Geoff Peterson posted:I've got concerns about Ellenson's defense and I don't trust Taylor enough to choose the right coaching staff to help him make the significant strides he'd need to on both sides of the ball. Say what you will about his in-game coaching (it's bad), but Sam Mitchell and the rest of the staff have done absolute wonders this year developing all the young guys. We could do a whole hell of a lot worse than just keeping the entire staff together and just adding a new head coach (moving Mitchell back to assistant).

Looking forward to the Wolves moving up for the first time in franchise history  Am I crazy for wanting Murray if they end up third (assuming Simmons and Ingram go 1/2). I like him more than Hield and also feel like he could fit in with either Rubio (playing the 2) or LaVine (playing the 1) to give a sort of three-headed monster at guard.

straight up brolic posted:meh, if you look at his college career, he's at 40% and he shot 37% off the dribble last season, which would make him an elite off the dribble NBA shooter from long-2 range. Player he actually reminds me most of is Lillard in terms of shooting. Really agile and deceptive. Quick release. Can get crowded out by bigger players. I think he should adjust pretty quickly, especially on a team like the Bucks that can put him against opposing PGs. His senior numbers are so out of line from his career averages in college, I just feel like he's going to crash back to Earth hard. Like, his senior numbers raised his averages so high that his senior season is the only one that's above them for most ratio stats.

straight up brolic posted:no one shoots ~40% off the dribble from three and makes 45% of ten attempts per game accidentally. So you're saying he missed 60%/55% of those shots on purpose then? :iamafag: e: I don't have an actual argument other than "I'm looking at the numbers and this is how I feel about them" and it would be pointless for me to continue down the thread. I do agree that Hield has the higher floor, but Murray's numbers as a freshman were better than any of Hield's seasons bar this one, which is why I think he's the better prospect.

Paul Zuvella posted:The Celtics should probably trade pick #3 or take Buddy, to be honest. I have no idea what the sixers are going to do because regardless of who they draft their best 3 players are going to be Centers or Power Forwards, with 2 more possibly coming onto the team. They really have to trade Okafor or Noel. Probably Noel. Doesn't Ingram project as more of a 3? Aniki posted:I'm not sure who I want the Wolves to take. It seems like a lot of mocks are project Dunn to the Wolves. He fits Thibodeau's mold of long athletic defenders, but he's had a couple of shoulder injuries and seems to be an inconsistent shooter. It would be nice to have another good PG, since the offense drops off hard when Rubio is off the court, but the Wolves really need to prioritize complementing what they have with shooters. For shooters you have Hield and Murray, who I would be fine with, but I'm less certain if they fit what Thibodeau may be looking for. Finding a PF would be nice, but I don't see Bender sliding to 5 and even if he does, he may be too much of a project. Then there is Ellenson, who could develop into a stretch 4, but I don't see him fitting with Thibodeau emphasizing defense. I am actually wondering if Skal Labissiere is the best fit at PF, since he's a long, athletic defender and having another big who can block shots and defend the perimeter would be really nice. I wouldn't mind Skal if we traded down for him (maybe Buddy is on the board at 5 and someone in the 9-12 range is in love with him) but I still think you take BPA in the top five outside of extreme circumstances (which I don't think the Wolves fall under).

This kind of posturing always happens around the draft. Of course a player wants to play for a huge market team. It almost never actually amounts to anything.

Rick posted:Buyout is 1.3 million, I don't know how much he's making but average salary for the league is like ~100k a year and at least at this point Bender isn't exactly a star over there. You only have to pay half the buyout up front but 650K is still a lot. I guess he could get a loan. Yeah, it's like 650k up front, which I think is a pretty small buyout for a player like him? And his first year salary is like 4 million if he gets taken third, so I'm sure he'd be able to get a loan.

Rick posted:Unless the player refuses, every workout has a competitive element to it, and teams love to do 5 on 5 scrimages with players if they let them, which would show off Dunn's skillset quite well. And usually if one guy agrees to it, the other people he's competing with are compelled to do it as well. If I'm Dunn I want the team I'm trying to get drafted to see what Buddy looks like trying to run an offense full of old men and d-leaguers. That's what Dunn is doing last I heard (a couple days ago)? He won't do one on none workouts, but he will do workouts against other top prospects. Which is exactly what he should be doing because it's the only way the workout will help him, imo.

^^^ that makes more sense ^^^Metapod posted:He's saying if you add each line across the same spot on the X axis on some areas it's over 100% Yeah. For example, the first pick adds up to ~245%. But if it's a stacking graph then it stops at ~95%. Neither of these are how graphs work so they're doing something wrong and it bothers me because I don't know what they're trying to say outside of "higher picks have a higher chance to be better but they can also be bad" which, well, no poo poo.
