Detroit and Houston won the night while the Oklahma City Thunder fell outside of the top five picks.
This can’t really be a surprise since 6th or 7th is where the odds said the Thunder would most likely up in the drafting order.
Shouldn’t have won that game at Boston or the late season game against I think it was the Clippers. Should have run the table at 0-25 and been totally shameless. But que sera.
Damian Lillard was the 6th pick in his draft class so I would say to Sam Presti and staff…earn your paychecks.
Devin Booker was the 13th player taken in his class. Giannis was the 15th player taken in his class. Kawhi was the 16th player taken in his class. Kevin Huerta was the 18th player in his draft class. All four of these dudes are still playing this season.
Sam Presti please show me the genius beyond Portland taking Greg Oden.
That’s all I have so far this morning.
I feel for Cade though. Detroit…holy shit. Maybe Cade can spur a rebirth of sorts in the city. Good luck, buddy.
The question is still the same for the Thunder at 6 as it was at 1…who will be available who fits the best with Shai?
If you would have taken Jalen Suggs at 3 then why wouldn’t you take Davion Mitchell at 6?
