2016 Draft Talk

[eathb_au]

Well, we now have the 3 biggest mock drafters (DraftExpress, NBADraft, Chad Ford/ESPN) predicting Bender at 7 to Denver.

And you know what? That excites me.

Chad Ford must have changed his today because it now has Bender going sixth. What's really bizarre is he has Denver taking Brown with Hield going #8. That seems weird.

Chad Ford also has J.Murray going third while the other two have him going sixth.

It's 4 days till draft, is there some kind of a list where we can see all players we worke out and will work out in next days(will there be any workouts ? what Top10 players worked out for us?)

These are the players, haven't found anything on who we liked and who we didn't

Thank you, just wanted to see what prospects we worked out that we could draft with our picks...It looks like we didn't work out a lot of Top10 prospects because they all think they will be drafted before #7?

Sometimes teams don't work out a guy because:
he's been well-scouted.
they got a good read at the draft combine.
they don't expect he'll be available.
he didn't want to workout for them (or his agent didn't want it).
he's got an injury.
and maybe just because sometimes things happen.
P.S. I might have missed some.

TC did the same thing last year. They don't work out guys they want with their first pick because they don't want to tip off other teams about who they are thinking about taking.

Every player they worked out is in play for the their later two firsts.

Green Room invitees: Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram, Jamal Murray, Kris Dunn, Dragan Bender, Marquese Chriss, Buddy Hield, Jaylen Brown, Dejounte Murray, Domantas Sabonis, Henry Ellenson, Jakob Poeltl, Skal Labissiere, Malachi Richardson, Deyonta Davis and Wade Baldwin IV.

If my math is right, that's 16 men. I'm betting at least one slips to #19. If the Nuggets get 3 of those 16, I think I'm rather happy.

I don't see the Nuggets keeping/using all 3 picks. Probably keep the 7 then trade the others or draft & stash overseas
