The 2017-18 Prediction Draft - Discussion Thread

[Laimbeer]

Sorry, I couldn't resist a well-rounded Butler/Hayward wing tandem. I like how my team is shaping up (health permitting.)

No problems.

I've got buyer's remorse on Jokic - they were more solid choices and a number of big men who could have been paired with AD.

Join the hype train. He could be utterly baller this year. Look at his shooting percentages from 10+, and his bpm. Just weak defensively.

Just did. I knew he could shoot but damn.

But why doesn't he play more minutes? Maybe that will continue to climb this season.

It will climb. His coach is trying to get him to foul less, as he picks up bad fouls from lack of familiarity with NBA rules.

Said coach also had the bright idea to start Nurkic over him at the beginning of the season, which probably cost them a playoff spot.

I had been wondering when Beal would go. I considered him in round 2.

[Dr Positivity]

Irving is pretty good value there. Could be the MVP.

Yeah, I was looking at best available and felt he was somewhat risky, but leaned more towards him being good value. I don't think he gets enough respect in these games.

Agreed. I was gonna pick him, but felt he doesn't get much respect on this board. especially since ball hogs can work well with Kawhi type players.

However, Mike Conley's 2way impact is pretty nice.

Of the Celtics?

A long shot, but I can see a scenario. MVPs are often driven by storylines. If Kyrie has a big year and the Celtics appear to have overtaken LeBron and the Cavs, I can see it happening.

You're up.

I'm removing Ness. It looks like something has come up for him that's preventing him from getting online, but whatever the case I don't see any point with three rounds already in the books.

[Jory04]

Didnt have any illusions Beal would fall to me, but seriously bummed by Booker going.

[MadNESS]

Thanks to whoever replaced me. Have a week long audit, and thought I’d have time. Sorry about that boys.

Seconded

[Dr Positivity]

I am fine with that

I'll make it the last three so people can complete their starting lineups.
