Cool Buff Man posted:It's stupid to be saying this really but he looks lebron-like in the way he can hold the ball for a second up towards halfcourt, see the whole floor, and fire off a perfect pass that finds an often completely surprised teammate He looks like he has the natural ability to turn into a good shooter. That's the last piece. Jesus he is a good prospect.

Huge gamble for #1 that he learns to shoot. He's not going to by March.

This draft class is really looking weak and shallow. Skal and Jamal Murray don't look like top 5 picks to me. And people are hyping 22 year old seniors as lotto picks. Grim.

Simmons is going to be best a PF on defense most likely. He'll be his own position on offense. IMHO.

Isaac Allen may be in this draft.

He may also have just failed out of school. Is that even possible in the SEC though?

Crazy Ted posted:DraftExpress has him in the 35-40 range as a best-case scenario for this year. Considering those contracts aren't guaranteed he should go back to school. Uh one year of nba salary is a lot more than he'd earn at school ($0). Edit I see this was addressed. Can't wait for one and done to go away. It's such a scam and mockery.

Cuban said right after l'affair Deandre that it was time to tank. So I guess it's on his mind.

Noel is most likely gone imho. Next year is already his 4th. Okafor will also likely be traded especially if Embiid can play a full season. So there is plenty of room for BS.

Simmons and Towns would be ludicrous.

Grozz Nuy posted:Trading your high lottery pick so you can better play a big man coming back from multiple foot-related injuries seems... ill advised. Yeah listening to Hinkie today they have no confidence on his foot. So imho Okafor is sticking around.

I think he's a definite 3 and makes it a 3 player draft now.

straight up brolic posted:Bender looks good for a player his age but is still 2+ years away from where Porzingis was when he came to the league imo Do you mean 2 years from draft Porzingis or 2 years from the Zingis who showed up in October.

Towns, Karl Antonius Nerlens Noel

They did sign FAs and veterans. Anyway if you are saying Bender is 4 years from Zingis now good god that is pretty far away.

Ok maybe not 3 player but you have 2 top tier and I guess now one in the tier right below and above all the ncaa upperclassman garbage. (I apologize for speaking of the Process).

Does that mean bulls get the 17 pick and Sixers get the 2019 pick?

WhyteRyce posted:The balls are split evenly, so they get less chance where they are at #8 now than if they weren't in a 3 way tie. But at this point I don't even care about lotto chances. I'm just glad they are are in a position to most likely keep their pick but also grab one of the guards if one of the bigs rockets up the charts. Why is it so complicated.

Also there are strongly sourced rumors that the Sixers ownership did not want Porzingis. Also jfc the gap between Porzingis and Okafor is not that great. It's not ridiculous to take okafor first.
