The first round of the NBA draft took place yesterday evening. Your boy Steviepooooo and his sidekick Napolean were completely locked in. Well Napolean fell asleep on the couch before the tenth selection. Steviepooooo on the other hand was locked in until after midnight.
Napolean only awoke after midnight when it was time to go to bed. He then proceeded to lead your boy on a merry chase around the house because he did not want to go to bed. Steviepooooo wanted to go to bed very badly. A lot of cursing in both French and English followed this little puppy around the house late at night. This was sadly one of the most entertaining events of the evening as the NBA draft was devoid of any surprises.
The night started out strong when Dallas drafted the consensus number one pick, Cooper Flagg. The best comparison for Flagg that I have heard is a smaller Kevin Garnett with better, shooting and permitter skills.
To all you young kids who do not remember Kevin Garnett, he was an all-time great post player. What really separated Garnett from the rest of the pack was his hyper competitive personality. People who played against Garnett commonly stated that they felt that they were playing against a complete psychopath. Similar statements have been said about Flagg during the pre-draft process and during his one season at Duke.
I’m not usually one to partake in conspiracy theories. That being said all birds are robots planted by the government to listen to us. Also, the NBA lottery was rigged to give Dallas and Nico Harrison’s dumb ass Cooper Flagg.
The more I sat on the fact that Dallas won the lottery the more I have started to lean towards the camp that the lottery was indeed rigged. I am not saying that every draft lottery was rigged. I just think that this one probably was.
The Luka Doncic trade made almost no sense back in February when the transaction was completed. However, when you think about it from the possibility that Dallas General Manager Nico Harrison agreed to send Luka to the Lakers in exchange for an under the table handshake that he was going to get Cooper Flagg, it makes a lot of sense!
I personally really wanted Cooper Flagg to end up in San Antonio with my dude Victor Wembanyama. If those two teamed up lil Steviepooooo would have been at full attention all season long. I will however settle for the fact that us basketball fans get to witness Flagg and Wembanyama go at it on rival teams for the foreseeable future.
Enough about Cooper Flagg. Poor Mrs. Steviepooooo is going to have to listen to me rave about him for the next fifteen to twenty years. Let’s give her a break for the time being.
The main dominating storyline of this year’s draft was the uncertainty surrounding Rutgers freshmen Ace Bailey. If Love Island season seven has taught us anything, it is that people named Ace fucking suck! To be fair this Ace Bailey kid might just have bad people surrounding him and is not that bad of a person himself.
To those of you who are not as locked in as I am to the NBA draft, what I am referencing is the fact that Ace Bailey and his team did their best to not have him drafted by certain teams. They refused to meet with and work out for certain teams with the hope that he would slide in the draft. The intention was for him to land on a team like Washington that does not have many good players. Ace would then be able to be the number one scoring option and put up the best stats possible. That is at least what Ace Bailey and his management team were allegedly thinking.
Ace’s agent literally said he did not want to go to the Utah Jazz. Lucky for Steviepoooooo and fellow basketball junkies, The Utah Jazz are run by all time NBA hard ass Danny Ainge. Ainge did not give a flying fuck what some punk nineteen-year-old and his agent wanted. He did his job and drafted the best player available. That player was of course the one and only Ace Bailey.
Not half an hour after he was drafted by the Jazz Ace Bailey and his campy started grumbling about him not wanting to go to Utah. Too bad Ace! Enjoy Utah you little miscreant.
The ironic thing to me is I actually think Utah is a really good fit for him. I personally think Ace was the most talented player in the draft after Cooper Flagg. Utah has great coaching and talent developers and will get the most out of Ace. If he could gain just an ounce of maturity, he might realize that.
Utah won the draft to me when they stole Ace Bailey with the fifth pick and then followed it up by getting my dude Walter Clayton Jr. from Florida with the eighteenth pick. Personally, I was hoping Walter would go to a more established NBA franchise so I could watch him in the post season. By drafting Walter and Ace, Utah is on the path to being playoff contenders themselves.
Some other quick draft thoughts.
No idea what my hometown Bulls were doing taking some unknown Frenchie with the twelfth pick.
Egor Demin to the Nets at eight has bust written all over it.
I am very pumped to see the giant Chinaman Yang Hansen take the court with Zach Edey in Memphis.
That is all for me today. Please like and subscribe so my Chihuahua Albert will stop looking at me with such a condescending expression on his little face.
A bientot!
