I was hit and miss on the red carpet, but didn't see anything that didn't gag me. None of our guys. So I'm recording it, holler if you see them. I'm pretty excited.

Stephen A Smith. Vomit. Wheres the mute button?

My eyes are still recovering from that bright purple outfit Paolo Banchero has on. He says it's a tribute to his folks.

His mom starred at the U of Washington, where she still holds some career records. Got to see her play a few games for the Huskies when she was known as Rhonda Smith. Wished he'd stayed in town to play a year at U Dub instead of Duke, but eyerybody knew he'd get more national pub playing for Coach K instead of a middling Pac-12 program.

So where does our boys land guys ?- - I saw in a mock draft off ESPN and they had Oach at # 14 to Cleveland- -Notsur on Christan - -I think Oach is like 16th hope he lands better

Wow! Did not expect Banchero to go #1

@Texas-Hawk-10 Surprised me too. It seemed like that just snowballed in the last day or two. Until then it looked like he'd go behind Smith and Holmgren.

Hoping the Nuggets draft CB so I can watch him play.

By the way, that jingle they play before each pick...is it just me, or did they "borrow" the tune from the opening of that old song "See You In September" ? Always thought they sounded the same.

"I'll be alone each and ev'ry night...While you're away don't forget to write..."

I dont think Banchero is the best player. I think Orlando made a mistake, and can wallow in mediocrity a little while longer.

Freaked out and went with the safe high floor pick. Duke.

They borrowed it from the NFL Draft.

Houston is going to be happy Orlando screwed it up. I will eat crow in our bad predictions thread if im wrong. Im not.

@approxinfinity I agree. I think Jabari is the best player in the draft

Sacramento deciding which career they want to destroy

@KirkIsMyHinrich lol so true

Keegan Murray from beating the heck out of KU in the NCAA tournament to playing for Sacramento. Blessed.

Yeah, and I wonder if either of them had to pay any royalties on that.

Idk how Ivey and Cade will fit but that’s why they make the big bucks

Sochan to Spurs surprised me.

@BShark 😭 every dang time

So cav's?

Agbaji will be a Cav

@Crimsonorblue22 said in NBA draft, Jayhawk style:

Yes

Boom Och at 14

Gonna miss that guy and his family!

Och in the lottery!
(dude, lose the freaking gum!)

Would like to have seen Charlotte pick him up so he could play with Oubre, but I guess Cleveland's OK as long as he can get some minutes.

You'd thought Duke or Kentucky would've won the championship?

Thoughts on CB's pic?

Glad Och was picked Lottery just not crazy about the team. - -Now with him as a lottery his money guaranteed right ?

@Crimsonorblue22 said in NBA draft, Jayhawk style:

I'm afrai there just no way Christan a 1 st round pick now. I think looking like 35 or 36th - -hope I'm wrong

Guess what ?

What a great position for CB, with a solid playoff team no less !

Based.

Love the spots for both our guys. I can't believe there were people that thought CB wouldn't test well. He's going to stick around in the NBA. Really fits how the game is played now.

I ain't gonna lie I didn't think there was any way he would be picked THAT HIGH, and if your being honest I don't think ANYONE here thought he would be that high either Al I hear from guys here and others that he was a fringe 1st round 28th or below to 2nd round.

So you tell me and remember GOD'S listening to you and remember you can go to hell just sa fast for lying as you can for stealing - I want you to tell me with a straight face you thought he would go that high

LMAO thank GOD thats not the Yankees - - - looks more like the Royals lmao

@jayballer67 It was clear he was going in the first round if you looked at Vegas betting odds. Was bet all the way down to +100. Also, he probably had a good idea it would happen since a lot of fringe second round guys including Jalen came back.

Wasn't that clear from what I was readaing seen way to much talk o fringe 1st to 2nd round - - - 30th pick at best was what I was seeing. - -I'm glad he is where he is just saying surprised

@jayballer67 Vegas knows :eyes:

Sandbothe legacy: http://mosportshalloffame.com/inductees/sandbothe-family/ ↗

@jayballer67 Yankees should get another title this year for sure. Incredible team.

kind of surprised that Ty TY hasn't been drafted yet. just the way the ards have played out I guess

21 is a little earlier than I was thinking for CB. When I said I hoped the Nuggets drafted him I was thinking at 30. I had him like 25-30 in my mind. I would have also been fine with GS taking him at 28.

Porter is always hurt. Doesn't ksu pt guard monte Morris play for them?

@Crimsonorblue22 Iowa St and ya

Night wasn't over til we listened to Scott drew.

@KirkIsMyHinrich oh duh!

@KirkIsMyHinrich Frans favorite, he loved ISU during that time!

I miss Fran breaking down international players.

“THIS GUY FROM (former Soviet bloc country) HAS GREAT SKILLS. YOU MIGHT SEE HIM IN THE LEAGUE IN 2045!!”

Sorry I brought him up! Please no Drew comments. What about coach Self? Did Drew have 2? Surprised Kendall wasn't picked. Tyty was in the top group and just picked, somebody misjudged. I haven't watched lately.

Remy is gonna make some dudes look like fools in the Summer League. He’s not a NBA guard but he is the kind of hard to defend that makes bad summer league defenses REALLY bad

CB pic

As the 14th pick, Och will potentially earn $2.9M and $3.1M his first two years.

As the 21st pick, Braun could earn $2.1M and $2.2M in his first two years.

Millionaires! That’s awesome for them.

Nuggets are SUPER high on him.

He had a guarantee from them and another team if Denver didn't snag him. So happy for him

Can't explain it but these two getting drafted felt different then past ones. I'll be following their careers closely

Ya wouldn't that be hard to take. - -One day here you are College ball player and the next - -what 21-22 yr old kid and your a Millionaire lol - -mercy couldn't stand it lol

Okay.... everyone take a deep breath...

Now go backwards! Just a few years back!

Both of these guys were judged to not even become decent college players. Basically overlooked by college recruiters.

So the answer is YES... this draft is very special for us as well as the fellas!

Congratulations to both players and I'm glad both stayed in the draft!

Didn't watch nor really cared to be honest, but my friend who's a Duke fan posted on FB "We own the draft". I responded, "We own the trophy".

Sweet . - - Couldn't have come back with a better response

@wissox tell that to Trevor Keels

Interesting that the Nuggets and Collin Gillespie signed a two-way deal

Read today gave the salarys of this years every players money in 1st round picks. - - It said they went of the Salary Scale Value based on the 22-23 Rookie Scale chart real GM

A Player can sign for as little as 80 % to as high as 120 % of the scale value of where they were selected. - -Rookie contracts last for 4 years , with the last two years as team options.

So they have Ochai Salary listed for his rookie contract at 3, 221, 600 - - & Christian at -2,309 , 100 Dollars. - be hard to take huh - - College players one day - - Millionaires the next lol

McCormack signed a Summer League and training camp deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Lots of people go to summer camp in Minnesota!

@wissox You are on a roll today!

PHOF !

The Cavaliers have officially signed 2022 draft picks Ochai Agbaji and Isaiah Mobley, the team announced today in a press release.

The 14th overall pick in last week’s draft, Agbaji received the rookie scale contract that is standard for first-round picks. Assuming he signed for the full 120% of the rookie scale, which is the norm, he’ll earn approximately $3.9MM in year one and $18.7MM across four years.

The 22-year-old Agbaji won an NCAA championship with Kansas as a senior in 2021/22 and enjoyed his best college season, averaging 18.8 PPG and 5.1 RPG with a shooting line of .475/.407/.743 in 39 games (35.1 MPG).
