I would really like to know how these guys come up with body fat percentages. Russ Smith, 5'11" and 3.5% body fat, presumably a decomposing skeleton.

If Hinkie takes after his old boss he's going to draft without a whit of concern for need and fit, which, considering the Cavs, is probably the right approach.

It's extremely common for young big men to get in foul trouble. Although occasionally you get a guy who never figures it out like Ian Mahinmi or whatever.

IcePhoenix posted:Would Embiid be able to work as a 4 if the team drafting him already had a traditional center? Just throw away your existing center and go with Embiid. Chances are he'll be in foul trouble his entire first year anyway so there might not even be a minutes problem.

How many times did Motiejunas pull out of the draft? I guess it was probably 2-3 times. And then he turned out real bad! e: Now I'm looking through his draftexpress page quote:it's not a stretch to say that the 7-foot Lithuanian has blossomed into one of the best scoring big men in all of European basketball at the tender age of 20, and likely the most skilled power forward/center in the draft. Offensively, it's getting easier and easier to see where the comparisons with Pau Gasol are coming from. Good times chunkles fucked around with this message at 21:16 on May 30, 2014 |

I hope the Rockets draft him if he falls that far. T-Will and Royce White didn't pan out so third time's the charm.

I've been looking through draft profiles a bit and trying to find the Moreyest picks at #25 and #42. Adriaen Payne is absolutely perfect but seems to have played his way above #25. Draftexpress mocked Johnny O'Bryant with the #42 which looks pretty drat spot on.

Speaking of stupid things the Cavs could doCBS posted:The Sixers actually have engaged the Cavs about moving to No. 1. They aren't willing to give up both the Nos. 3 and 10 picks, but a combination of No. 3 and Thaddeus Young is a possibility. And it's a great scenario for Wiggins, as well. Of the three top teams, his camp prefers the Sixers as the best possible fit.

WhyteRyce posted:If you don't think there is a huge separation between all 3 of the candidates, then moving back and picking up a veteran who can help your stupid owner win now is kind of a shrewd move. But then you'd have to trust Cleveland's talent evaluation But I do!!! It just screams another one of those "win now" moves from Cleveland that somehow ends up with them not making the playoffs in the Eastern Conference e: Of course it's just a rumor, and apparently the 76ers idea anyway.

EMC posted:They are a tire fire at SF at the moment assuming Deng leaves, and they already have several guys that play PG/SG. Is Exum insurance for when Kyrie leaves? Or do they seriously believe Lebron is going to come back and fill that void? Anthony Bennett is 6'7", he can definitely play SF

I was pretending to be a Cavaliers GM, the real answer is that the Cavs love to fool themselves into drafting for need when they really should just focus on drafting NBA quality players

Declan MacManus posted:That last part is important because given how tall Embiid is, the risk of complications with his feet goes up, but there's no reason he can't make a full recovery. Sounds like a pretty awesome reason for stupid lottery teams to pass him up because they need to Win Now and can't potentially give up a season to rehab
