2016 Draft

[saintEscaton]

Hield projects to be a more well rounded Jodie Meeks. Pass. I'd take Brown over him any day of the week

Well yeah, but that's why one is projected to go 3rd and the other 10th. This isn't really an either/or thing. A more accurate question would be Hield or Valentine, or Hield or Rabb or Diamond Stone.

I don't think we will get Pick '1 or 2. So with the third pick, i wouldn't go for a PF. Because there isn't a PF in that range, that i like. With the Washington pick, i would draft a PF, one of my favourites, Skal Labissiere.

What do you think about Labissiere?

With our 3rd pick i have no idea what to do. Because we have good young players on all the other positions.

Skal might not even declare, he looks like the typical 2 years away from being 2 years away.

I like Brown with the 3rd pick, Booker, TJ and him being our wing players in the future.

Not a whole lot of talk about Bender from any of you. Thoughts on the guy? I don't really know much about him and just wondering why no one is talking about him when we have a very real chance of picking 3rd and from most mocks I've seen he is projected there.

[MathiasPW]

You don't wanna get caught saying or writing the Bender word too often. Doesn't bode well for most straight men.

[MathiasPW]

Solution might be to call him BendHer from now on

He's definitely declaring. His guardian that brought him over from Haiti is all about profiting off of him. The dude is a complete sleaze ball. So sadly even if it is better for him to stay in college, I don't think it will really be all that up to him. Even if the dude falls off the map completely, he's still going to go just like Cliff Alexander last year

He's honestly not good at basketball. He's a mobile but not explosive 6'10 guy, so he can't make it on just athleticism. Can't box out college guards so he won't be able to rebound at all in the NBA for anytime soon. His best skill is he has a solid 15-18ft jumper. He looked great in AAU ball cause they don't play D and all they do is run up and down the court. So he looked great in that showed off his mobility and he was never guarded on his mid range jumper. But if you put a body on him, you can see he has no clue what to do

[Bogyo]

^Tks for the input. So we should only pick him up if he is available with our second round pick, basically. Maybe the Cleveland pick if we have no better idea... Intresting

[AtheJ415]

I like Dragan Bender. I'd be entirely fine taking him 3rd. I also like Dunn and wouldn't mind taking him there.

As far as our future lineup, I prefer Warren at the 3, and so I'm not a big fan of taking Jaylen Brown at the 3 spot. Ingram at 1 or 2 I'd make an exception for, but I don't feel Brown is on that level.


I don't like Skal much, but I'd be okay taking a flier later in the draft. I think there will be guys at 10 (and I do think WAS will ned up at 10), who have as much upside and less risk so I'd be surprised if we took him around there.

I doubt he lasts till the second. I also doubt he woo be there come the Cleveland pick. Most drafts he might be but this is a weak draft and I think he goes mid to late teens. But ya if he's there for the Cleveland pick, he would be good value. He doesn't rebound but he can block shots and he has potential to become a 3 point threat in a few years. Tall, mobile and with solid potential, definitely worth a late 1st round pick. Just don't expect any production from him his first couple years.

Bender is projected at 3 and a PF.

[jcsunsfan]

Not a fan of Jaylen Brown. With all his athletic advantages vs college kids he still only shoot 29% from 3 and that's backed up with 64% from FT. He also averages less than 1 steal and 1 block.

Who's the last guy like Poetl to become an All-Star? He looks like a college dominator like Zeller or Plumlee.

I like Buddy Hield as he's putting together a track record that fits a prototype of multi year guards that overperform in the NBA despite athletic question marks - Lillard, Curry, McCollum, Thompson.

Fredette?

Yup, and Bender is probably the best fit at PF for us from a playing style perspective. I don't understand why so many are down on him. Sure, there's always risk with Euro players, but he clearly has the skills to fit our scheme. His mobility and size is rare, and his improved shooting is promising.

If you want Booker to start then we need good defender at the 3. Don't see both Book and Warren starting unless at least one of them improves much on D. I don't mind using Warren as 6th man but I wish he gets lots of minutes next season.

It wouldn't suprise me if McD will take Skal with Cavs pick. Similar situation to Goodwin's.

I think McD, being the last year of his contract, will likely go for guys who are more nba ready (not raw, and perhaps not freshman), or possibly even try and package one or two of our first rounders along with a player to trade for his next "star" so we can get the 8th seed next year. If Sarver would renew his contract and not leave him in a lame duck situation like with the coach, our long term might be more secure and better decisions would likely be made for the long run, but we know that's not how things work with Sarver.

It might be too soon to give up on Warren and/or Booker's defense. There are very few young guys in this league who play good defense. It's not unusual for guys their ages to struggle defensively and become good defenders over time.

[SunsFanSSOL]

Brown would be my top option if the big 2 are not there, followed by Bender and Rabb.

Just no to Dunn.
