THT Going into the Draft

[VeloClone]

This is a ******* message board, not a news site.

The point is there is no way you have any idea what is getting whispered in potential draftee's ears, especially what is getting whispered in any one particular draftee's ears by every individual team, so quit acting like it is a certainty that you do.

Honest question, what's the chance that THT ISN'T drafted tonight? I really hope he gets his first round guaranteed $$ though.

he could go late or even go undrafted. He had a few great games but a lot of "meh" also. Anyone drafting him is thinking they have time and can improve his game. But I will not be surprised if he doesn't get chosen. Lack of height doesn't help either.

Looks more likely

Careful. I got eviscerated for saying something similar a few weeks ago.

We're still in the first round. He might slip to the 2nd, but he's getting drafted.

The Cavs' two picks from Vandy and Belmont. Those two schools aren't even a mile apart.

Did anyone's mock draft have Windler from Belmont going in the 1st round?

Hard to imagine there are 30 players in the draft better than Barry Brown and Dedric Lawson.

Those two aren't exactly freakish athletes and many of those 30 are basically freakish athletes.

Lawson is a soft player for the NBA and both lack athleticism. There definitely are.

Not looking good so far. Hopefully he goes soon.

Seems like a certain podcast host was lecturing cyclone fans questioning why THT was entering the draft a few months ago letting us know he was going to be a lottery pick...

Not that I had a problem with THT going to get his. Going on rants and lecturing fans because you read a few mock drafts just rubs me the wrong way.

really feel bad for him. A few really bad and way too early mock drafts seem to have led him astray. The whole system needs a LOT of work. I think they need to go to the baseball type system and let HS kids enter. See where they get drafted and then choose to go pro or to college.

*Lakers!

 

[bsaltyman]

THT to the Lakers!

 

[ArgentCy]

There he goes. Pick 46 to the Lakers. I think.

 

[Rabbuk]

Trainwreck organization oh boy.

 

[CycloneVet]

THT to the Lakers!

Good for him. Plenty of opportunity to make that team

If they go based on predraft boards, that’s on them. They should go based on what they hear from teams during workouts and their agent.

Lakers need cheap players. He might get some run this year
