Less than a week to go: who would you draft?

TwolvesFanRome · Post #81 » by **TwolvesFanRome** » Mon Jun 20, 2016 9:58 pm

I change my pick about twenty time per day... :banghead:

My last idea is Murray or Hield...Sg with easy points on his hand...I don t know why...

I went Hield. Shooting is a huge need and Buddy can shoot the lights out. Murray wouldn't disappoint me. I'd have a real problem picking between drafting one of those two and trading for D'Angelo Russell, though. I don't know what we'd do with Dunn unless the front office really wants Rubio to go.

Bender scares me. Like, Nicoloz Tskitishvili scary.

I definitely like his offensive versatility.

I wouldn't be that disappointed by Ellenson if Murray and Bender are off the board. I'd prefer Dunn, but Ellenson reminds me of a bigger, dumber Love.

So Enes Kanter?

More perimeter oriented than Kanter.

I think we end up with Murray or Brown

In order of preference depending on availability:

Bender
Murray
Trade

Buddy Hield please!

Krapinsky · Post #89 » by **Krapinsky** » Tue Jun 21, 2016 2:29 pm

I could honestly see us taking Dunn, Hield, Brown, or Murray at this point. I don't think we'll take Bender or Chriss because Thibs is chomping at the bit and will want someone that can make an impact right away.

This offseason has not even started yet, but I'm already losing patience

It just like well written drama: Thibs, Butler, Noah, Deng, Dunn rumors everywhere, secret workouts etc

I'm not sure if this an actual phrase or just a translation thing, but I love it. I picture someone with a bunch of points on his fingers and he just has to flick them out when he needs them.

Yeah it's a translation thing from italian basket glossary to point out a player who has strong offensive skills and can give a lot of ppg beyond the other skills..

I don't know if I was clear now :oops:

Murray reportedly wants to play with us

I love me some Dunn and Murray...but I'll go Bender.

Dunn/Murray would be my clear cut choices if not for one specific thing holding them back from being elite prospects. Murray...his defense. Dunn...his chaos.

To me, Bender represents upside AND safeness while also having the type of length to be a mismatch nightmare. His upside may not be as high as Murray or Dunn, but his floor is a lot higher imo.

If he can be anything like a better shooting version of AK-47, that'll be huge for this team.

Oh don't worry, it was clear what you meant. It was just phrased in a way I hadn't heard before.

I still don't have a strong preference. If you want someone you can play real minutes right away, I think you take Buddy or you trade back into the teens for a guy like Valentine or Prince (who is my personal 'guy' in the draft that I think is going to be really good). If you aren't comfortable that any of them are going to be ready for significant PT, I think you go for one of the PF's, Chriss or Bender, and patiently develop them into the player you want between Wiggins and Towns.

Apparently Valentine has pretty serious knee issues like Brandon Roy.

Murray or Buddy.

No way to I worry about short cutting it to the playoffs next year. If Bender is there you take him and run. Waiting two years for him is nothing.

Having another guard in Murray or Heild would be great, but we then have to deal with who starts etc. One may want out.

You take the position of need, let bender back up Deing, B jelly, for the upcoming season and perhaps the next, from there he will be ready. We are not expecting him to be a monster inside so his size should not matter too much.

Bender just makes too much sense for this team.

In Doogies podcast he still says there's 4 guys were considering and he thinks they are Dunn, Murray, Bender, and Buddy. He knows there's 4 guys and he's 100% positive that Murray and Dunn are 2 of them. Less positive on the other 2 between Buddy, Bender, Brown, and Chriss. He says from Browns camp doesn't get the sense that we will pick him though. With Thibs stress for shooting he has a hard time believing Fords report that we've crossed Buddy and Bender off our list.

If available, who's your favorite at #5?
