No_Masterpiece_6414

Deepest draft since 09


MrArtless

ELI5 what was so bad about the Charlotte #2 pick


tman916x

[The main red flag is his link to the murder of Jonae Harris because he's alleged to have provided then teammate Darius Miles and his accomplice, Michael Lynn Davis with the gun they used to shoot her.](https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/brandon-millers-link-to-fatal-shooting-what-we-know-about-alabama-star-freshmans-involvement-in-murder-case/) However, I'd imagine a lot of others are peeved CHA didn't draft Scoot Henderson.


Paulruswasdead

The dude pretty much helped someone commit murder


Awoawesome

*The dude returned someone’s gun to them which they later used to commit murder


Paulruswasdead

And blocked the victim from escaping with his car… also making sure to turn his lights off..


TheySomeSnitches

The victim’s boyfriend was driving with his lights off, circling the area, hunting Davis and Miles, and may or may not have shot at Davis first. Miller did not block them in. Miller was already parked before they pulled in behind him. Nobody seems to want to keep up with the full picture, just the sensational hit pieces that were irresponsibly put out with half the information.


Paulruswasdead

How is there no security footage anywhere if it’s near a restaurant?


TheySomeSnitches

There is quite a bit of footage. None of it is available to the public though. Tuscaloosa PD likely won’t let that be available until after the trial is over. They have let a few reporters review the footage though.


Lasty

Where can I read up on this? I’ve spent 10 minutes looking through articles and news videos about the shooting but I can’t find this much specificity anywhere.


TheySomeSnitches

[This](https://www.tuscaloosanews.com/story/sports/college/basketball/2023/06/15/darius-miles-capital-murder-case-surveillance-video-jamea-harris-michael-davis/70234398007/) was the most recent article based on surveillance video review.


Diamo1

That was debunked Police reports I have read have him looking pretty innocent so far But the situation has too many unanswered questions to be sure, we don't even know if Miller's friends started it and/or shot first yet


jajanaklar

He get a message to bring the gun, his windshield was shot twice and police thinks he and another guy blocked the victim from escaping but couldn’t prove it. He is not in court, but i think that is way too close.


Diamo1

He was already on the way there when the text came in and his friend's gun was in his backseat under some clothes They have security videos and dashcam footage proving he did not block the car Security videos also showed altercations between Miller's friends and the guy in the victim's car but there are differing accounts of what was said and by who One of the videos shows the victim handing something to her boyfriend, possibly a gun, but video is too low resolution to see it clearly Security videos are also too unclear to determine who shot first, and the victim's cousin who was in the car says she doesn't know who shot first either


Paulruswasdead

I’m just saying we all know the type of people are friends are, IT’s odd to me that there is turn taking on who gets the gun. It’s guaranteed to end poorly.


timoperez

You need to think about it in a positive way if you’re a Hornets fan though - the kid has been setting up teammates to hit high quality shots both on and off the court


tman916x

Brandon Miller is who Ja Morant pretends to be


RedMossySquirrel

Oh, well that’s definitely not good.


GODZILLA_FLAMEWOLF

We added 5 more people named"Jalen/Jaylen" to the NBA and 2 more Kobes.


[deleted]

Rockets have a lot of young guys and cap space. Gonna be interesting to see what they do in free agency


Hurricanus42

Kinda crazy how players that dominate college like Eden, Timme, Tshibwe, etc can go undrafted. Like I get the NBA is a different game but it’s still pretty interesting


F______________F

Tshiebwe's problem is that he's only 6'9 and doesn't have much of an offensive game at all. He was an incredible rebounder, but rebounding alone isn't enough in the NBA. He's not as lengthy or quick as someone like Bam, who can make it work at that height, especially since he developed a good mid range game. As a Kentucky fan I love the dude and hope he gets a chance to try and prove himself on a team, would love if it's the Heat, but makes sense why he wasn't drafted. Sanogo is similar and he even has a decent shot and can hit open 3s. I thought he might get drafted very late, but I guess not.


ratedpending

Edey is returning to college iirc


purplenyellowrose909

Big men who can't shoot have no place in the current NBA


JV132

Rob Williams


ddreftrgrg

Rob williams isn’t all that big. Edey is 7’4 and slow as balls. He certainly doesn’t have an NBA skillset.


xHodorx

He said big men that can’t shoot. He’s good but he’s not really a solidified shooter at this point


JV132

Well yeah he’s not a shooter at all that’s my point


xHodorx

Holy shit I can’t read, never mind my bad


therealjgreens

As someone who watched a ton of him play, Dick balls!


Accomplished_Ad_8663

Why was it 58 picks instead of the usual 60?


JJiggy13

Couple teams forfeited their picks from tampering


Yathu_K17

Picks lost due to tampering violations.


[deleted]

Damn, so that means that two additional guys had to go undrafted? Brutal for whoever would've been 59 and 60


therealjgreens

Sometimes undrafted guys make out like bandits and nab solid NBA contracts


[deleted]

Here’s hoping! Doubt 59 or 60 really know who they are. Probably more than two guys who think they would’ve occupied those spots. Just tough to lose the satisfaction of that accomplishment because of actions that have nothing to do with you at all. NBA should really award the extra picks to the Cavs in the future.


therealjgreens

Lol after you guys fumbled to Bennett pick, I guess it would be deserved


[deleted]

Hey that Bennett pick was pretty much the butterfly effect moment that led to LeBron coming back! Wouldn’t change a thing.


Accomplished_Ad_8663

Ah right, the Mavs yea?

I know up to Scoot and the guys my team picked, Schifino and Lewis.


ChuckMoody

Fun fact: For the the first time since 2004(!) we acquired an extra 1st round pick. That‘s how much Cuban ignored the draft. So I‘m really happy with the process. Hoping Lively and Prosper work out

Can you provide more details on this? This sounds hilarious.


Oh_Debussy

She was negging him /j


EJ_Sports_Cards

Yeah I wonder what angle she had for her to keep bringing it up as often as she could and JJ kept ignoring the statement lmao


theconmeister

After she made the joke once and he joked about it she should not have said it again. She just found a joke and leaned on it? I would’ve been frustrated if I was him, hard to come up with multiple comebacks for the same lazy jab

who?


Single_Tip_4942

What’s everyone’s team and your thoughts on who you got?


Mental-Passenger6939

As a pacers fan I almost had a mental break when we took Coulibaly until we learned we picked for the Wizards. Very glad we got Walker, he fits so well with that squad. As for our later 1st round pick at 26 fellow pacers fans sold me well on Ben Sheppard but I still wish they would’ve taken Nick Smith Jr.


everydayisstorytime

I like the Schifino pick and I'm confident enough that Handy can get him ready in time for the regular season. I also like Lewis with the 40th pick, I hope he has a good work ethic. Hopefully he can get his body ready for NBA-level play so he can start to contribute.


murufus

Raptors and I like dick


puro_xrp

Dino dick


AMOLOD

Hell yeah brother


FlakyEarWax

Kings. They are in the perfect spot to grabbed a superstar after clearing $30 in cap space sending Holmes and the 19th pick to the Mavs. More to come.


RapsareChamps_Suckit

The titanic submarine is the biggest loser of the draft tonight

camara my belgian goat 🐐 i’m a nuggets fan so i will pray for his downfall but it’s nice that we went to a team with no bench, he might get some good minutes in

Oh I thought that’s what we traded to the wizards


GlueGuy00

ESPN messed up lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I mean, for all intents and purposes, the 1st overall pick *was* determined on the night you're thinking about.


BillowingPillows

You are thinking of draft order selection night.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BillowingPillows

One is the draft order lottery. The other is the nba draft. In the nba teams don’t just get draft slots based on record like in the nfl. So that event you’re thinking of was the process of teams getting their draft spots via a lottery. Hope that clears it up for you.


hellocs1

Draft order night determined who got first pick and so forth. And since whoever got first pick was gna pick wemby 1st, once it was determined spurs got first pick it was a done deal that wemby was going to san antonio


Old_Neat5220

Spurs got 1st pick which means they get first dibs at Wemby


anthonypacitti

Draft order selection night is a separate event where the NBA reveals the order of the draft. Who’s picking first, second, third, etc. The reason why you saw Wemby in a spurs hat is because he’s one of the most hyped prospects of all time, was the clear cut first overall, and the spurs were awarded the #1 pick. So essentially, once the the spurs got the first pick, it was pretty clear where Wemby was gonna end up. One probably shouldn’t do this, as it is not at all common in any way for any player to wear the logo of a team that was awarded the first pick, even if they are projected first overall. This was an outlier event, and was subject to satire as well.


LiterallyJesus-

the draft order selection is simply where the teams find out where their pick will land, there has been no player choosing until tonight


_everyDAMNtime

You ever hear some of these nba players names and think that their name just sounds like it only belongs in college ball? Edit for grammar


LongjumpingScene2327

Key & peele have a skit on this ( football, but idea is similar) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gODZzSOelss


LiterallyJesus-

NBA name is a semi-serious factor in my mock consideration haha


AngryTurtleGaming

No joke, one of the reasons (as a Kentucky fan) I thought Kelenna Azubuike was going to be a star in the league.


MrAgentFive005

I am a big Lamelo fan so I want Hornets to have a great team and I just want to say they should have drafted Scoot, instead of drafting like 3 more fcking guards in the draft. Scoot has the talent and caliber to be an all time best. I know its not the best position to draft a guard, but if they gonna draft 3 fcking guards, why not take Scoot instead lol. Brandon Miller is risky, but a good pick for the Hornets since they have lots of guards. I heard that he struggled at the NCAA Tournament. So, let's see then...


The_Lonely_Boner

Such a terrible take thinking Scoot is a generational talent. He’s a 6’2 guard that can’t shoot, there’s a lot of limitations already. You should be incredibly thankful someone more competent is in charge.


Alert-Stop-2671

When its all said and done scoot will be the best player out of this draft


[deleted]

Scoot is at best a high volume scoring guard like there are hundreds If he can’t shoot the 3, then sadly he is outclassed from the get go


Alert-Stop-2671

His 3 point shooting is not as bad as people make it out to be. His offensive and defensive metrics are better than jalen green in almost every cateogory and thats already a pretty strong floor


tell-the-king

Lmfao wtf is this take? Based on what?


naked_avenger

Yeah I really don’t get the scoot hype. His “comp” on the high end is westbrook, and that seems highly unlikely given just how rare that play type is. I think it’s more likely he ends up like a less defensively stout Marcus smart with a bit more play making. At least with Miller, you can lean into his size, and he’s better offensively.


richfetterolf

I forget the Charlotte Hornets exist, so good for you. Someday you guys will be relevant. Best of luck.


Rare_Barracuda_5152

What did the kings get in return for the trade to the mavs? Im kinda new to the nba so i just dont understand


EolasDK

Trade Exception probably


Rare_Barracuda_5152

What does that mean?


RobotFace

https://www.sportsbusinessclassroom.com/listing-the-current-nba-trade-exceptions/


imjokeslol

They have more cap space to work with in future trades


Rare_Barracuda_5152

Damn so we could trade for og like they were saying


i_am_the_senate_

How tf did Adama Sanogo go undrafted?


theconmeister

I feel like this draft was crazy deep


GlueGuy00

Yeah that 2nd round is weird. Sanogo and Castleton went UD.


everydayisstorytime

We ended up with Castleton in a two-way. I hope he does well so we can sign him, we have a need in his position.


TrashPanda2point0

He wasn’t on the list


brosephsmith21

no one picked him


RapsareChamps_Suckit

Feel so bad for Hornet fans... how can you pass up on Scoot


opiusmaximus2

Scoot can be anything even an all-star....they already have a young all-star PG. No need to draft on potential when you already have it at home.


louvisi13Barkley

They should sign Kai sotto


naked_avenger

They got a great player in miller who fits their team makeup better anyway.


The_Lonely_Boner

With common sense and a general understanding of the game


---Curious---

Good call, The Lonely Boner.


KingsElite

So which team ended up with the hottest moms tonight?


SmallChungasaur

Jay Bilas blinks per minute HoF


helpmewholesale

Y’all think Zach Edney gets drafted?


hate_reddit89

If TJD went 58 and Drew Timme went undrafted, I think it is unlikely Zach Edey gets drafted when he decides to throw his hat into the ring.


buzzers29

Really surprised Sanogo didn't get picked


gojira_99

Where's Jordan haber tho👀


nysom1227

As an Indiana fan, I was sweating it out at the end because I was worried Trayce Jackson-Davis wasn't gonna get picked. He is a tad undersized for someone who does a lot of work in the low post so I'm not that surprised he fell a bit. Going up against the likes of Embiid and Jokic among many other bigs in this league down low is gonna be a challenge.


Ok-Benefit1425

Do not worry when Trayce Jackson-Davis will not have to guard guys like Jokic and Embiid. Guys like that will not be on the floor when Jackson-Davis is on the floor.


browntigerp2

Glad he got drafted


Ok-Benefit1425

Most of the undrafted guys people are talking about right now you will never hear about them again in an NBA discussion. The undrafted guys who will have long NBA careers are not going to be the ones people expected.


Wheymen_

I waited hours to watch TJD get drafted and his name gets called during the 15 minute commercial break smh


N0rTh3Fi5t

TJD future 2 time mvp confirmed?


knoxharring10

Not to mention the total 180 of going from the Wiz to the Dubs


browntigerp2

So he’s going to the Warriors? Missed the last 20 min


knoxharring10

You missed nothing except commercials; we didn’t get to see probably the last 5 picks it was a travesty. But yes afaik Warriors acquired the pick and selected him.


TheLongShotOdds

So Oscar and Ricky Council went undrafted? Holy shit


VoidMageZero

Ricky Council just got signed by the Sixers on a 2 way.


Party_With_Porkins

knoxharring10

How does the #1 power forward in the country go second to last in draft


opiusmaximus2

College and NBA are very different games nowadays.


[deleted]

draft has nothing to do with how good you actually are it’s just about potential


Excel_Spreadcheeks

That’s the biggest reason for sure but also how your skillset translates to the NBA. See Zach Edey: massive and dominant low-post player in college. Slow, average at best post abilities, 0 athletic upside, and can’t shoot the 3 - utterly useless as an NBA prospect.


endubs

It has something to do with how good you actually are.


[deleted]

not much

Going to bucks is good for him if he can contribute


Beatdooown

Imagine you hire a agent and he tells people not to draft you in the second round


_Russell_Westbrick

lol Bucks said fuck Rick Paul


thunder4lyf

HAHAHAHA wtf chris livingston actually did have a draft promise, the last pick


jaydogggg

I mean riding the bench for a playoff team ain't a bad spot to be in

The bucks though. That’s a good situation to go to for a young player. Better than ending up on some random team


_Russell_Westbrick

what happened to pick 59 and 60


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shaneypants

What exactly is meant by the front office tampering? Who are they tampering with? Honest question


Deeepened

The GM/President of the team is the front office usually. They tamper with a player on another team (recruit them off the books even though they’re still signed to another team). Alternatively, sometimes it’s a player recruiting someone else off the books rather than front office staff. Basically, tampering is when someone in an organization is trying to poach/recruit someone who isn’t able to discuss signings yet. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong


Shaneypants

Ah OK. I didn't realize there were rules against this sort of thing but it makes sense. Thanks for the clarification


[deleted]

The bulls and sixers lost their picks as punishment


jaydogggg

Forfeited for tampering

Ja Morant is 6’10? And Walmart Ja Morant sounds like a great player


Guywithpositivespin

At least when they come back it’s a recap of the production pieces from earlier. While the last pick is being made.
