Glad Thomas seems to be out of the rotation, finally.

At least the refs' ineptitude has been consistent, just a **** crew tonight.

The guys need to close the game and they start nervous.

And with the second overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft....The Philadelphia 76ers select...Karl Towns from the University of Kentucky.


No thanks to Karl, move down from the 2 to the 4, and draft Stanley. Swap 13-16 Heat pick to get 9-11 with Wroten and second round picks. Use the asset we acquire for Karl and move up to 5-7 to get Russell.

PG - MCW/Filler
SG - Russell/KJ
SF - Stanley/Grant
PF - Noel/Dario/Luc
C - Embiid/Filler


Russell and Stanley may be in the top 4; Okafor, Towns, Russell, and Johnson.

Russell wont last to 5

Also turnovers, like that last one, teammates bobble these passes or don't hustle to them and he gets the turnover.

Last travelling turnover was bull, but that's just the refs.

Nah, Mudiay is rank higher than Russell due to his athleticism and upside. Mudiay is a consensus top 3 pick.

Noel is one of those players that could someday get a 5x5, but a literal 5x5, like the minimum of every stat.

If Russell keeps playing the way he is he'll go before Mudiay.

Even if he doesn't Russell or Johnson will go 5. We don't have enough to get 2 top 5 picks. If you're expecting that then you're going to be heartbroken on draft day
