MourningView posted:Oh okay, let's not scout at all and just draw names out of a hat. It's a crapshoot!!!! I doubt they are just leaving it all up random internet strangers. See if anyone out there gives them anything slightly interesting for free and get some publicity out of it. Worst case, you disregard everything and just use your own data. Best case, you find some diamond in the rough to add to your front office. Most likely case, Declan and dokmo get jobs in Sacramento

Declan MacManus posted:McDermott was never going to blow up the combine like Harrison Barnes. He is what he is I don't mean athletic numbers I just meant height. Every knows he's not the most athletic guy but he's just 6'6" without shoes and has an unimpressive wingspan so now you might not even be able to hide him at PF quote:-Doug McDermott: McDermott didn't exactly help himself measuring only 6-6 ¼ without shoes, 218 pounds and an average 6-9 ¼ wingspan. McDermott already struggles athletically and has some serious tweener concerns on the defensive end. Although not quite as long, McDermott compares physically to Tobias Harris (6-6 ½ no shoes, 223 pounds, and a 6-11 wingspan). NBA Teams expressed some concern about McDermott's ability to spend time at the power forward position due to his underwhelming measurements.

@DraftExpress Dante Exum's standing (31.5 inches) and max vertical (34.5) are just middle of the pack. Standing vert is the same as MCW, max much lower. Does this mean the next Russell Westbrook won't be dunking over fouls

Noah's measurements are so good that I have to resign myself to the fact that someone will take him before #7 and I'll have to settle for Aaron Gordon. That's probably not the worse thing in the world since he sounds like an amazing defender

I think we can all agree that Bennett can improve on his terrible season and that he has some tools, but I can't even imagine the mental gymnastics it would take to look at that season and say "yep, that's a future Jamal Mashburn all-star right there".

Bigass Moth posted:Can someone explain what happened with Dion Waiters' agent influencing the pick because it sounds like a very lol moment. Dion Waiters agent completely shut him down during the Combine and refused to do any workouts or interviews. People assumed he had a promise from some team in the lottery but no one knew who. Cleveland panicked and took him at #4 (because someone else will snatch him from us if we trade down!), which was considered a reach at the time. It's pretty amazing because usually from the Combine to the draft a player's faults and short comings are put under a microscope. In Waiters' case his agent completely turned this around and used mystery to build his hype

Icy Penguigo posted:I don't care what reasoning they have to draft someone, if the pick turned out OK in retrospect than it's a dumb thing to be mad about. Generally, if a person makes bad decisions, bad results will happen even if it manages to work out for them every once in awhile. Which explains how Cleveland got to where it is at.

Aaron Gordon looks/sounds like he's already a good defender and is really athletic, so he should at least have some kind of decent floor. But then I thought the same thing about Corey Brewer so I don't know.

DOOP posted:It wasn't a straight swap, if you believe the rumors Cousins was targeted as the franchise cornerstone the second Vivek took ownership of the team and they gave him a max deal pretty much as soon as they could. I have a very hard time believing that Philly not only almost landed Cousins but also convinced Sacramento to trade down from #7 (they were trying to trade up to get McLemore); all of which happening without anyone on the Sacramento side getting wind of it.

DOOP posted:That what the rumors said anyway. Kings/Sixers working on a deal until an hour before the draft, the Kings pulled out, and the Sixers dealt with the Pelicans instead. No one knew about the Sixers/Pelicans deal either before it happened fwiw A lot of rumors are dubious at best (hello Hoopshype!) or are partially true but completely miss the mark on how progressed the talks are or how interested the parties are. It's entirely possible the Kings talked with Philly about a Cousins deal but when they found out Philly wanted to turn two lesser players and lower pick into a better player and higher pick, Sacramento just hung up. kiimo posted:Any Kings fans want to tell me what's wrong with McLemore? Is there hope for him becoming more of a consistent scorer? He had a really rough rookie season. He had no dribble game (which we already knew), but he had a lot of trouble adjusting to the NBA 3pt line. He was gassed too. Unless he makes some major strides, I don't see him being a go-to 20ppg scorer. But he's got great physical tools and moves really well off-the-ball already so he still can be a great offensive cog.

Ty1990 posted:That deal is a loving joke but is it really that much worse than Jrue Holliday for 2 top ten picks? Well, New Orleans' thinking was that they were making a playoff push. So it was Jrue Holliday for a top 10 pick in a weak draft and a (hopeful) mid-first rounder. Not quite as bad. Contrast that with Sacramento giving up a better player and a better pick. To get back to the original topic, Thaddeus is a nice player but I really wouldn't want to trade the #8 for him and I'm worried the FO will. He's both young, experienced, and a forward which sounds dangerously close to the ideal candidate to the FO WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 18:25 on May 28, 2014 |

November McLemore was my favorite McLemore. Every game he would try to take off from the free throw line and throw it down over fools in traffic. Literally every home game I went to that month he would try to do this. But he never managed to pull it off, so between getting gassed and Malone benching him for Thornton he completely stopped trying to do this If McLemore develops any kind of dribbling skills, it might open things up for him offensively. If not, then we basically have to pray that he finds his NBA 3pt range to be of any kind of use

Rick posted:Are these interviews to be taken seriously? Cuz the Lakers seem to be working out and interviewing just about everyone, including Gordon. It's usually just teams doing due diligence and checking out anyone who might be available around the team's spot. After Gerald Wallace, Petrie vowed to never draft a player he never had a chance to interview/workout. He later broke this rule by drafting Thomas Robinson...drat it Petrie why couldn't you stick to your guns. What is interesting is when teams work out players mocked way below their current pick, making you wonder if they are thinking of trading down or picking up someone else's pick
