2019 NBA Draft

[MettaWorldPanda]

Wow, that is not good at all. Look how far Robert Williams fell and that sounds worse this his scenario. If your understanding of the game is bad, you got to be at least a coachable character kid.

Jalen McDaniels also dealing with a character situation

Naw I do not think that makes him a bad character. These kids today for the past 5 years are recording sex all the time. That just the era they are in, its a on going issue for parents with kids in highschool in general today. From the research I have done on him, the coaching staff and teammates love him. It may hurt his stock a tad bit. But if he hasnt shown its on going issue after he got in trouble with it. I doubt teams will weigh that heavy for it.

I agree. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. Just wanted to point out that's it's lingering.

The 10 biggest factors i'm looking at when analyzing the prospects :

How about Ignas Brazdeikis?

1. height (and length) for position - no more undersized players fighting uphill. 6'7" with a 6'10" wingspan. Check!
2. draft age - no seniors. Freshman! Heck yeah.
3. points per 36 - no passive players. 20 points a game per 40? Not bad!
4. FT rate - no soft settling players. 6 FTA per 40!
5. FT % - no broken jumper, its the best indicator for shooting talent. 77%!
6. 3 point attempts per 36 - no non-shooters. 5 per 40!
7. 3 point % - show at least a decent shooting touch. 42%! You on the edge of your seat yet??
8. Steals per 36 - good indicator of motor and iq. A steal per 40...will suffice.
9. high IQ - no dumb selfish guys. Dude's a basketball wizard/genius.
10. "it factor" - that feeling you get from seeing the player that he has that higher gear in him. Pretty much carrying Michigan to a top ten ranking. Freshman of the year! Woah.

I think it's settled. He's your man!

also no one that reminds me of Frank Kaminsky. .........well damn, never mind then.......

Jontay Porter is KO. Convince me otherwise.

Jontay comes from a long line of serious physical ailments. KO does not.

Seriously though, his gene pool is populated with abundant health concerns. I'd be afraid to draft him after researching his family history.

Somebody will gamble just like Denver gambling on his brother. Just dont think it will be us. Riley is going to want a player who has the chance to play right away.

Somebody certainly will. I'm not a gambler. I'll take the sure thing. I'll leave the reckless to the gambling. I'll lose every once in a while, but I'll win more often.

We need to gamble on a high ceiling player. At 15th if we are to pick a high ceiling player they are likely to come with flaws or health concerns. But I'd like us to gamble. There's no point in picking a very good role player, we've shown we can draft that player in the 2nd round or get him undrafted or in the G league. We got Duncan Robinson undrafted, I believe he'll be in the league a long time as a spot up shooter and DJJ. So why not take a risk, maybe Porter isn't that guy but I am sure there are other high risk high reward player in the draft we can look at

Jontay was never a great prospect like his brother. He was starting to make a name for himself when he got to college.

I'm not a gambler either but I'd say that the possible rewards of drafting Jontay outweighs the risks. There's not a lot of big man that can shoot 3s and pass in the NBA and those that do are usually positive contributors.

Why you goto do me like that DOM..you know my anger **** up my blood pressure

[Feel_the_Heat15]

If we had an empty roster I'd 9 times out of 10 draft Clarke but we don't and his skill set overlaps with Bam's. If we were to draft him he could become a nice future piece in a trade. Something like Richardson, Clarke, Waiters and a FRP could get us a star like Beal or Jrue.

The timing was right. I couldn't help myself.

[Heatle]

Lol at Boston picking ahead of the Heat in this draft. Terrible.

[MartyConlonJr]

What is happening with AD is good for us - NO denies him in trade to LA, he gets traded somewhere else that is not his desire and then realises by end of 19-20 season that Lebron is too old and that he can't win in LA with 2/3 or the cap space used on him and Bron. Clipps already have Kawhi and something, Knicks have Kyrie and KD. Miami can be as attractive as anyone after those few meccas if he tries FA

Then the argument of high ceiling home run picks is less important. You want more contributors that would make a superstar think he can be the man, but also have enough to win.

C - Bam Adebayo / Kelly Olynyk
PF - Anthony Davis / James Johnson
SF - Josh Richardson / ?
SG - Dion Waiters / ?
PG - Justise Winslow / ?

Getting two more contributors that are starter level or good bench players could be the difference in this and the next draft in enticing AD.

Epi dats it, expect Langford to go top 8 but hopefully something within the tournament changes that
