Dejan Bimble posted:How many future firsts + Andre Drummond would the PIstons have to trade to get into "Jaren Jackson Jr" range I think it would depend on who originally would be picking JJJ. Given his mind boggling improvement in FT%, I don't think Drummond's contract is too onerous.

El Gallinero Gros posted:How deep is this draft? Is it the type where it'd behoove a team with no picks to try and get one, particularly in the 1st round? A really solid 8-12 deep depending on who you talk to. I think it depends on team need. It's probably not worth it to trade into the midfirst unless you're in love with someone. You can probably draft what you need at #30-35 and get a similar player that you would get from #20-25.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Allow me to elaborate: the Raps have one pick, a 2nd round pick at #37. If Boston offered them their pick (#27) for Van Vleet, who we can't really re-sign at what he's worth, should they bother? Sure, but, and I could be incorrect, I don't think Toronto has any picks this year and I don't think VanVleet can be traded. If you're looking to replace him, it wouldn't be the worst idea to try and get a pick in 20s. There are a few SGs in that range who have some NBA potential.

El Gallinero Gros posted:We apparently get the less favorable pick because of some trade involving Orlando and LAL according to NBADraft I think that was true until the DeMarre Carroll trade, but now Orlando and Brooklyn will have the LAL/Orlando second rounders; Orlando gets the better pick and Brooklyn gets the worse. It's really confusing. I can't find any site other than nbadraft.net that has the Raptors with their 2nd. I haven't seen much of Holiday, but Graham could be really fun.

kiimo posted:Can someone tell me why 6-3 SG Khyri Thomas is going in the teens and 6-3 SG Malik Newman is undrafted in these mocks still? I was going to say age because Newman transferred from Ole Miss and had to sit out last year, but Thomas is actually older. My best guess is that a lot of mocks haven't updated in the past week or two and are waiting for the tournament to finish before doing so. Newman was flying under the radar until March; iirc he was 4th or 5th on the team in usg% for the year.

xbilkis posted:I'd be fine with it depending on who's on the board at the time. It'd just be very predictable if the Bulls passed on high-upside prospects — at a moment in which the Bulls are in need of star talent — for an older role player Bulls fandom seems to be obsessed with MPJr at the moment and he's been reciprocating the love.

Doncic is probably a better shooter than the numbers indicate. He's been playing for 18 straight months and takes an inordinate number of last second heaves that submarine his 3pt %. He'd be a great fit with the Sixers or Cavs, assuming LeBron stays. The most interesting match would be with the Nuggets though. Murray, Harris, Doncic, Milsap, Jokic would be realllllly fun to watch.

Lockback posted:Doncic has a better shot and will probably finish better, his passing might be as flashy as Rubio's but I don't think his defense will be as good and I don't know that he will be as good at making the point guard decisions (that's not a detriment, it'll take a couple years). He's not like Exum in any way whatsoever.

Doltos posted:What do you think about JJJ's ability to shoot the 3 though? Weird mechanics aside the ball goes in at a reasonably good clip, especially for a dude like him. He's also pretty decent off the dribble which is really interesting for a top of the key big man. That's the skill that would make me consider him at #1. He's got a much better handle than I expected in terms of putting it on the floor and attacking the basket from the three point line.
