miami_fan · 06-25-2015, 08:28 PM

Might be time to put some of these guys in the Brady Quinn room.

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 08:30 PM

Who's still left in the green room?

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 08:31 PM

After 17 picks, still sitting in the Green Room: Bobby Portis, Jerian Grant, Sam Dekker, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Kevon Looney. Who is last?

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 08:32 PM

I would be surprised if any of those guys slipped out of the first round - Looney might be a possibility, maybe.

Well, technically, I guess

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 08:38 PM

Dekker to Rockets.... Don't see the fit/need, but I guess you could argue he's the best prospect on the board.

Shoot more 3's...

miami_fan · 06-25-2015, 08:39 PM

WALLY!

murrayyyyy · 06-25-2015, 08:40 PM

I feel I will be disappointed when Portis ends up a Blazer...

murrayyyyy · 06-25-2015, 08:41 PM

3 way trade action now as Knicks are trading Hardaway for Grant (who wash is taking)

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 08:44 PM

Good trade for the Knicks.

nol · 06-25-2015, 08:47 PM

The Hawks just traded the #15 pick for two second rounders and Tim Hardaway Jr. They might need to get Danny Ferry back.

Rozier has to be getting traded. Somebody exciting has to be getting traded at some point.

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 08:49 PM

Surely someone could have offered more than a Hardaway Jnr to buy a pick at that position.

nol · 06-25-2015, 08:51 PM

The Raptors are killing it this draft. Getting the two picks for Vasquez and now picking up Wright to squeeze the Mavericks for him (or even to keep as a pretty decent backup point right off the bat).

JPhillips · 06-25-2015, 08:52 PM

GS won it all.

PICK ALL THE GUARDS!!!!

murrayyyyy · 06-25-2015, 08:54 PM

that's what is happening. Memphis 4 picks from Portis now. Come one Portland, leave him alone. Bulls don't need him. Not sure about Cavs.

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 08:54 PM

Yep, really like the Wright pick for Toronto.

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 08:56 PM

I like Justin Anderson for the Mavs too.

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 08:59 PM

If Thibodeau was still in town, Hollis-Jefferson would've been the perfect Bulls pick.

murrayyyyy · 06-25-2015, 08:59 PM

Well shit, he's a Bull. better than going to Portland.

nol · 06-25-2015, 09:06 PM

R.J. Hunter would be a really good value for the Cavs.

murrayyyyy · 06-25-2015, 09:08 PM

Anyone take Tyus Jones from Duke yet? Might be fit for Cavs playing 1 and 2.

jbergey22 · 06-25-2015, 09:17 PM

I found the interview with Towns funny at the beginning of the night. Calling him the face of the franchise when they have last years ROY on their roster.

I think the Lakers got a great player in Russell but I am just wondering how they could pass on Okafor when it seems to have some promising players at guard while their frontcourt seems pathetic. ???

Arles · 06-25-2015, 09:17 PM

Suns, who were close to last in 3 point shooting, got a 6-6 SG who is the best shooter in the draft. Not too bad - now if they can trade Bledsoe for a solid 3/4...

mckerney · 06-25-2015, 09:19 PM

Tyus Jones to Minnesota!

nol · 06-25-2015, 09:20 PM

Tokoto from UNC would be an interesting 2nd round flier for one of the 76ers' picks. Cliff Alexander could be a bargain in the 2nd round. Frazier from Florida could be a sorely-need shooter for a contending team. Other than that, not too excited about anyone else left.

This most likely hinged on them being confident they'll sign Aldridge.

So which combo guard who can defend but not hit 3s will the Celtics take now?

Delon Wright

Nevermind I see hes gone LOL!

murrayyyyy · 06-25-2015, 09:38 PM

well, the Lakers did have a good draft going on... this guy was late 2nd talent.

Can they draft both of the Harrison twins with one pick?

Yup, Hard to believe they would take him over Harrell or Mickey!

murrayyyyy · 06-25-2015, 09:42 PM

Don't get me wrong, I like Nance but they run a horribly slow offense at Wyoming and he missed a lot of time with mono I think. Considering injuries he had over the past few year I'm lost here.

jbergey22 · 06-25-2015, 09:45 PM

Funny looking shot for this RJ Hunter! Martin is a great comparison.

murrayyyyy · 06-25-2015, 09:48 PM

Lol, my 5 years old just walked in the room and commented, what the hell is wrong with RJ Hunter's shot.

miami_fan · 06-25-2015, 09:51 PM

I forgot all about the Shield wrestling entrance aspect of the NBA draft.

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 10:08 PM

Looney to Golden State is a good selection at #30, although medical reports make it sound like he could fall apart at any second.

stevew · 06-25-2015, 10:11 PM

I guess the Cavs didn't want a guaranteed contract,?

bhlloy · 06-25-2015, 10:11 PM

Not a bad pick at all for the Warriors at 30, they'll have plenty of time to stash him and let him develop (and work out any injury issues he has)

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 10:13 PM

The real loser of that first round is probably the Maine Red Claws. Those Boston guards are going to be launching three-point bricks all NBDL season-long.

miami_fan · 06-25-2015, 10:14 PM

I like the squad Flip Saunders has put together in Minnesota.

Looks like saving $ was more important right now, but I'd like to see them at least do what the Spurs did and draft Milutinov and keep him overseas. He's a better prospect than this Osman - an athletic wing who can't shoot and has a bad shooting motion, because they aren't a dime a dozen or anything.

stevew · 06-25-2015, 10:18 PM

Yeah he sounds like that shitty African guy they took several years ago.

If Rubio can stay on the court, they are going to be a really fun team to watch. Potential is there to be an amazing defensive squad, too.

I kinda think Pek is the odd man out right now, as Dieng's shot blocking and mobility probably makes him a better option to team with Towns, although he needs more consistency.

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 10:20 PM

dola

Rakeem Christmas is another solid pick by Minny.

Arles · 06-25-2015, 10:22 PM

I'm shocked the 76ers took an overseas guy who won't come over for a few years. Guess they didn't want to increase that massive $28 mil team cap number they have for next season.

Groundhog · 06-25-2015, 10:22 PM

Christmas going to the Cavs maybe? I like it if so.
