Can Kaminsky play PF?

If we're picking top 10 or 5, I like SF - Winslow.

What do you guys think of the young PF - Sabonis?

Undersized SG - James Blackmon Jr. looks like an incredible shooter.

Have my eye on C - Damian Jones as well...

He's looking really impressive so far, although the competition in WCC is far from tough. He played limited minutes in the second and third strongest basketball competitions in the world last year (Euroleague & Spanish ACB) so the NCAA is actually a huge downgrade in talent from what he's used to face. Basically from top grown men outside of NBA to boys. No wonder he's hit the ground running as a top freshman in NCAA. I doubt he's going to be a one-and-done though.

Here's a thread about him on the RealGM NCAA board:

Everyone is starting to become pretty high on Lavert. Just has a good all around game like a Iggy type.

Not as dominant defensively but better iso scoring/3 point shooting. Closer to Nic Batum than Iggy i'd say

We're #2 now. And #1 isn't even trying.

I still think we finish better than Philly, Lakers, Minnesota, Utah, NYK and maybe Boston.

I guess we're this years Bucks. A team with vets who don't play hard/smart, a couple young players that look nice, and a lot of trash in between.

Hey, if we came away with Mudiay in June, I wouldn't complain.

Let's just tank, this draft is looking nice this year.

There's no shame in trying to get a good pick this year instead of the same ol' "let's go on a 5 game winning streak at the last stretch of the year" filth that's been primarily why we're stuck in this terrible dumpster fire.

Mudiay/Winslow/LeVert/Tyus Jones/Mario Hezonja in that order.

Kelly Oubre may need 2 years of college.

If the Pistons play their cards right, we'll have a high pick in 2016 as well. If we're depending on a rookie SF, with KCP, Dinwiddie (who is going to play a major role by next season), and Drummond (three 22 year olds), we're going to be a wildly inconsistent team. That's what you get when your key core guys are all developmental guys.

We're going to lose Monroe, as we should - no way he fits well with Drummond, Smith is past his prime, Jennings and/or Augustin will be traded before or during the 2015-16 season. We won't get established stars back in trades for these guys - and if we're smart we won't go crazy in free agency - holding our powder for awhile so we can gather young assets and draft picks and keep cap flexibility.
