottery team in 2030 and 2031. It also opens up cap space for the Spurs to add a PG in free agency.

[@mikejones9906]

The Spurs GM needs to be fired, they needed shooters and a point guard and got neither.

[@thekaying]

Feels so weird that both Detroit and Charlotte took a reach instead of getting pick 9 and an asset only for Memphis to also reach because Clingan was gone by then. Was there really no deal to be done there?

[@petekayyceclosedduncan2077]

I heard that offers were 🗑.. Pistons VP at Holland press conference even admitted it...

[@mikejones9906]

Horrible

[@slickrick8046]

I don’t think that was a reach for Memphis. But I do think 6 of the teams in the top 7 will regret making those picks.

[@chrishutchens5167]

He fell because of age that was strictly the situation because he was 2223 years old, which is ridiculous 22 and 23 are still kids. It’s kind of ridiculous but all right, but if that’s the reason, he felt the age it wasn’t because of his ability on the on the core because he’s showing to be a good player on the cord, the lottery teams didn’t dress them because of age

[@mikejones9906]

Dalton Kinect is what an NBA player would look like if you put him on a college team.

[@slickrick8046]

Washington had a great draft for a rebuilding team. Minnesota had a great draft for a contending team. Lakers got a steal.

[@KG10toTH5]

3:47 Knecht fell because his type can't jump

[@edzeralexis2367]

dont question presti just watch the show :D

[@robitaillecopeland1996]

Presti loves the smell of his own farts. OKC had an awful draft AJ Johnson is going to make you clueless draft dudes look foolish

[@DutchNo9]

How is it an awful draft lol they got a top 5 pick at 12. They have cap space and are buying Hartenstien and a wing they are gucci

[@mikejones9906]

lol arguably the steal of the draft. Presti knows what he’s doing.

[@slickrick8046]

@@mikejones9906 A guy with a knee injury who can’t shoot is not the steal of the draft.

[@mikejones9906]

@@slickrick8046 How do you feel about OG to the knicks?

[@MehdiZenati-uj6in]

Pas de Tyler Smith au premier tour les gars vous allez vous en remettre 😉

[@MarkRichards-kf6zz]

Shout out from H-Town watched from beginning don't hate on Ron Holland being top 5 instead of Dalton Knect Ha Ha Ha

[@slickrick8046]

Yea, Detroit may regret that.

[@rayh3391]

broney should go undrafted and the lakers can sign him as a FA. he doesn't have the resume to be drafted.

[@macmoll]

(Sarcastic voice) But… but… but… he wants to hear his name called in the draft. That’s all he wants. And everybody should always get what they want right? Especially when you’re the son of the chosen one.

[@Fgh-ng3qu]

Who else would you get that will have impact right now?

[@fortniteluvr4]

aj johnson was drafted in the first round and he averaged like 3 ppg

[@Fgh-ng3qu]

@@fortniteluvr4 exactly and got drafted over guys who outperformed him in both highschool and college

[@sylvesterwilliams1931]

The kid should be going into his second year of college.

[@Memoto-tl4bn]

James you never like Ron....reeeeeeally

[@spliceoverwrite]

You guys didn’t factor the Pistons took shooting coach Fred Vinson from the Pelicans. If he helped Lonzo and Herb get jumpers, he can help Holland.

[@mikejones9906]

The Atlanta Hawks: Why do you take a permiter player with the first pick, when your team is already dominated by two guards. Unless of course you’re planning on trading Young or Murray The Houston Rockets: Why are you drafting another guard when you just paid Van Fleet 100+ million and have a log jam at the position with Green and Whitmore?? The Spurs: Why do you take Stephon Castle when you need perimeter shooting? The Grizzlies: Why do you take Zach Edey when you run a fast paced offense and have a ball dominant point guard?? The Detroit Pistons: Why do you take Ron Holland when you need a stretch 5 or stretch 4 to go along with Jalen Duren in the front court? How does Filipowski fall out of the first round? How does Kinect fall out of the lottery? How does Buzelis fall out of the top 5? Sacramento Kings: You just signed Malik Monk, why draft a guard??

[@cheeto8960]

No congratulations for the spurs drafting castle....
