Each Team Needs Thread

[patman52]

I was thinking it would be helpful for fans of each team to post their team's needs for the draft to help putting mocks together.
Something like this?

For the Celtics:
1. Center with rim protection potential
2. SF that can get his own shot off
3. Taller combo guard

[Dcebucks11]

Bucks:
1. Point Guard - One than can shoot and is decent at the pick and roll
2. Center - One that plays a little defense, Monroe is terrible at protecting the rim

[No-Man]

Well this is easy more or less,

Atlanta; swingmen
Boston; scoring SF/PF, C with rim protection
Brooklyn; PG, shooting swingmen
Charlotte; PF/C with star potential
Chicago; back-up PG, better rotation at the wings
Cleveland; SF/PF with defensive versatility
Dallas; bigs
Denver; SF/PF that can interchange with Gallinari, shooters
Detroit; back-up wings
Golden St.; potential Ezeli replacement, a combo-guard
Houston; back-up PG, PF floorspacer
Indiana; SF/PF that can interchange with George
LAC; back-up PG, starting SF
LAL; shooters at every position, ideally a SF
Memphis; potential Lee and Green replacements that are shooters
Miami; a PF to move Bosh to C, shooters
Milwaukee; PG is the biggest need, better shooters, a PF/C next to Giannis
Minnesota; PG/SG is the biggest need, likely a swingmen that can shoot and maybe move Wiggins to the PF in the future
New Orleans; SF/PF that can change positions, attack, space the floor and allow Davis to play C sometimes
New York; future PG, better depth
Orlando; rim protector, back-up PG
Philadelphia; better wings+shooters, depth
Phoenix; SF/PF that can interchange with Warren, shooters
Portland; SF/PF with star potential, C
Sacramento; starting caliber PG; floorspacer PF or another swingmen and move Casspi to the 4 permanently
San Antonio; future Ginobili replacement, defensive minded Guard
Toronto; future starting PF
Utah; PG, better depth at the wings
Washington; PF/C for the future, back-up PG

Denver; SF/PF that can interchange with Gallinari, shooters

Sounds like Henry Ellenson would be a good selection for the Nuggets. Hield might fit well too. Wilson Chandler coming back will help but we can definitely use some youth at the SF position. I like Timothe Luwawu at the HOU pick.

[Damkac]

Phoenix; SF/PF that can interchange with Warren, shooters

I would add "defenders"

[ChrisTheFuturePaul]

Well this is easy more or less,

Atlanta; swingmen

Brooklyn; PG, shooting swingmen
Charlotte; PF/C with star potential

New Orleans; SF/PF that can change positions, attack, space the floor and allow Davis to play C sometimes
New York; future PG, better depth
Orlando; rim protector, back-up PG
Philadelphia; better wings+shooters, depth
Phoenix; SF/PF that can interchange with Warren, shooters
Portland; SF/PF with star potential, C
Sacramento; starting caliber PG; floorspacer PF or another swingmen and move Casspi to the 4 permanently
San Antonio; future Ginobili replacement, defensive minded Guard
Toronto; future starting PF
Utah; PG, better depth at the wings
Washington; PF/C for the future, back-up PG

New Orleans, I think, are going to go after pure shooters. This is Gentry-ball. Maybe they go after a defensive minded C, but I'm leaning towards shooters.

[Gremz]

Pacers could theoretically go any position in this upcoming draft depending on value.

[Worm Guts]

The Wolves biggest need is PF and shooters.

Wiggins to PF?

[JDR720]

for charlotte

-starting defensive/rebounding center
-backup SF/SG
-backup PF

[Johnlac1]

The Bucks biggest need is more scoring off the bench. They do not need a pg. And the owners have to have more patience. Parker and Giannis still need time to develop.

[skywalker33]

Know DEN will be looking at the PF position as well as SG and backup PG. But with DEN also look to go BPA talent can be moved for pieces.

[Catchall]

Jazz need shooting and athleticism at the wing--e.g., Luwawu, Korkmaz, and might look at a skilled shooting big like Ellenson or possibly Maker, if they can play the 5.

[chefdan]

For the hawks.
- a wing player that can penetrate.
-Big man depth in case Horford leaves.
- a backup PG for when they inevitably trade one of Teague/Schroeder.

[GimmeDat]

Bulls - Backup PG, another wing defender, future C.

[Frank Nova]

The Bucks biggest need is more scoring off the bench. They do not need a pg. And the owners have to have more patience. Parker and Giannis still need time to develop.

They need a 3D combo guard and a rim runner center. That would complete the starting lineup. Scoring off the bench is also needed but filling out the starting lineup with better role players is clearly priority #1.

New Orleans, I think, are going to go after pure shooters. This is Gentry-ball. Maybe they go after a defensive minded C, but I'm leaning towards shooters.

Like Asik?

Part of the reason their team was terrible this year was the decline in Asik's production. I still don't seem them using the sixth pick on a big though, they won't be able to pass up whichever one of Murray, Hield or Dunn is available.

[Spens1]

Lakers:

3&D S.F (Ingram fills that nicely)
Agile center who can run the floor and is a good defender/jump shooter
