The NBA Draft Thread

Cheers to another draft without having to here Simmon's bloviating.

His reaction to Anthony Bennett being picked # 1 was legendary.

All time moment considering James Young is on his way out of the league in another year or two.

Never liked James Young. Malachi Richardson gives me the same feeling of dislike I had for James Young . That's actually who I compare him too.

That 13-14 UK team had no business in the Natl Champ game that year. They just got hot and lucky at the right time. James Young and Andrew Harrison hitting crazy game winners like every game :x. That was Wichita St year mane....

I don't see how Simmons don't walk away with ROTY..His usage rate will probably be sky high and he will avg. a good amount of Reb and Ast..

I would at least wait until we see where people fall into place before we make statements like this. On the surface, yes, I probably agree but we don't know who will play for who. Veterans and rookies included.

The main thing about the green bender comp is the physicality factor. I just don't know if bender is built and wired like that. Not many guys are. The other skills and attributes I can see

Dragan Bender could be a tall Draymond Green, but are you willing to take a non go to player with a top 3 pick?

As a Celts fan, it's a really tough spot. If I know for sure that he reaches his ceiling and turns into some kind of Draymond/AK47/Diaw hybrid, I'd be happy with him. The issue is accepting the fact that he really won't make the team any better next year and they are sorely missing a player taller than 5'9 that can put the ball in the basket. Not being able to add a player that can help out this problem will be frustrating. This is where I get so torn with regards to trading the pick for Okafor, who would be able to help out immediately.

That's worth nothing.

But the Sixers will take him, so no worries for you.

Do you realize how many Lakers fans have tweeted him saying the same type of ****? He hasn't liked a single one of their posts...only the Sixers related ones.

I thought it was a great pick at the time too haha. I still think he could be a decent player at some point though. He's still only 20 years old and probably would've been drafted in the top 8 of this draft if he were in it...

Exactly. 50% of why makes Draymond so effective are his physicality, toughness and intangibles. I'm not sure Bender has those tools. And we shouldn't rush to make Dray comparisons to every 6'7 + PF who can shoot, pass and dribble.

Draymond green is like Anthony Mason on steroids with more range.

We'll see..but Im Almost 95% sure the sixers are drafting him and despite who they decide to put around him he will still probably have full reign of the offense and the ball in his hands most of the time..He will put a nice stats just base on his usage..

I am also talking about where everyone else falls and how much they are used in their respective systems

Can't wait to get me a pair of Ballin' Ben's when he gets his sig from
Nike

Hopefully we can get the 3rd pick from Boston

Been awhile since I've been in here

Go Sixers


Other note, I hope Gary Payton II gets drafted dude is going to be a steal

 

[buc em]

I'm about 70 percent certain Okafor will be going to the Celtics and Dunn will be drafted by the Sixers at 3.
