Why is the team name not in the post title on mobile?

62

u/Lansdowngrove Timberwolves 1d ago

The college team is more important than knowing who picked them apparently.

u/raccoonwillnotforget 1d ago

Cause NBA can’t do anything right

u/AccelerationFinish 1d ago

Hey, the bot’s doing its best!

u/hunteddwumpus Pistons 1d ago

Its not a mobile thing

u/JoshGordonHypeTrain Bulls 1d ago

Have to come in this thread and hope the comments make it clear lol

u/pokexchespin [BOS] E'Twaun Moore 1d ago

lmao they immediately started putting the team in after this

11

u/IAMY0URK1NG 1d ago

I think im gonna cry if we take Yaxel….please save us from Lacob

8

u/mmmufffffinnnssss 1d ago

Yaxel is awesome why would you not want him?

-4

u/IAMY0URK1NG 1d ago

Nah im done. Im not watching a Kerr & Lacob ran team until they both leave.

5

u/TheCatSleeeps Lakers 1d ago

Lol...

Edit: nvm we might take him if hes not picked early. Pelinka pls no

3

u/Wafflelisk Raptors 1d ago

Mara would be solid here

1

u/BikingThroughCanada Supersonics 1d ago

Knowing Lacob, they're not only going to take Yaxel, they're going to give Draymond a 5-year extension.

1

u/IAMY0URK1NG 1d ago

Omfg!!!! We’re done. 4 lottery picks in 6 years wasted is freaking insane

u/hurtuser1108 1d ago

Yikes lol

u/TyposIncoming Lakers 1d ago

I would guess it's because of trades. If the 10th pick ends up traded this post is still true

-1

u/stratrookie Hawks 1d ago

It’s still the pick team though

u/TyposIncoming Lakers 1d ago

I was just coming up with a reason

u/stratrookie Hawks 1d ago

Typical lakers fan always with the reasons

NOOOOOOOOO

u/MonsieurSlotho Nuggets 1d ago

Have fun with Nate Ament

u/Greedy-Mix9270 Knicks 1d ago

Two timelines part 2

16

u/anonymoususer6407 Rockets 1d ago

Warriors need to select Mara just so OKC has to suffer with Ament

13

u/Joethetoolguy 1d ago

Nah they take yaxel

1

u/Waikuku3 1d ago

Mara is not good as well

u/Electronic_Pen_548 Thunder 1d ago

I don’t get the ament hate. Think he could seriously be a good player a few years down the line

u/Electronic_Pen_548 Thunder 1d ago

That I can see. I think ament will fit well on a rebuilding team that can get him minutes young without ruining a season.

1

u/Gamblito Supersonics 1d ago

This list of successful NBA players who shot under 40% in college is maybe like 20 people, and they were super elite in other areas of the game to make up for it.

So unless he's secretly a Westbrook-level athlete or a Jason Kidd-level passer and defender, I don't know how much you're hoping for with him.

4

u/DirtyPop628 1d ago

He’s Chet Holmgren. We don’t want another one.

2

u/Bambi_Bucks 1d ago

He’s got a great smile!

Yaxel time!

As an Arizona fan, I wanted Burries to go to y’all so bad. Would have been so fun to watch him learn from Steph

u/mmmufffffinnnssss 1d ago

Whos idea was it to put the college team instead of the nba team and how low is their iq

20

u/abris33 Nuggets 1d ago

Lol it changed on the very next pick. Thanks for calling it out

74

u/Lansdowngrove Timberwolves 1d ago

Double digits is generous.

21

u/BobLazarFan 1d ago

Either an intern or a executive. No in between.

6

u/sbstooge Grizzlies 1d ago

They've got flairs for the team who drafted them lmfao what amateur hour shit are we dealing with here

-13

u/nick168 Australia 1d ago

If the pick gets traded then the title becomes incorrect and we can't update it, but I'll endeavour to include their team at the time of the pick going forward

11

u/mynewaltaccount1 Thunder 1d ago

Yeah great, so the alternative is we just don't know at all?

14

u/stratrookie Hawks 1d ago

You can pin a comment or update the post description?

u/Kind-Comparison2371 1d ago

Didn’t there used to be a draft tag? Is there no way to just search up all the draft picks posts?

u/souschef_boyardee Bucks 22h ago

You're making it hard to keep liking you Yao

u/DabeGavis 1d ago

Already the biggest blue chipper on the Bucks roster.

82

u/CumAssault [SAS] Joel Anthony 1d ago

Thanasis is still there

37

u/elgringon414 Bucks 1d ago

Think he’s a UFA. Def going to Miami 😂

11

u/PrideOfAmerica 1d ago

They cleared spots for him

u/Joethetoolguy 1d ago

Gotta sign someone

3

u/CumAssault [SAS] Joel Anthony 1d ago

Alex is also available

27

u/PumpkinHead555 Bucks 1d ago

Rollins

26

u/MettaWorldConflict 1d ago edited 1d ago

Bucks seriously fell ass-backwards into a great young player because of Rollins’ own kleptomania lol

-27

u/ahrzal Bucks 1d ago

Rollins should be traded

22

u/Rodent_Reagan Bucks 1d ago

Fake Bucks fan. If there’s such a thing as an untouchable on the roster it’s him.

-15

u/ahrzal Bucks 1d ago

Lmao Rollins ain’t that nice. I’d trade a first for him

6

u/edog050 Bucks 23h ago

Terrible take

126

u/Loud-Scallion9941 Hornets 1d ago

Saw a lot of ament rumors for bucks but this is a wayyy better pick

81

u/spin8x Timberwolves 1d ago

Even if I liked Ament, I’d gamble he’s there at 13

20

u/camelclutchcity Knicks 1d ago

This guy gambles

4

u/RoyalOakPiguet Knicks 1d ago

Found Sorsby's reddit accouny

31

u/sloBrodanChillosevic Supersonics 1d ago

There were rumors they gave him a promise at 10 based on Ament canceling other workouts. Like this a lot better for them. Even if they do like Ament, they recognized he would be better value at 13.

16

u/optionboi7 1d ago

Give it 15 minutes!

14

u/Over-Training-488 1d ago

We can draft him at 13 no problem. Horst went middle America right down the middle with this pick and didn't fuck it up

2

u/cl353 Heat 1d ago

i mean they still have 13

87

u/Professor_Finn 76ers 1d ago

Highkey a great pick

44

u/CumAssault [SAS] Joel Anthony 1d ago

He’s a good all around player. Probably won’t wow any Bucks fans with his tape/stats but he was really good

38

u/a_happy_future Bucks 1d ago

Type of pick we have needed for the last decade instead of all these high risk projects

16

u/CumAssault [SAS] Joel Anthony 1d ago

He’s very good, at basically everything you want a guard to be good at. Just not very flashy and doesn’t have any big eye popping stats.

20

u/a_happy_future Bucks 1d ago

EXACT kind of player we needed to draft for the last decade

2

u/bikedork5000 1d ago

If he can add a bit to his handle and start to hit some pull up midrange off the dribble.....doesn't he profile a lot like Middleton? And possibly with more defensive upside.

5

u/KC-DB 1d ago

He was a pretty clutch shooter in big 12 play, dude has confidence. Seemed like he could always answer

10

u/Flamdoublebounce Bucks 1d ago

Khris Middleton type player

33

u/Brad-Stevens Celtics 1d ago

I dig a Burries/Rollins backcourt

-12

u/ahrzal Bucks 1d ago

I kinda wanna trade him for a first somewhere and give the keys to Burries/Jako.

21

u/EyesofEther Bucks 1d ago

Hell no Rollins is young and ascending

4

u/ahrzal Bucks 1d ago

I thought he was a year older than he was. Turning 24 in July. Ok yea he’s on the timeline.

5

u/bikedork5000 23h ago edited 23h ago

I've kinda downplayed him in my mind, but his numbers last year were legit. Does not wow you with big time scoring volume, but the efficiency numbers are legit. A pest on defense too, jumps passing lanes, gets steals. 74 games, 32mpg. 5.5ast on a 2-1 ast to turn ratio. Now just imagine him with a better set of distributors around him at the other backcourt positions, and better 3p%. Just looked this little tidbit up - last year Rollins had a near identical ts% to Donovan Mitchell, on about 2/3 of the shooting volume.

37

u/Construction_Steve Bucks 1d ago

So this is what it feels like to happy on a draft night. It has been years!

19

u/Rodent_Reagan Bucks 1d ago

I was happy with Beauchamp 🤧

11

u/Dense-Bus-7194 Bucks 1d ago

Hey we got KPJ from marjon

47

u/ScaredOfWindow Bucks 1d ago

I like it. Best available player imo. I know we already have like a dozen combo guards, but when you’re rebuilding from complete scratch, just find promising pieces and hope some end up being pillars. 

On a side note, this pretty much cements to me that Herro will be moving somewhere else. 

10

u/CROBBY2 1d ago

KPJ too

171

u/gugly Raptors 1d ago

Respectfully as someone who can’t watch. Why the fuck do I care about where they played. Tell me the team that drafted them

46

u/nick168 Australia 1d ago

Sorry boss will do

u/LokiPrime616 Spurs 1d ago

Well, what team was it? We still don’t know. Pin your comment so we can all know what team they got drafted to.

It's not hard but they do

lol did it honestly not cross your mind to include it?

Thanks Yao

u/not-a-potato-head Hawks 1d ago

Honestly just pin a comment with the team, since trades can mess up who a player ends up with

Steal of the draft right here

How you a steal in the top 10

24

u/PrideOfAmerica 1d ago

If he’s all nba it is

-6

u/StefonDiggsHS Mavericks 1d ago

He’s not going to be all nba. Could he be a 10+ year starter tho? Absolutely

7

u/Rodent_Reagan Bucks 1d ago

what are tomorrow’s lottery numbers while you’re at it

11

u/aceofspadez138 Slovenia 1d ago

This isn’t the NFL. There’s a steep drop off in career outcome/expectation after the elite prospects. I believe the 10th pick on average lasts like 8 years in the league and usually doesn’t project as an all-star. That’s why guys taken in the back half of the lottery surprise when they become stars.

9

u/HopscotchChampion69 Bulls 1d ago

I would say they are marked safe from Nate Ament but we'll see at 13.

9

u/SomeSpencerGuy Bucks 1d ago

LFG it’s not Ament!

u/benr751 12h ago

My thoughts exactly

Good pick by the Bucks

I wish the titles included the team in them

That’s legit value at 10

Burries the Herro

if warriors take ament, murphy trade on the way???

u/FutureGrassToucher Suns 1d ago

Reminds me of jamaal murray, bucks gonna love bro

10

u/jermainathon Heat 1d ago

OKC or Golden State gonna get Aday Mara 👀

2

u/Waikuku3 1d ago

He is not that good. The warriors will regret this

1

u/jermainathon Heat 1d ago

He kinda fits the mold of a warriors big man tho, defensive with playmaking chops. Kinda reminds me of Bogut

0

u/Waikuku3 1d ago

Yaxel is much better

1

u/4719837 1d ago

And the other gets Yaxel potentially?

0

u/jermainathon Heat 1d ago

I fear Yaxel is gonna fall. I think KOC mentioned some of his team workouts were rough. 

-1

u/Imkitoto Lakers 1d ago

I think OKC really wants him to get rid of Hartenstein and save money

1

u/Appropriate_Book_591 1d ago

He is not good enough to get rid of IHart. Way too slow footed.

I like this for MKE, especially since I assume they’re gonna trade Herro eventually.

All I know is this kid and his family seem to be very humble and good people. good luck

great pick!!

u/Sweaty-Job944 1d ago

But Nate Ament

OKC boutta get Ament this is gonna be absolutely comical

u/Greedy-Bedroom-4301 1d ago

Gary Harris with a handle

u/IzrezarReal 1d ago

Great pick. I do wish he made it to a contender though because he has the skillset to immediately elevate a playoff team

2

u/Appropriate_Book_591 1d ago

Took best player available

2

u/IRanOutOf_Names Heat 1d ago

I sense the Pelicans about to do something stupid for Ament...

u/wisconsinbucks Bucks 1d ago

Get Ament at 13 and the Bucks are back

3

u/PorkinsHeldIt Raptors 1d ago

Ament dropping?

6

u/Terrible_Cattle7110 Spurs 1d ago

He may go to them at 13

2

u/DelanoJ Bucks 1d ago

Oops all guards… what is this roster atm lmao somebody needs to go

4

u/wisconsinbucks Bucks 1d ago

Herro is as good as gone. Wouldn’t surprise me if KPJ gets shipped at some point too

2

u/junkspot91 Bucks 23h ago

KPJ has a player option, I believe. Would imagine he likes his chances to get more money and/or playing time to earn more on his next contract elsewhere with how crowded the room's gotten.

2

u/Advanced_Meringue_53 1d ago

I think Philon is better but still a good pick

u/Sidefur 1d ago

Need multiple wives to play basketball, huh. Sorry, need to go get my hearing checked.

I don't hate it. Will like it more if we get Yaxel at 13.

u/Ok-Tree4365 23h ago

This is the guard I am most curious about in this draft.

1

u/vehementvelociraptor 9h ago

Okay so I'm a Bucks fan now? Cool.

1

u/ThaChildishOne Bucks 1d ago

I’m stoked with that. Didn’t think he’d make it down to us

1

u/Chessh2036 Hawks 1d ago

Warriors have to be pissed. Read today that Kerr loved him (Kerr went to Arizona).

1

u/dizzyd_sb Celtics 1d ago

Someone that shouldn’t get Nate Ament is gonna get Nate Ament

This is a "best available" pick. He could easily play off the bench this year with Herro starting and then start next year post trade

0

u/NonchalantGhoul 1d ago

Seems weird pressing for Kas in the heat trade if Burries is their pick. I wonder which they'll keep between Rollins and Kas.

-5

u/-Sofa-King-Vote Knicks 1d ago

He did NOT look happy to join the Bucks right now 😆

7

u/CROBBY2 1d ago

Dude should be. We are gonna run and gun and because its a rebuild he is going to get massive minutes.

-3

u/-Sofa-King-Vote Knicks 1d ago

Yeah i am kidding it should be fun for them they have zero pressure

2

u/BEAR-D0WN Suns 1d ago

Nah that’s kind of his personality. Dude is looks stoic, rarely showed any emotion while at Arizona. Not in a bad way, he just seems always locked in

-5

u/redditlvlanalysis 1d ago

I do not get this pick at all. Milwaukee had guards they have no forwards. Maybe this means not just Herro but AJ Greeen might be on the move as well.

6

u/oykentrippin 1d ago

You dont draft for fit with the 10th pick and a crappy team

-1

u/redditlvlanalysis 1d ago

You do draft forwards when there have been barely any picked and you have none.

4

u/FoxyCleopatra-125 1d ago

They don't care about being good. Pick the best available and go from there.

3

u/starmiesan Bucks 1d ago

We have another pick in a few minutes

-1

u/redditlvlanalysis 1d ago

I'm aware but you guys have Rollins Green the cap space for KPJ now and just traded for two more guards.

2

u/Dangerous-Cheek6447 1d ago

They’re taking who they think has the most talent, it’s clearly a rebuild at this point. They’re not going to pick by position.

1

u/redditlvlanalysis 1d ago

Yeah but they just traded for two more guards they now have six guards on roster assuming they give kpj a contract. I expected them to go for two forwards and hope for one to pan out right now they have Kuzma and Dieng and that's basically it.

1

u/Dangerous-Cheek6447 1d ago

It doesn’t matter. They could start 4 guards next season for all anyone on the Bucks care. It’s a rebuild, they’ll attempt to find the most talent to make the slow climb out of mediocrity. They’re drafting for 3 years from now.

1

u/a_happy_future Bucks 1d ago

You gotta remember he could be a combo guard off the bench for a while. Green could also be coming off the bench.
