God I’m so happy for Vince Williams Jr.!! That kid deserved to be drafted so so much and Memphis just got a hell of a 3&D player with a mentality that will fit in there on day 1! Always great to have as many VCU players in the league as possible! Here’s hoping Justin Tilman gets picked up by someone too after the year he had in the g league!
Apparently Michigan behind a prospects name really helps your draft status. Houston definitely should have been a 2nd rounder (though I do understand the flyer on him, before he actually played poorly most of the year he was a snap lottery pick) but Diabate was drafted? I don’t get it. Is it the Franz Wagner and Jordan Poole effect?
tbf it has been widely reported in the Philippines that Kai Sotto does not appear in virtually all reputable mock drafts. There was just one exception and I think that was mainly due to to the appeal of having basketball-crazy Filipino fans supporting the team.
Once again Filipinos are made as a joke because of people swallowing up the misinformation around his draft workout process. Can we just shut the fuck up next time and learn to fact check info?
Bro the fucking nerve of Kyrie lmao, man got millions for sitting half the year and played like ass when KD was double and triple teamed and he was wide open, and hes the one who wants out
Biggest takeaways of the draft to me is that MJ is on some exotic drugs, Peyton Watson has dirt on somebody in Denver, and Liddell+Hardy committed hate crimes or something that caused their slide.
I can kind of see it with Harvy because you don't want to invest playing time in an inefficient high volume chucker just to see if he develops. I thought Liddle would have gone higher to a team who wanted more certainty and depth.
Miami and another team (I think Chicago) were penalized for Tampering during Free Agency of last season by losing their second round picks of this draft.
Bro I am Full Filipino and I fully expected Kai to go late in the draft or undrafted, these damn misinformation content creators kept posting videos claiming kai sotto was a lock to get drafted and got others to fall for it
Not really, I don't get the hype on Kai. He's good but did not show any NBA readiness with his stint in the Aussie league. I think he jumped too early, should have played a minimum of 2 more seasons in Aussie league.
Taking away 2 picks for "tampering" punishes 2 young men who have been grinding to get to this point their whole lives and denies them the opportunity to get drafted. Not like the other 28 teams weren't tampering too.
Among perk, pacing, the commercials happening during picks and retroactively talking about the picks, this has to be the worst coverage of the draft I’ve seen in a while
The Warriors don't have interesting luxury tax questions ESPN, Lacob is going to pay half a billion in payroll and luxury tax per year for the rest of Curry's career because he can, and y'all are just going to have to deal with it. Why would a guy who already pays through the nose and makes way more money than he spends break up a team that just won a title? They're going to give all the guys from this team contracts and extensions if they're eligible. What's the worst that can happen, the Warriors stay a fun playoff team for the rest of Curry's prime?
2nd round is 3 minutes between each pick, and I verified that by going back a half hour and it was 10 picks ago. So exactly how does ESPN make it seem longer? More after this commercial break.
It’s literally 1 pick, ad,m break, oh yeah here’s the pick that happened, here’s the Behind the Scenes we shown 8 times, but a 9th time doesn’t hurt, oh what’s that a new pick coming, sorry ad break, we’ll talk about the Champions after we return

How we doing with non Americans this year? Seems a little slim.
Aussie at #8
Canadians at #6 and #7.
Next year France has the #1 pick
Man, Kendall Brown slipped to mid 2nd round.. was a high lottery projection before the college season.
man, Magic, Rockets, OKC, and Pistons have a young core full of potential
What about Bo Cruz?
Where's he from??
3 italians picked, i'm super happy
So Scottie pippen junior…?
More like if Scottie Pippen and a wolf had a baby
2 way to the lakers
God I’m so happy for Vince Williams Jr.!! That kid deserved to be drafted so so much and Memphis just got a hell of a 3&D player with a mentality that will fit in there on day 1!

Why do the pick threads not have the picking team in the title? That seems like very important information to me...
[удалено]
SOCHAN IS A GOD, spurs in 6
Luke Travers and Hugo Besson from the NBL. Nice!
Most Upvoted Draft Pick Individual Threads (as of this comment)
Raptors fleeced again! He was projected 20 to 25 by the raps. And he is exactly what they need.
Trust in Masai...
[удалено]
You clearly never saw Wembanyama, who will be #1 next year, already dominate him
Y’all we are not gonna nickname Chet CH. sounds terrible and looks like an abbreviation for Charlotte
chet is def not gonna live up to the hype the first couple of years if at all.
Have you seen zion lately, bet search it out. Hes jacked now.
Zion much more physically dominant than chet
Probably a dumb question.
not really
Not really. It means that the list becomes shorter and there are a lot of skilled undrafted players that's going to be sign in a two-way contract.
Maybe
sadly yes

Projected no. 1 pick Kai "Filiphenom" Sotto went undrafted.
Wasn’t 49th the highest projection for him? Or am I getting whooshed?
tbf it has been widely reported in the Philippines that Kai Sotto does not appear in virtually all reputable mock drafts. There was just one exception and I think that was mainly due to to the appeal of having basketball-crazy Filipino fans supporting the team.
Pour one out for the Pinoys 😔
I don’t like kyrie, but he didn’t play like ass. He’s amazing and that’s why he can act this way, he’s still one of the best players in the league
What's Kyrie got to do with the draft?
the problem is he doesn't always play
Whenever Orlando picks #1 they always end up great for some reason
And join the lakers?
Once again Filipinos are made as a joke because of people swallowing up the misinformation around his draft workout process. Can we just shut the fuck up next time and learn to fact check info?
Those youtubers know where the views at. Easy 5 digit views from the PH.
We elected a former dictator's son as our next president. Oh, their family has 203 Billion in estate tax debt.
Filipinos are treating Facebook like it's Wikipedia so it's good that reality bites them hard.
He’s just not good enough, that was the reason…
They said tonight Paolo was the 4th leading freshmen scorer at Duke. Anyone know the 3 ahead of him? Been trying to look it up and can’t find it
RJ, Zion and Bagley III. He outscored Jabari Parker by 1 point
Jabari Parker is one of them
Kai Sotto is never going to be drafted. Why? if your country's top prospect was dunked on by Jalen Green do you think he has a chance?
Its literally one dunk, I could list a lot of reasons why kai didnt get drafted before getting to one fucking dunk
[удалено]
EU? You mean like Oceania?
Neither of those countries are EU...
Dieng is French
Ivey is 100% the next guy that people look back on Sacramento as missing out on.
To be fair, if the Kings had picked him, they probably would've fucked him up
I dunno, if a guy doesn’t want to be on a team, don’t pick him. Makes sense for a number of reasons.
i remember reading some rumours that he really did not want to go to the Kings and did not send his medical info to them or smth
Kyrie really is the reverse Harrison Barnes if you think about it really
Wow it’s almost poetic. I hope HB continues to toil in bottom dwelling teams for that stinker of a performance
No marquee guys got traded… blue balled so hard lol
At least sacramento picked a big man this time and not another guard lol
coughing bagley coughing
While I agree, wasn’t that the same logic that led them to picking Bagley over Doncic 4 years ago?
I thought Bo Cruz was Kai Sotto autobiography?
Bro the fucking nerve of Kyrie lmao, man got millions for sitting half the year and played like ass when KD was double and triple teamed and he was wide open, and hes the one who wants out
This is a draft thread nephew
Just so happy that Sotto is not going to be drafted. So overrated by the hometown fans.
Dude have the height but the scouts never forget the time that Jalen Green dunked on him.
Shams and Woj kind of ruined draft night, basically spoilers.
i don’t watch anymore. actually just look at reddit lol
Pain.
The tears of Filipino hoops false prophets, Smart/MVP PR machine people, and Peenoise water the earth tonight.
So much unsigned activity right now.
men are so stupid
Kai Sotto 1st round pick in the PBA :(
Hope not. League is sht. He's better off in Japan league like Ramos.
lmao.
>! Best Undrafted prospects, part two:
This is copy and paste from draft express Twitter
Of those 58, 3-5 make it big, 2-6 role players, the rest out of the league or not “stashed”
Just check out history on basketball reference
Biggest takeaways of the draft to me is that MJ is on some exotic drugs, Peyton Watson has dirt on somebody in Denver, and Liddell+Hardy committed hate crimes or something that caused their slide.
I can kind of see it with Harvy because you don't want to invest playing time in an inefficient high volume chucker just to see if he develops. I thought Liddle would have gone higher to a team who wanted more certainty and depth.
Pip Jr to the Lakers summer league team.
The Philippines in shambles
lmao.
Why was there only 58 picks?
Miami and another team (I think Chicago) were penalized for Tampering during Free Agency of last season by losing their second round picks of this draft.
Chicago and some other violated some rule so they lose their pick.
2 picks were forfeited
Bulls/Heat tampering punishment (Lonzo/Lowry), forfeited their second round picks.
Bulls and Heat forfeit their picks as a punishment for tampering
Tampering, bucks and heat lost a pick
Tampering punishments
Malika flex!
Dang, no Juzang, Kofi, or Manek even after the tournaments showings. Also feel like McGutsy should have been taken.
Some guys get to walk the stage, some guys get a text scroll during commercial
Glad he got to hear his name called after coming here and waiting all night.
Well, I hope to see some of these undrafted kids in the summer league. ESPN must be dying to go to commercial right now, goodnight y'all!
As a Filipino American, I fully expected Sotto to go undrafted. Some of my brethren gotta settle tf down lmao
I'm full Filipino and I've just been shit posting KAi 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 #1 PICK NBL MVP the last few weeks tbh.
Bro I am Full Filipino and I fully expected Kai to go late in the draft or undrafted, these damn misinformation content creators kept posting videos claiming kai sotto was a lock to get drafted and got others to fall for it
Copium mode.
[удалено]
Not really, I don't get the hype on Kai. He's good but did not show any NBA readiness with his stint in the Aussie league. I think he jumped too early, should have played a minimum of 2 more seasons in Aussie league.
Still nope.
Harold Yu was from china and he went undrafted too though
emotional damage peenoise gahahahahgaghahaggagagagahahahahah
Rip King Kai
So Kai Sotto wasn't drafted
Nope, he'll return to the PBA or to the G-league
Nope. But he can still get signed to the summer league
Lmao aside from being a nursing home for washed superstars, the Lakers are also becoming a daycare center for sons of NBA legends.
Jay talking like all these late second round picks are great players. I guess he's just being nice since it's their day.
Well they are part of the 60 best players of their class. They could still dominate in other leagues
Where does Gui Santos goes?
Golden State Warriors as 56th
Man perk about to fall asleep on set lmao
Damn, Miami and Chicago screwed two kids over
Bruh they're really jerking off this Jaden Ivey story that's not even a story
Can u post trades in the draft thread. Like
Taking away 2 picks for "tampering" punishes 2 young men who have been grinding to get to this point their whole lives and denies them the opportunity to get drafted. Not like the other 28 teams weren't tampering too.
I remember reading about this guy during March Madness.
Bad Boy Bulls for tampering!
Adam sandler’s movie Hustle has done more for the draft than ESPN’s entire coverage
This mfer Bobby says nothing but "draft and stash", how much does this dude make? Anyone can take his spot lol
No Sotto, Cockburn and excessive ads. What a shit show. Fuck disney.
Are none of these Overtime Elite guys gonna get drafted? This can't be good for them. Kids are gonna pick Ignite over them
Some Filipinos are accusing the Warriors being racist for not drafting Kai Sotto
lmao. Those dudes need to calm down. Kai Sotto isn't that skilled to begin with. He has the height but he still needs to improve
Lmao for real? Im filipino and i knew dude was a long shot to get drafted smh
whatever lol
I mean did they have an obligation to pick him?
Jabari Walker over Julian Champagnie?!
This draft is going to end and we won't know because they'll play 15 straight minutes of commercials and we'll just be waiting for nothing
Fucking LAWL
So bad there’s not even footage for these people.
Does ESPN just not care about the draft?
Poor Gabe Brown 💔
He went to my high school! I’m sure someone will take a undrafted flyer on him
You a Michigan State fan or like Gabe Brown’s game?
So, fuck the draft now ESPN huh? Bring out all the ads instead
I’ve been sitting here being advertised to in the most obnoxious way for 45 minutes plus.. why am I still watching?
Too many ads. Boring.
Kai Sotto time!!
Among perk, pacing, the commercials happening during picks and retroactively talking about the picks, this has to be the worst coverage of the draft I’ve seen in a while
Also Woj tweaking, either he hit a shot or withdrawal kicking in
Hey guys my stream is a little behind did Julian Newman get picked yet?
Filipino fans will be sad that Kai Sotto may not be drafted.
Atleast he is going home to PBA. lmao
Heat picking up sotto as an undrafted player would be sweet
With Tim Cone as assistant coach in the summer league too. Spo also has his Filipino roots
Can anyone dm me a link? Not seeing it in typical places nvm just gonna read
Dude with all these ads, it's not worth it
Let's go Gui!
WTF ESPN
They went to commercial LITERAL seconds before the pick was announced. 🤦🏼♂️
Kind of like how ESPN stashes the commercials at the end of the draft
I like this pick ad, great potential
Wow 0 picks that segment
ESPN really missing pick announcements.
I just want it to end.
YANNICK 🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩
Imagine actually announcing picks while we're not on commercial.
This.
These nets cheerleaders are fighting demons rn
Time to cut to commercial, the pick is in.
Yannick has to be at least 30
Holy shit if the Warriors select Kai Sotto
He's going undrafted.
It would be funny. They already have a Filipino heritage night too
Corner every Asian market
Grab Kofi you cowards

Gotta spend money to make money

Quick someone enlighten me about J.D. Davidson
He was the star for Alabama who was surprisingly good this year
Steph went to Davidson so there's that
Celtics fans are going to get wearing those fro wigs by the end of next season, lol.
The Celtic identifying their biggest need- big hair.
Y’all know when you watch like a 3 minute ad on youtube just to see a 30 second long video? That’s what the last 30 minutes have felt like!
Jay BIlas has to be pissed.
