My post-draft lineup
Posted: Tue Jun 9, 2015 10:32 pm
My two favorite players are Trey Lyles and Frank Kaminsky.
I'd draft Kaminsky because it is nearly impossible to find a center that skilled. It would be easier to add an athletic PF later.
Kaminsky is not another slow Hibbert or Hansbrough. He is more of a Brad Miller. For those who doubt his defense, watch film of him dominating Purdue's Hammonds in their second matchup. Kaminsky is also the main reason Wisconsin beat the super Wildcats in the big dance.
In the second round, I'd take Ryan Boatright. He was better than Napier by far, and played lights out for the championship game. He is small, but he is quick and has a has a surprising wingspan. He is smart, tough, and he can shoot.
PG - Ryan Boatright
SG - George Hill
SF- Paul George
PF - Lavoy Allen
C- Frank Kaminsky
All of our positions 1-3 can shoot and defend. Four out of five starters would be plus defenders, and Kaminsky can certainly hold his own. Also, four out of five starters can score.
Lavoy Allen has been played out of position at C, and he would be a great stop gap PF.
I am getting tired of one way players who have no offensive feel at all. Especially the bigs. Mahinmi and Soloman Hill are great defenders, but complete liabilities on the other end. Allen fits this category as well, but he is very smart on the offensive end, and would eventually be a great backup. Also, I think this run and gun stuff with Paul George at the PF is nuts.
