2016 draft thread: Part 2

That would be so crazy if it goes 3. Brown 4. Chriss. The wolves would have the option of Bender/Dunn/Muray/Hield? That's insanity

It really feels like it's going to be one of the funniest draft nights in a while. It's a day that I look forward to every year, but even more so this time.

I have a feeling a lot of people on these boards are going to be really disappointed with both Simmons and Ingram. People want to knock Wiggins for how "passive" he is, but if you watch Simmons play the guy is completely passive in the half court and on defense. For as quiet as Wiggins is, go watch Ingram's interview with the Lakers on youtube. That guy can barely go three words without an "ugh." The top two of this draft has gotten very overrated. I think people got so obsessed with the comparisons to Lebron and Durant and let it cloud their judgement.

Agreed Simmons is a head case :noway:

and lets face it what Aussie lottery player doesn't disappoint in the league?

I am starting to feel really good whoever the TWolves select between Murray,Hield and Dunn. I think all three will be good, I just hope we get lucky and end up with the best of the three ,who will be an important piece to a future championship team.

I think I wrote the same thing on the Phx board this weekend. If Bender is available at 4 and the Suns pass, I'm not gonna be happy.

The spacing on that Philly team would almost make us look like the Warriors

Let's not forget they also have 24 and 26. Lots of shooters at the end of the draft.

Dunn - Valentine - Simmons - Saric - Embiid

The passing would be something. Covington + Noel off the bench as defensive-energy guys.

I think the 3 for Okafor makes a lot of sense for both sides. Kinda feel like Philly is going to balk on the deal cuz they dont want to trade Okafor to their division rival especially with Embiid's health and Noel's questionable development. I wouldn't blame them, Okafor seems like the guy who would drop 40 on them every time they played and **** on them every time he got the chance.

I want D'Angelo for #5. He's better than anyone at that pick and Lakers are in love with Hield

I want D'Angelo period.

Probably by favorite guard right now outside of Rubio and Zach.

Because I think Adam Silver is going to make a joke on every pick, probably related to the player's height, attire, or the crappy situation some of them are going to be in depending on who drafts them. I thought that much was obvious...

Funny, entertaining, interesting, whatever you want to call it. This is a very open draft with plenty of unknowns, a good list of interesting projects throughout the first round and a bigger chance than usual at seeing some trades involving teams with high draft picks, whether something finally happens or not.

NikolaPekovic · Post #1496 » by **NikolaPekovic** » Tue Jun 21, 2016 9:02 am

I just want Bender. I don't buy this **** on how GM"s are souring on him. He has been on the draft radar for years.

7'. Mobile. Plays with effort and grit. Has passing and shooting potential. Imagine having this guy defend the pick and roll while KAT defends the rim? He's the perfect role player 4 man in between Wiggins and KAT.

Hoping our FO is just sending smokescreens.

Welsch also apparently said that Bender was horrible in workouts overseas and will not be going to the Celtics if they keep the 3.

The Suns are still in the way.

Dunn wants MN. Murray wants MN. I don't know how to handle this. It's the bizarro NBA. The KAT/Thibs effect.
