*** NBA Draft In-Game Thread ***

[B.A.R.]

Two days away!

This should be a pretty interesting draft at the top. I saw Paulo odds for 1st pick went from 1600 to 250 at a US book earlier today. Interesting.

Jabari only visited the top 2 picks.

Detroit slipped to the 5 hole unfortunately. They have the bait that is Jamari Grant dangling as well. I think they might be active.

Thoughts? Bets?

Leggoooooooo.

Be a fun cap the next couple days

No picks for the locals means it's strictly about the gamble

Banchero is going first unless Orlando trades I believe, and even likely if they do trade

the odds don’t indicate Banchero going first.

They don't but I expect them to in a couple days. I don't think Jabari does, he'd be a deflating, settling first overall

 

[King Slap]

Whoever gets Al Durham in the 2nd Round is getting the steal of the draft

The odds at BetMGM seem to agree with this. They’ve got Banchero at +200 and Holgren at +300.

DraftKings is +210 Holgren/+240 Banchero

That's the risk too

It's possible a team sees Chet as a unique all-timer and tries to move up. I just think if Jabari is the first pick, whichever team does take him, the fan base won't be enthusiastic. Like Chet and Banchero are the two flashy names if you want to create buzz.

Ya laugh @B.A.R. but I'm gonna hold this receipt for a long while

[King Slap]

I don't think Jabari, Chet or Banchero are worthy of 1st pick.

Sharpe or Mathurin should be (yes papa I'm ready for your homer comments)

Murray might be the best, most consistent of a very mediocre class

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Chet needs to gain a lot of weight and muscle…but i‘d rather pick someone who just needs to hit the weightroom than someone who lacks talent and skill

Making a case for Mathurin then

These receipts in the same pile as those Celtics locks?

I threw those out

 

[B.A.R.]

I threw those out

Convenient

 

[KJ]

I threw those out

None of it's actually deductible anyway

 

[B.A.R.]

Some interesting over/unders on position to myself as of now...at BOL

Mathurin under 6.5 is -200

Keegan Murray under 5.5 is -290

Sharpe under 8 is -140

 

[B.A.R.]

I'd lean heavily to Sharpe UNDER there.

Keegan is an interesting one. Some have said the Kings will pull the trigger here. I don't see Detroit drafting him to be honest (fit).

Ben could go anywhere 5-9 to be honest. I keep seeing comparisons to KCP (which just infuriates Detroit fans).

 

[KJ]

Midnight to 2am this is where day sleeps and capping has drawn me to

So tough with this class, there simply isn't some sure fire star and I can see trades dominating the lottery

 

[B.A.R.]

Looking at 1st-3rd Numbers at BOVADA


#1

Jabari -250
Paulo +125
Chet +350

#2

Chet -200
Paulo +300
Jabari +175

#3

Paulo -350
Chet +450


Interesting prop as well.

22 players will be in the green room.

Will any of those go UNDRAFTED in the first round?

YES +250
NO -400

 

[KJ]

It's chalky but love Chet #2 and no on the green room

Hoops is easier to cap a green room bet than football because it's somewhat an individual sport

As for Chet, I don't really think anyone will move up to 1st for him but also can't see him falling to 3. -200 seems like great odds imo

 

[survive&advance]

Took mathurin under 6.5 -125 and Murray under 5.5 -220

 

[survive&advance]

Paolo #1 is down to +160 on czr…(+300 on fd). Have no clue wtf is gonna happen tomorrow night

Now at DraftKings

 

[KJ]

Wow quite the shift

Jabari is now -350 to go first

Have a feeling if so, it will be an incredibly humbling #1 overall

 

[KJ]

Woj reporting that Jabari, Chet, Banchero in that order is all but done

Still question laying odds on that in case of a trade but hard to think this draft has anyone itching to give up the future to move into the top 3

Probably safest bet is Chet to OKC at 2, even laying -500 seems like an underlay. OKC is smitten with him and I don't see someone giving up the farm to move to #1 for him.

 

[survive&advance]

Adding Dieng top ten +110

 

[twinkie13]

Adding Dieng top ten +110

This might be my only play

 

[KJ]

6-10 are giving me a massive headache

This draft is so bizarre

 

[B.A.R.]

Adding Dieng top ten +110

I'll tail this.

 

[twinkie13]

I'll tail this.

Pels at the very least

 

[reNew Orleans]

I threw these out there. Probably going 0-4

Ousmane Dieng Over 11.5 -145
Malaki Branham Under 14.5 +170
Jeremy Sochan Under 12.5 +170
Johnny Davis Under 9.5 +260

 

[twinkie13]

Even if it’s traded, I’m riding it

 

[twinkie13]

Steaming now

 

[B.A.R.]

Steaming now

What is?

 

[KJ]

Make this ingame

We just got Thunder, -500 on Chet is a gift!

 

[reNew Orleans]

I love how Eric Gordon is viewed as an asset every year.

 

[KJ]

LMFAO Banchero is now -200 to be picked first

Anyone have drama like this in real life?

You serious or another joke like earlier?

Jabari went from -500 to -900 between 645 and 715

Never seen anything like this in NBA or NFL

It's basically a virtual concussion

Jabari went from -500 to -900 between 645 and 715

They took it off the board but it was there

Promise it just happened and I can't get lines now

Was a brain tornado

 

[B.A.R.]

Adam Silver so sexy!

 

[B.A.R.]

Looks like quite the pump fake but Woj says that's the pick.

Wow.

Devastating.

 

[B.A.R.]

So yesterdays money was the smart money.

Some times I say I'm dizzy because it's convenient
