The 2015 NBA Draft Thread: Draft Day Is Here

[buc em]

I think Stanley is more in that mold of a Kawhi or Jimmy Butler.

 

[awwsome]

I see the physical tools, but I don't see what Oubre does well.

He doesn't have any NBA skills right now, just the body and athleticism.

 

[antidope]

Frank Kaminsky really is my wild card pick of the draft. No idea if he's going to flourish or fail.

 

[hypebeast5]

Do people still draft Kristaps in the top 5 seeing the overwhelming number of international players that bust in the top 5?

Or is every prospect a special case, I'm not asking if he's worthy, I'm asking if other international prospects busting early, giving international players a bad rep, Im looking at you Jan Vesley

big frank will be a solid pro. rotation big off the bench at worst. dont think he'll be a star by any means, but he'll be a solid player that spreads the floor and can score down low from time to time.

You right, dude's handles are looking like straight trash

Brian Scalabrine?

 

[awwsome]

I know he's slotted to go later but does anyone else think the Rockets draft RJ Hunter? Seems to fit their mold. They need a point guard, but I think I'd rather have Hunter than Jerian Grant.

I'd go Grant if I'm the Rockets, he's already played in a system similar to theirs at ND.


Also I just like he and Harden together, definitely think he could snatch Bev's job.

scalibrine wishes he was as skilled as big frank

See thats what I thought at first, then I started seeing all this talk about him becoming a star and "The great white hope" and I've been trying to find whatever it is that is making people say these things and I can't do it.

 

[awwsome]

Gordon Hayward is the great white hope, dude is a stud and the Jazz going to be a playoff team.

Frank is good but I don't ever see him being a star.

Can definitey see #3 or #4 option on a contender though.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

i really like big frank on the pacers.

Young Don Draper. Dudes life made a turn for the better when he ditched that stupid bowl cut.

0-100 real quick

He is the hope but realistically it seems he will fall short of delivering that and its hard to say why

i really like big frank on the pacers.

i could see it, especially with David West potentially leaving

i need Trey Lyles to be a Wizard

 

[antidope]

Tell me why when you google Gordon Hayward one of the suggested searches is his haircut

wish we had the assets to trade for a mid first rounder to grab lyles.

Yup, as soon as he changed the cut his game went to the next level.

Expecting a big year from him this upcoming season, love the core of him/Favors/Gobert.

All 25 and under.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Kristaps lack of strength isn't really concerning to me at all, somehow 19 year old prospects always find a way to put on the weight.


It's the BBall IQ.


I've been burned by a European big man, terrible Bball IQ in the past (Andrea Bargnani) and I can't get over it.


Kristaps appears to be tougher and a better rebounder, but all that size and mobility is usless if he doesn't know where to be and what to do on defense.

I still remember that horrendous play where dude legit tried to dunk on a dude from way to far and got hurt one of the more funny fail plays ever
