Ron Holland’s shooting numbers is very Detroit Pistons

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

This is the first draft I've watched in ten years. How boring. These players have no personality. Holland does seem like a cool kid tho.

Morey is a fat slob and an over-rated GM. Was the personal insult necessary? No but it made me feel good! If our draft picks stays with us its a bad sign. We are so far behind the Celtics and now the Knicks its depressing really.

We only have one 2nd rounder tonight, correct??

Yes we pick at #41 because Doryl is a bad GM and lost our other pick for tampering with P.J. Tucker.

[Kobblehead]

Gotta take Tyler Smith or Trentyn Flowers now at #41. This pick has to be a teenager with size and athleticism.

This draft has a movie-like storyline for Mjkvol. All year, he’s been our Dalton Knecht expert, drawing attention to Knecht for many of us. On draft day, as Knecht slides down the board, increasing the chances of him being available at our spot, we ultimately pass on him for Jared McCain. McCain, whom mock drafts projected to land with us most of the year but was often ignored for being a “boring” prospect, ended up being our choice.

I like Tyler Smith. I rank him higher than Buzelis and Holland.

I believe Smith’s overall game has a higher chance of translating to the NBA and he plays a more winning style compared to the other two.

[Kobblehead]

His jumper is way more pro-ready than the other two, but I think the other two have more all-around game and talent than Smith. Which is fine, we don't need Smith to be a star. Just be an athletic F that can stretch the floor.

Pure Shakespearean tragedy for Mjkvol.

Not to do the famous false equivalence thing, but when I see Tyler Smith, I think of (former Sixer great) Michael Foster Jr and Isaiah Todd. Why is this one going to be different?

For me, it's 100% based on his superior athleticism.

Yeah, it definitely became way more personal than analytical for me as DK slid last night, because I would never in a million years have imagined he would even be in the teens much less there at #16. As much as I detest James, he couldn't have landed in a better spot, with Redick as his coach, Davis in what should be a lethal DHO combination, and James getting him a ton of good looks.

I was envisioning going to a few Sixers games this year for the first time since ... must be the late '80's 'Thump and Bump' teams with Barkley, Mahorn, Hawkins, Dawkins, and Gminski. I loved that group.

McCain looks like he can be a microwave scorer off the bench from day one, which if he did would be more than fine for a mid 1st. He and Maxey together makes little sense, but since there really is no roster at this point, it isn't as if he's being penciled in as a starter. A bench scorer has definitely been a huge need, so if he supplies that the pick would be a success. And he's only, what, 20 years old? Hopefully he's here a long time.

Haha, it really was. I'm hoping he lands in SA or MEM at 8 or 9, and he drops into our laps.

The basketball gods having a nice laugh at my expense.

McCain was so boring that I’d skip his scouting reports because I already knew what to expect. He’s been projected around the 16th pick for a year, and every time we saw his name, we’d think, “You know what? I think it’s Johnny Furphy,” or “Maybe it’s Kyle Filipowski.” By the night before the draft, I was already okay with picking Terrence Shannon or Jaylon Tyson.

I like Filipowski, McCullar, Mogbo, Tyler Smith and Bona.

I'd rather boring and good than exciting and volatile. Brandon Jennings was extremely exciting back in the 2009 draft, but I'm sure GSW doesn't regret taking the boring upperclassman with limited athleticism.

Knecht was initially projected in the teens, and honestly, I first learned about him from you. When I saw him play, I liked his archetype and believed he could be a top 5 to top 10 pick, which I reflected in my mock draft. As he slid down the board, I had questions about him but went full YOLO in wanting to draft him. I can't remember the last time I watched the NBA draft, but this one was fun with you guys. I imagined your feelings as he slid and was available at our pick, only for us to pass him up for probably the most boring player in the draft but not necessarily not the best player available.
