I'd be shocked if MN passed on Bender but I don't think he'll be there. I am assuming he'd be gone. I think MN would go Hield above Dunn right now, with Ellenson as a dark horse. So Dunn might be there for Sacramento?? Probably not though.

Assuming the available prospects are on the same level/tier, I believe the Pels current priorities are wing, big, then guard. Really, though, they can't afford to be picky. Just about any position will work.

I'd rather have one of those guards and PF isn't a need, but Ellenson wouldn't be the worst thing for us and we could use our money to chase a FA PG instead of Ryan Anderson

Just about any position will work. The highest upside guy available will probably be Jaylen Brown. If the idea of an athletic aggressive wing with good handles who gets to the line at will and has a bad jumpshot sounds familiar, well, maybe he'll learn to shoot, and he's not a selfish player. I don't have a strong enough opinion to rank Hield/Dunn/Murray. I haven't watched them enough to get that sort of feel, but that's the tier I think Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Jun 1, 2016 |

He's a slerious project WhyteRyce posted:DX had Marquese Chris at #3. Sactowns finest baby.

I like Baldwin for Kings and Brown for Pels. Both feel good to me. Itd be funny if phx grabbed dunn and baldwin and tried a 4 pg lineup. I think they need bender.

On the one hand, Boston is good enough that they can afford to roll the dice on Bender, but on the other they probably will get something out of Marquese Chris sooner. Maybe.

Did you transpose those names? Chriss is the super athletic boom bust pf who didn't rebound or play defense. Bender is the guy who's been playing really well on a top team in a real league.

Bender is a bit of a Euro roll-of-the-dice. He hasn't been playing big minutes this year and is benched behind a bunch of stiffs. I sorta get that you don't play 18 year olds when trying to win a Championship, but its not like he's lighting the league up as a top performer. Don't get me wrong, I'd take him #3 in this draft but there is significant Bust potential. Doing some research I did find this quote from the Italy-based, no-fun Agent version of Bill Walton. quote:"Top players from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina play basketball to express beauty," said Maurizio Balducci, Bender's Italy-based agent, who is also watching the practice. "This is how [the late] Drazen Petrovic played and Toni Kukoc played. Dragan is very much from this culture. And dunking in a layup line when you are 7'1" is not an expression of beauty."

On top of what Lockback says, it seems the one consistent scout on Bender is that he's two years away. I think Chriss is closer if his offense translates to the NBA.

straight up brolic posted:Bender literally does not play. Israel is trash outside of the top teams. He's played like two guys with NBA athleticism. The jumper is real though. I guess I confused all the national team and u-18 stuff with pro play. Now there's egg on my face. He's really thin and he plays like a small forward, but he manages to look great while doing it. Get the boy some steroids. If you made Ersan Ilyasova average NBA pf quick, he'd be able to do more than attempt to take charges on defense, and he could get to the basket around close outs instead of just faking it. He'd also be a better rebounder. I see Bender as a rich man's Ilyasova, after his body develops. He's a smart passer and he looks like he cares. Brad Stevens could make him look fantastic. For potential I think I'd choose Chriss. NBA bigs who don't even attempt to play defense don't play. And he's so raw that he really needs to play. I think his 3p shooting is a bit of a fool's paradise, because defenses didn't seem to close out on him with any urgency. He might be a worse rebounder than Bender. But he's so loving bouncy and quick. The keltics could use a big who can finish pnrs while also shooting an average % from three. It would really boost their offensive ceiling. He has to learn to care about and play defense, I don't know if that's easy or hard. Being an NBA scout/gm seems impossible. How do you make these choices? Do you have an opinion of Taurean Prince?

straight up brolic posted:He's my favorite wing forward in the draft outside of the top 2 and I think he should be drafted before Brown. He's like the prototypical contemporary player. I was thinking the same thing, he's the jack of all trades role player wing of the present.
