The 2017 NBA Draft Thread

[DCZards]

There are so many intriguing players that may be around late, Morris, Mason, Dorsey, Brooks, Keane, Hart, Karnowski, and others. I think it would hard to pick a bust, but if anyone could its EG.

I agree. There's going to be some (maybe 3) eventual NBA starters picked late.

I like Hart, Morris, Young, and I'm thinking Mason is going to be surprisingly good.

Mason has looked really good this season, shooting 50% from 3. He's putting up better numbers than De'Aaron Fox.

Mason has been very impressive...he was again tonight helping Sac beat N.O. But when comparing him to Fox it should be noted that Mason is four years older and has 4 years of college experience compared to one for Fox. I think Fox is going to be a star.

True. Mason was a 2nd round pick though so it's a good return on investment for them. Maybe Sacramento has a knack for drafting small point guards (like IT in 2011).

Juwan Evans looks pretty good, too.

Would be nice to even have a guy like Swanigan with such an aging front court. He hasn't done a damn thing but he's youth on the bench.

Interesting that both OG Anunoby and Kyle Kuzma would have been available if we didn't have to trade our pick to dump Nicholson...

Yup, that's why I've been whining about Kuzma being so good. He'd be a real nice fit here.

I'm really focused on two guys so far where we'll likely pick. Josh Hart & Isaiah Hartenstein. Hart has been balling since his freshman year. He's complete lock to be a solid rotation player IMO. A can't miss type as long as the team that drafts him doesn't give up on him as he makes an initial adjustment to this level.

Hartenstein is all upside. He's a legit 7-0 with a nice frame, excellent athleticism and the rough draft sketch of a stretch 4 skillset. His level of raw physical ability is pretty impressive. We desperately need some youth up front with Gortat getting older and Morris still capable of doing Chief Kieff type things. I also love Leaf but I think he'll be long gone by the time we pick if he comes out.

My ideal scenario now is to use the 2018 1st while keeping the 2017 pick to add to our shallow talent base.

Got to check out Hartenstein.
