stop it...zero percent chance maker wins ROY. he'll be coming off the bench, and he's still very raw.

Throne Maker could be runner up if Bucks give him enough playing time , but nobody will have any numbers close to what Simmons unleashes on the NBA.

Coming into it I thought Murray, but after really watching him, he just doesn't have the quickness. He might be a solid pro but I have Dunn a lot higher. I would have taken Dunn over Bender at four but the Suns didn't need a point guard.

I also think that Deyonta Davis, once he bulks up after a year of spot duty and yo-yoing between Memphis and the D-league.

Malcolm Brogdan with his leadership and tough D could get minutes out the gate for the fear the deer's.

I've got a lot of confidence in his IQ and passing ability, but I'm equally concerned about his ability to score and defend at the NBA level given his athletic deficiencies. We'll have to see how he goes. I think the Hield/Valentine comparisons say more about Hield than Valentine, personally.

I really like Valentine from a talent stand point and he also appears to have the right mental makeup. The biggest concern with Valentine IMO are those knees. If they aren't a problem, I can see him being a top 5-10 talent in the draft.

I think this will be a draft full of steals, and loads of 'busts'.

Malcolm Brogdan, Pattrick McCaw, Tyler Ulis, DeAndre' Bembry, Pascal Siakam, Ivica Zubac, Joel Bolomboy will all outplay their draft positions imo.

Jaylen Brown

Cheick Diallo

Guy is going to be a steal. If New Orleans tanks this year and give Diallo minutes next to AD... That duo will be too fast and athletic for most teams to deal with.

Although a 3rd overall pick can only hardly be considered as steal, taking into consideration all the criticism thrown at Ainge after picking Brown and looking at Brown´s summer league and preseason games so far, he looks like a steal compared to f.e. Ingram (same age) or Dunn (3 years older). I feel Jaylen´s gonna be a really good one.

Jamal Murray. He's a baller. Also Valentine.

Definitely think he is going to be ranked significantly higher in a redraft, if he stays healthy

Ivica Zubac scored a career-high 17 points on 8-of-9 shooting in Tuesday's 120-116 win over the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Before you do anything else, make sure this dude isn't on your waiver wire. The rookie played all but a few seconds in the fourth quarter and couldn't miss tonight, and he also hit his only free throw which bumped him up to 92.8 percent from the line this season. He finished with 21 minutes and added six rebounds and one assist, and his outlook is very promising on the tanking Lakers -- coach Luke Walton has hinted that Zubac could move into the starting lineup at some point this season. He was coming off two straight double-doubles and was a monster during the summer league, so this is no fluke.

Internationals definitely own the center position.

CalL · Post #98 » by **CalL** » Wed Feb 1, 2017 9:35 pm

1) Chriss, should have been 3rd
2) Brogdon, should have been lottery
3) Zubac, should have been lottery
4) Murray, should have easily been top 20
5) I think in a few years Zizic will be considered as a steal, so i will go for him.
...
LeVert, Whitehead, Maker, Zipser or maybe even Murray.

I noticed that too ... Embiid, (Porzingis: Not a center, but a big man as well), Gobert, Zubac, Jokic, M. Gasol. I think at all other positions most non-american/european players are just not athletic enough and most of the time they cant make up for that, but at the center position its different, european big men probably train more ballhandling/passing from a very early age.

Chriss ain't better than Bender.
