2016 NBA Draft/College Basketball Thread

[Negrodamus]

Murray is nowhere near as a passer close to Manny and DLo, he is a crafty scorer that can create, but he is more Brandon Knight than any of those.

Interesting, as I think Knight will end up better than both Mudiay and Russell.

Get a good look at the top 2016 prospects:

Jamal Murray is a special scorer. The guy just knows how to get buckets.

I really want Ingram. As cliche as it sounds, he reminds me a lot of Durant with his shooting, ball handling, and ability to get to the rim with his length.

Is there any chance Jalen Brunson declares for the draft in 2016?? he just committed to Villanova and looks like exactly the type of player we would want as a Jersey native.. insane body control and playmaking ability.. not many top PG prospects in next years draft

He is cold blooded. We don't need a tradition point guard with our low post big man. We need a scoring threat who can set up the offense ,penetrate and hit the open three.

I want Ingram more than any prospect I wanted in 2015 going into the year. Ingram's game...his wingspan...everything...so good.

Jamal Murray AND Brandon Ingram. Make it happen, Sam!

Jamal Murray/Nik Stauskas/Brandon Ingram/Jahlil Okafor/Nerlens Noel
with Joel Embiid, Dario Saric, Robert Covington, and Jerami Grant coming off the bench.

It is certainly possible, you could get a PG for the bench like Demetrius Jackson with Miami's pick and a stash euro with OKC's

I'm excited to see how Jackson does this year with Grant out of town.

Don't forget about Melo Trimble.

I said it in another thread, Jamal Murray is going to take UK deep in the tourney.

I'm on the Jamal Murray hype train.

Who do you guys think is better between Murray vs the 2nd overall pick, Russell?

I think Murray is as good as a shooter than D'Angelo at HS. While having better skills than D'Angelo, more because of his ambidextrous dribbling ability and seems to drive more than Russell.

For now, I see Murray more of a bigger and better shooter version of Tony Parker.

Isaiah Briscoe vs. Jamal Murray vs. Kris Dunn

Can anyone do a breakdown and compare strengths vs weaknesses for me? Maybe throw in some measurables and/or commentary/opinion of how each player would benefit the Sixers rebuild plan?

Jamal Murray AND Brandon Ingram. Make it happen, Sam!

I'm completely behind this. Ingram has been my guy for the 2016 draft and adding a scorer like Murray at the point would be sensational. Silly as it may be, Murray is going to get knocked because of his short arms leading up to the draft.

WOW. Man, if the Sixers walked out of the 2016 draft with Simmons, Newman, and Briscoe, with a shooter in Hield....

That would be an epic epic draft. Simmons/Okafor are the pieces you build around. Briscoe is a true PG, Newman a complementary scorer, and a deep bench of talent too.

I would reach to make sure we get Briscoe.. he seems like the type of guy that would make the game way easier for Nerlens and Jahlil, especially if we have shooters on the wing... to get him as our 3rd pick would be ridiculously awesome

Blah. Don't like Newman or Briscoe.

Aren't you guys worried about Simmons' length? Well for me his 6'11 wingspan and 8'7" standing reach is short for me. He's got good shoulder height, athleticism and good skillset/IQ though..

Somewhat, worried about his shooting as well. Fellow top '16 prospect Jaylen Brown can't shoot either.
