The Lakers better be sure that Robinson is there at 39.

We pick a center that's not Mitchell, despite having Zubac and Bryant already. This screams pick for other team then draft to me

Wagner is not a center. Not even close

Why does NBA.com list him as one? Or am I seeing ghosts here... Gonna get another coffee

He's not a center. He's a stretch 4. He can drain it from 3 and is a good rebounder, but not a great athlete

this better be a pick for some other team

He went through stretches of games where he looked like a lottery pick, and then others where he's almost invisible. Was fantastic when it mattered most in big ten tournament and ncaa tournament this year. Was the heart of the team in driving UM to the National Title game.

On the offensive end, has huge upside and could be a steal at 25, but his defence in space is pretty weak. Had trouble keeping up with athletic players. Also not a great rebounder for a guy his size.

Seems like a replacement of sorts for Lopez

Isaac Bonga?

What type of alternate reality am I living in?

This reminds me of my strip club days, when I would stay up.late only to be disappointed

4 more picks.

Let's see who they get. Could end up being the pick that I like the best.

Does Diop go here?

Great value at 47 if that happens

Yeah. I'm not feeling a player with 10 syllables in his name

 

[Post Ironic]

Isaac Bonga and Mo Wagner.

Someone in the Lakers organization really has a thing for Germans....

So, in this world of "look at me, look at me, Look at how much attention I am directing towards myself with all of this fake outrage".


And yes, I am talking about Donovan Mitchell here.


Why is it that no one, and I mean NO ONE, made a big deal about Blake Griffin winning ROTY after missing his first season?

But Mitchell thinks it's ok to pull up to the show in a van that says "Rookie?" on the side of it.

Simmons ))))))0 Not Micthel not Tatum .... this league joke

 

[KB824]

Anyone who questions whether Simmons deserved the award simply has to look at the stretch of games when he took over after Embiid went out. That team made it to the 3rd seed because of Ben.

Are you saying that Simmons did not deserve it?

He not Rookie

 

[KB824]

He not Rookie

Yes he is. According to the NBA Rules, he is a rookie. If you do not play a single minute in your rookie season due to injury, you are a rookie. Which is why I brought up Blake Griffin. Same situation. No one said anything back then, but all of a sudden it's wrong now. The rules haven't changed.

Joel Embiid was considered a rookie last year, even though he missed 2 seasons due to injury after he got drafted.

wasnt Simmons perfectly healthy for like half a season last year but they still didnt play him? thats what i heard atleast

i think these dudes are too obsessed with awards, cant believe ROTY is worth such a commotion

His broken foot didn't heal. The 76ers abandoned any hope of playing him after that. He was supposed to be out for 3 months, but they did tests in February, and shut him down.

The only one obsessed with it was Mitchell and Adidas

 

[Enron]

That's an over reaction to what has been a pretty well played joke all season from Mitchell. Truth is not a lot separate Simmons and Mitchell, so either could have win it.

I thought Mitchell had the better year and did more for his team, but you can't really fault someone for having support.

Anyway, should be fun to see these two guys grow over the next couple of years.
