Lets Talk: NBA Draft!

[YogiGarebear89]

Hey guys I kinda just wanna get your thoughts on tonight's draft.

I just got a notification from Bleacher Report saying:
"Celtics Will Offer Significant Trade Package to 76ers If Jahlil Okafor Falls to No. 3"

I got extremely excited for a second but than realized the chances of this happening are slim to none. So just tell me what you think about tonight tell me who you want to see on your team at this time I'm quite of RJ Hunter, he has an excellent attitude all around and can shoot the ball! Or maybe we'll settle on Bobby Portis I'm not sure but I'm eager to find out.

Also lets talk about who you think will win the Rookie of the Year

Re: Lets Talk: NBA Draft!

I have made my mock a while ago and it's basically the same of what the best sites are saying right now.. but the draft ain't no science

KAT is the 1st pick, no doubt. Too good of a fit for Minny, they can't pass him. Remind me a lot of LMA, not a freak athlete but a guy that can really play.

Okafor could be the most nba ready right now, Lakers should pick him without even thinking, great post player but I have doubts on his defense. Should be able to improve his free throw and become a 70% shooter on the line, not that bad of a form

I saw Hezonja play live in an Euroleague game (against Olimpia Milano, my city team) and I can see the potential but is not good as they say IMHO. Good surely, but not what I saw in mocks draft. If Kelly Oubre played in Europe, the voices around him would be the same.

Potential sleepers could be Kevon Looney, Bobby Portis, Dakari Johnson, Christian Woods;
Potential busts: I'd say D'angelo Russell and Kaminsky

Rookie of the year: Okafor, no question

Re: Lets Talk: NBA Draft!

Thank you for the response! I was watching ESPN yesterday and they were actually saying D'Angelo Russell may be the most NBA ready. Well then haha!! He is most likely gonna be a 76er so hopefully he can take advantage of a tanking team haha

Re: Lets Talk: NBA Draft!

Plus the last actually talented international I've seen in a few years has been Nikola Mirotic. So it'll be interesting to see how Porzingis, Hezonja, etc. Do their rookie years

Re: Lets Talk: NBA Draft!

Hopefully we don't have a class of Jamarcus Russell's and Darko Milicic's haha

Re: Lets Talk: NBA Draft!

Don't expect anything crazy until the 10-15 range. There are always a bunch of rumors before the draft

You're very right, what team do you like?

Re: Lets Talk: NBA Draft!

If Knicks take WCS, I'm going to laugh. If team takes Kaminsky in top 10, I'm going to laugh. Orlando needs to take Porzingis or Hezonja, team needs shooting! Kings take Hezonja I'm feel sorry for him, tbh Im feel sorry for whoever Kings take, awful franchise.

Thunder is hoping Cam Payne falls to them.

Raps need to take Grant, RHJ or Anderson. Get defense

Re: Lets Talk: NBA Draft!

Im leaning towards the lakers getting russell. They can sign a big man in free agency. I dont think okafor and randle will work.

Sad to see Boozer wasn't that great and that Randle was injured. Hopefully they can turn it around whether that be through FA or The Draft

Randle has looked beastly in summer workouts. Maybe draft russell and try and sign marc gasol. Then in 2016 with kobe's contract expiring, there would be tons of cap with major free agents.

Bigs cost more on the open market as oppose to perimeter players.
