Id target McCollum since we may be able to realistically nab him.

I squandered an asset? Then Hammond taught me well.

I actually like this draft and long for a top 8 pick.
With the League going small, this draft is heavy with legit bigs.
It's a pretty deep class overall provided everyone declares. I'd just hate to be a bottom three team looking for a franchise player, because there isn't one.

Second rounder. Not a fan of his game at all.
Yet another draft where if you can get into the 7-9 range there will be a very nice player there. And yet again we'll be picking near 15.

Huge fan of Jamalal Franklin. Reminds me a lot of a poor man's Kawhi Leonard. Would love him in the 13-18 range

What do you like about him? I mean he has great athleticism and frame, and is really aggressive, but that's all he really has going for him. He can't shoot or dribble, his shot selection is bad, he's not a defender(though people project him as one with his tools), and he's not a playmaker. I just don't see his game translating at all.

I think he'll be an excellent defender and garbage man. Poor mans Leonard, Gerald Wallace etc. Just a very useful player. By no means a star but when your picking in the teens you can't expect that. I wouldn't take him top 10 but where the Bucks project to pick I think he'll be an excellent 2/3 off the bench at the very least.

And if we are drafting 8-12 I'd love Otto Porter out of Georgetown. Just does it all kind of guy. Those are my top 2 realistic targets for the Bucks. My big board as of now goes like this
1. Anthony Bennett
2. Nerlens Noel
3. Archie Goodwin
4. Alex Poythress
5. Shabazz Muhammed

As an aside, I've never watched Alex Len play so I didn't rate him.

I just can't get behind a guy who's all athleticism and still would have to learn to defend and be an effective garbage man(not to mention I don't think you learn to be that type of player). Franklin just isn't any good at those things right now and it's not really his game. I'd much rather spend a pick on a guy I know can at least do something well at the nba level right away.

It's not like he's Stanley Robinson from UConn a few yrs ago. The kid's also putting up big number vs quality opponents as their go t guy.

Has anybody watched Jordan Adams from UCLA? By my numbers, this guy is having a pretty exceptional freshman season.

But it's how he gets those numbers, that's why I don't feel he'll translate.
And Adams can straight fill it up. Incredible shooter and one of those guys who can score in every way, but he doesn't have ideal size or physique. I'd take a flyer on him though.

Really impressed with Trey Burke. He may not have the highest ceiling but a playoff team will get a solid contributor immediately imo. Reminds me of George Hill in how I believe he'll pan out. Never saw Hill in college so not necessarily comparing there games just their impact as later 1st round selections.

Everyone's favorite draft website has Minnesota's Andre Hollins as a top 10 pick in 2014. Pretty shocking. My bet is he is a 4 year player and ultimately goes late 1st round.

Looks like CJ McCollum had a pretty awesome offensive game last Saturday: 34 pts 9-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt , 10-11 FT
For the season so far his TS% is .645 and his eFG% is .595

What about Big Dog Jr. (ie. Glenn Robinson III)? Sure would be nice to have another Glenn Robinson on this roster.
We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees.

Excellent freshmen but no way he should come out right now. Has a lot of work to do. Looks like afuture 2nd round pick to me. Michigan is probably my favorite team to watch in the country.

Bucks still have some work to do and need some teams to become buyers, but Boylan is the man for the job.

I think we're gonna need a top 5, maybe top 8, pick to get a guy like Goodwin.
