Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
Just saw this mock draft that has him going 27th to the Brooklyn Nets. That would be pretty sweet if he joined the likes of KD, Kyrie, Harden, and Griffin.

Has anybody seen him on any other mock drafts? I haven't looked around too much.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
I would prefer he not be influenced by 4 of the biggest turds in the NBA but he’d be used on defense for sure.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
Seriously Harden, KD, and Kyrie are everything that is wrong with the NBA: milking injuries, bouncing from team to team, ball hogs, and entitled.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
I don't have much respect for Kyrie, but KD I have no problem with. There are things I don't like about Harden's game, but it is tough to say the NBA assist leader training a a ball hog.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
I hate the flopping and it needs to be cleaned up both collegiately and professionally. However, I wouldn't put Harden on that list.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
Probably both. I’m not super close to it. Just saw the nba took an issue with it enough to fine Durant $50k. Seems to me that Durant has a history of doing stuff like this online. But maybe I’m wrong.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑April 4th, 2021, 4:18 pmA has been loser attacked him privately and then when was attacked back decided to release it to the world.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
Harden was the architect of two of my biggest pet peeves of modern basketball: “the gather/step back” and head throw back while driving to the hoop to get a foul called.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑April 4th, 2021, 4:21 pmI hate the flopping and it needs to be cleaned up both collegiately and professionally.

The first one has essentially added a third step and the latter form of flopping is like a bad JFK reenactment all the while using his off arm (shoulder, elbow, forearm) to create space. Free throws aren’t fun to watch but especially when they’re earned through deception.

My point is Harden plays hard and has played through injuries his whole career. He did jump to the Nets, but was with Houston for most of his career despite them being a lottery team when he got there. He wanted out after they fired his GM and coach who he played his best ball and won MVP for. Also, yes he bandwagoned with the Nets, but he also wanted to join Dantoni who is now an assistant with Brooklyn. Had Houston not fired Dantoni, Harden would still be in Houston. NBA players (fairly) get labeled as coach killers for being forcing coaches out and being primadonnas, but in this case, Harden was the opposite.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
I’ll give you that. He doesn’t milk injuries like Durant and certainly not Kyrie. He also doesn’t bother me off the court with his social media game like they do.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑April 4th, 2021, 11:32 pmOh no doubt he was a flopper and flopping is a serious problem in basketball that needs to get cleaned up.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
I was having a discussion with someone that is close to me about Queta. Which centers (legitimate centers that are 6-10+) would you draft over Queta?
Drew Timme? Evan Mobley? Kai Jones? ...?
Lastly, I can understand that Cunningham can score, but he can't play D or pass. I'll take Suggs or Mobley any day over him.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
Evan Mobley will be a top 5 pick and taken before Queta. Cade Cunningham has the athleticism and the body type the NBA oozes over so I still think he'll go number 1.AggieFBObsession wrote: ↑April 5th, 2021, 7:01 amI was having a discussion with someone that is close to me about Queta.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
Re: flopping - it is definitely annoying. It is a problem in all levels of basketball, but worst in the NBA. The only way it will stop is if there is some meaningful consequence.
One way to fix it overnight is to start ejecting players for flopping (exactly like the targeting rules in football) awarding the opposing team free throws and possession, and (in the NBA) fining repeat offenders progressively throughout the season.
The NBA players union would never go for that, of course, but it would stop it in a hurry.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
That isn't how I communicate with people and it is not how I would prefer others do so. Durant should have just not responded to him. His antics on twitter with his burner accounts are juvenile and beneath someone who is such a public figure. However this was a private conversation with as you rightly say was a douchenozzle who vulgarly attacked him and then released it to the world when Durant pushed back in a vulgar way. Unless it is criminal, it is pretty low class and pure sleaze to do release a private conversation like this, especially when you were the instigator. Rapaport comes off worse in this situation.Imakeitrain wrote: ↑April 5th, 2021, 10:39 amI’m not saying that rappaport isn’t a guttersnipe.

Yeah I agree with you on rapaport. I still don’t like Durant though.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
I am actually sympathetic to refs who don't catch it in the moment. Basketball is a tough game to referee and the NBA might be the toughest with how fast the game is moving. So issuing T's or ejecting guys is hard because the refs are often tricked by the flopping, thus why the problem continues and has gotten worse.Mr. Sneelock wrote: ↑April 5th, 2021, 10:28 amRe: flopping - it is definitely annoying.

What I would do is review the flops after the game and suspend players who flop. If you flop you lose a game. If you flop again, you lose two games. Make it a serious punishment and players will quit doing it.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
I know I'm looking at this from a fan's perspective but Queta (depending on where he gets picked) will really surprise some people on the next level. Look at his advanced stats:
Besides his size, shot-blocking / defensive ability (which alone would garner him consideration), he also has good offensive instincts, is a great passer, great rebounder, has a feathery jump shot, is smart, loves the game, and has that dawg mentality on the court.
Can't wait to see him play in the pros! I'd love to see my Sacramento Kings somehow get him.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
Brutal! He'll be a part of the turnaround next season when we can Luke Walton and hire someone who actually knows what they're doing (maybe Alex Jensen?). Besides, for a late 1st round/early second guy like Queta, it's all about getting early playing time and development. The Kings need a defensive-minded center.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑April 7th, 2021, 12:57 pmYeah the last place I want to see Queta is at one of the worst franchises in the league who hasn't made the playoffs in 15 years.LarryTheAggie wrote: ↑April 7th, 2021, 12:23 pmWhat you are saying is you want him to go to a team where he can waste away and be out of the league in 2 years?

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
Chad Ford released his second round picks today below are his comments. He currently has him at 37.
“Queta was an NBA prospect as a freshman, fell off the radar screen as sophomore and moved back onto the first-round bubble as a junior. He got a chance to shine in the NCAA Tournament and did his part, scoring 11 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, dishing six assists and blocking seven shots against Texas Tech. He can fill out a box score that way. His rebounding, shot-blocking and assist numbers are all really intriguing. He doesn’t have the quickest feet, which may limit his defensive versatility, but there are so many positives that he deserves a look in the late first round.
Draft range: 25-45”

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
Kai Jones isn't a C... He's a stretch 4 or a SF. There's also the C from Illinois. I also really like the tape on the kid from Senegal. Think there is also a small ball C from Turkey that can also shoot from the outside. I have a hard time not seeing Queta slip into the 2nd half of the 2nd round. On the right team with the right expectations I think he'll be an interesting piece that will play in the NBA for 5-8 years.AggieFBObsession wrote: ↑April 5th, 2021, 7:01 amI was having a discussion with someone that is close to me about Queta. Which centers (legitimate centers that are 6-10+) would you draft over Queta?
Drew Timme? Evan Mobley? Kai Jones? ...?
Lastly, I can understand that Cunningham can score, but he can't play D or pass. I'll take Suggs or Mobley any day over him.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
The Kings really shouldn't have canned Dave Joeger. Vlade Divac was horrible at running a team.OrangeCountyAggie wrote: ↑April 7th, 2021, 1:21 pmBrutal! He'll be a part of the turnaround next season when we can Luke Walton and hire someone who actually knows what they're doing (maybe Alex Jensen?). Besides, for a late 1st round/early second guy like Queta, it's all about getting early playing time and development. The Kings need a defensive-minded center.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑April 7th, 2021, 12:57 pmYeah the last place I want to see Queta is at one of the worst franchises in the league who hasn't made the playoffs in 15 years.LarryTheAggie wrote: ↑April 7th, 2021, 12:23 pmWhat you are saying is you want him to go to a team where he can waste away and be out of the league in 2 years?

Look at his advanced stats:
Besides his size, shot-blocking / defensive ability (which alone would garner him consideration), he also has good offensive instincts, is a great passer, great rebounder, has a feathery jump shot, is smart, loves the game, and has that dawg mentality on the court.
Can't wait to see him play in the pros! I'd love to see my Sacramento Kings somehow get him.

Agreed, I would have canned him the day he passed on Luka.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑April 15th, 2021, 4:23 pmThe Kings really shouldn't have canned Dave Joeger.

Re: Neemias Queta - Mock Drafts
I can see Queta being the type of player Toronto, San Antonio or OKC wants. I’d love to see Queta in Dallas.
Imagine the entertainment quality of Queta and Boban!
