2019 NBA draft part deux

Could you imagine Memphis adding Morant and Culver to go with Jackson and Valanciunis. Quickly changes their trajectory.

Looks good but too young, they will be in the lottery again next season.

PG of Teague caliber will be available for MLE money. Any team offering a lottery pick for him would be crazy. That only remarks Thibs mistake when he signed him. Even if we were trading Rubio away, we should have signed someone like Collison or Corey Joseph.

14. Boston Celtics (via Kings)

Brandon Clarke
Gonzaga
Age: 22.6

Height: 6-foot-8 | Weight: 207

With most of Boston's big men potentially hitting free agency, the frontcourt could be a real position of need for the Celtics at the draft. Clarke's versatility as a rim-protecting, pick-and-roll-switching lob-catcher is intriguing on this roster.

He will turn 23 prior to his first NBA game, and he was one of the most productive players in college basketball this past season, meaning he should be ready to step in and help right away. He also has some untapped upside left thanks to his freakish athleticism and budding shooting ability, and he doesn't need any plays called for him, making him a strong match for the existing pieces already in place.

[UnFadeable21]

3 things in that summary I would love for the Wolves: rim protecting, pick and roll switch defnder, doesn't need plays called for him.

That's what we need on this team. We already have a top 10 offense. We need defense and guys who know their roles!

Since the Sun's want a veteran pg, would Phoenix do #11 and teague for #6 and whatever else it takes to make the deal work? Coby white would be a great fit here if we could get him at #6

I was thinking they want someone high caliber PG veteran, maybe 6 for Conley.

Remember when we traded Foye and Mike Miller for #6 from the Wizards

All I can say is....

It was actually Foye/Miller for #5....we already had 6.

Ten years later, I honestly still have no idea what in the **** Washington was thinking there.

Funny that you posted from the DX mock, but failed ot mention who was pegged at #11 -- Nassir Little.

These media rankings are about as valid as any NCAA tournament bracket ... everyone has theories and opinions. It's entertaining, and over time, it seems the eye test is more reliable than the hype machines. My perception is that the game comes easy to guys like NAW ... he understands the game, know his limitations, can play off the ball, and rarely drags his team down with poor decisions, skills, effort. Star potential? no I dont see it. Long-term NBA starter? likely.

"Knows how to play the game of basketball" - check. I agree, it's an eye-ball test, subjective thing, but I totally, totally agree with you on NAW. I also see that trait in one of my other fav's - PJ Washington. Just very instinctive and knows how to play the game. Ball handling, shooting, passing, smarts. You've almost got to start with those traits in today's nba and those two have got it in spades.

I agree with all on NAW except star potential. Now if you're talking James Harden star potential, I agree but you're not getting that with anybody else either. Are you talking Covington star potential? Then i think yes. The odds of getting someone at 11 who is a homerun is very, very low. The idea is to get a good quality guy that can start at an area of need. We have our star in Towns. NAW is a combo guard like Jamal Murray except a little taller and a better defender. If I got Jamal Murray out of this draft at 11 I would be overjoyed.

BTW, I wanted Murray but we took Dunn instead because Dunn had the "potential". If I could be more sarcastic I would.

Clarke scares me because he's a man without a position. He's Derrick Williams like. Derrick was a helluva athlete too but couldn't jump as high. Derrick Williams was my last big draft mistake. I learned a lesson from that. He was 6'9" 235 with a 7'0" wingspan and he was a bust. Clarke is 6'8" 215 with a 6'8" wingspan, and he can't shoot. Why do you want to gamble on that? Taking flyers on "potential" turns you into a losing franchise. Just look at Wolves picks year after year.

NAW is a safe quality pick that fits here and he very easily might be much better than many of you think.

BTW, Now that I've had my say on NAW, I see PJ Washington much the same way but he's more raw. He's a really solid pick at PF. He needs to be a little bit better defender and low post player but he has the talent ability to get there. I love those Kentucky guys. Cal has a freaky knack for pro talent.

[Klomp]

Washington is a guy I don't see the high upside for. I see someone who can be very solid, but not flashy. I think Taj Gibson is his max upside. The Kentucky factor is the only thing that makes me think I could be wrong about that.

[GeekFreak]

I wish the draft were here already, I'm getting a grade 4 erection just thinking about it!

Me neither. That was Flip wasn't it? Then we passed on Steph!

[Crazy-Canuck]

Clarke loves to rim run on transactions, cuts and dives to the rim, and catch lobs; all passes that teague cant make on a regular basis.

hes going to to be an offensive mess his first year if we draft him and he has to play with teague. But his defense might more than make up for it down the line.

Flip was the head coach but not the general manager, whatever it’s worth.
