Top Three Guys we Have a Shot at In Order:

Epke Udoh: I think he fits really well at the power forward position for us. He can hit the midrange jumper, block shots, and face up. He's a guy who needs to work on his lower body before he becomes the defender I think he will be, but I really like his versatility.

Patrick Patterson: Much like Udoh, I think he fits very well. There are question marks that surround his defense and ability to create shots for himself, but he's athletic, he can hit the midrange jumper, and he can run the floor which is something that would do very well for Brandon Jennings.

Paul George: I think he's still very much learning how to play the game, but he's shown to be pretty versatile and he's got the physical tools to excel. I think his upside at the wing position is higher than any one else in this draft, and that includes Turner. We need athleticism on the wing and he's it. The jumpshot is a bonus.

Guys I want No Part of:

Xavier Henry: I just don't see an all around basketball player. I see a spot up shooter who will be an average to slightly above average defender. I just don't see any reason get excited about the guy. He's got an NBA ready body, but I don't think he's got any other particular skills (besides shooting) that translate to the NBA.

Hassan Whiteside: I think he's dumb as a box of rocks, and I think he thinks he's much better than he actually is which means when on the floor, I think he'll try to do too much at times which will hurt the team. In addition to that, I think a hard nosed coach like Skiles will completely break his confidence and shut him down as a player. He's a body, that's it IMO.

[Douggystyle29]

1. Patterson- I think he will be a solid starter in the NBA. I Like his adaptability. Smart, physical player. Would fit in perfectly on our team. Will be gone before 15.
2. Udoh- He would complement Bogut nicely. He would bring much needed shot blocking and rebounding. Good passer, who could play some backup center also.
3. Henry- His 3 point shooting would be a nice addition to our team. Young and plays good defense.
2nd round
1. Art Parakhouski- I think he is going to be a solid backup center for somebody with his scoring and rebounding.
2.John Scheyer-Will be a good bench player in the NBA. He will add scoring and some good outside shooting to a team.

Stay away from
1-Hayward
2-Whiteside
3-Orton
I would like to see a draft day trade with the T-wolves for Al Jefferson. (If a pf we want is not available.

[Nebula1]

I have put no time into researching the picks this year, but I watched some college ball.

I'd like Udoh for our pick range. Don't know anything about George, but he seems pretty popular on the board. Not a huge fan of Patterson, but again, I haven't done the DD.

Xavier Henry seems like Allan Houston or something. Obviously could help the team, but I'd rather see a big.

I'll just wait and see how the Draft washes out and go from there.

[Nowak008]

Love:
Davis
Babbitt- I think he is going to be a very good player for a long time.
Whiteside- Too many tools not to be at least a solid back up for many years. Skiles being the coach makes me confident

Happy
Hayward- Saw a solid starter during the tourney
Aldich- Would be a good addition to the front court.

Ok
George
Patterson
Udoh

Not happy
Bradley
Henrey
Orton

I want our team to get more athletic, but outside of Wes and Amnu I don't like any of the "upside" wings.

[Sauce Boss]

I would like to see a draft day trade with the T-wolves for Kevin Love. (If a pf we want is not available.

Fixed**

[trwi7]

2.John Scheyer-Will be a good bench player in the NBA. He will add scoring and some good outside shooting to a team.

Excuse me. That is not his name. His name is the white PG from Duke.

[milweskee]

Great: Patterson, George, Davis, Henry

Good: Udoh

So-so: Bradley, Whiteside

Best 'reach': Sanders, Orton, Seraphin

NO: Babbitt, Hayward, Anderson

[SupremeHustle]

This is a good place to put my "Whiteside will have a Ryan Leaf type meltdown before his career is over" prediction.

[Sauce Boss]

2.John Scheyer-Will be a good bench player in the NBA. He will add scoring and some good outside shooting to a team.

Excuse me. That is not his name. His name is the white PG from Duke.

[Douggystyle29]

Not gonna lie, I think Love would be better to get. I just think we got a better shot at Jefferson. Yah and oops, the white PG from Duke LOL.

[MikeIsGood]

I want Paul George. I'd like to see someone like Ed Davis or Ekpe Udoh fall, but I don't think it's going to happen. If they did, I prefer Davis to Udoh but like both.

[pasting_monkeys]

Guys I'd love to have drop to us

1. Udoh - plays both ends very well, very versatile - high skill level
2. Babbitt - elite scorer
3. Patterson/ George - Can't decide which one I like better ; Patterson is a sure thing, and will be a solid starter does a lot of things well and has legit PF size - George is less of a sure thing but has great size and is a great athlete, good shooter too, a lot of upside.
5. Henry - Plays well on both ends, does all the little things, defender and shooter, question marks on his ability to get to the basket. NBA ready body, high character guy, coachable.

Guys I want nothing to do with:

1. Whiteside - Poor mans Deandre Jordan
2. Hayward - Doesn't possess one elite skill, average athlete, will be a defensive liability against most SF's - a shorter, worse shooting Mike Dunleavy

[worthlessBucks]

Ideally we trade down and gamble with 2 guys in the 20s.

Like at 15:
1. Patterson - likely gone
2. Babbitt - likely gone
3. George - likely gone
4. Aldrich - Assuming he fell, great Bogut insurance once he has his yearly injury.
5. Whiteside - the few, the proud..the Whiteside 'ceiling fans'

Meh:
1. Bradley - The Westbrook comparisons might be pretty high, Bradley is going to be more of a shooting combo card rather than one who attacks the rim. More athletic Charlie Bell?
2. Udoh - Solid contributor right off the bat, but he could be a finished product already. Bench big down the line? Very respectful and engaging in the interviews I saw, probably one of the better human beings in the draft.
3. Henry - Underwhelming at Kansas, only 19 though with a good physique. So he gets the meh. I'd prefer to trade down for one of the other 2 guards.
4. Orton - Haven't seen enough of him really.

Don't want
1. Hayward - Seen him enough in the Horizon League to think that he'll be nothing more than a complementary piece even at his ceiling. I dream big. I wouldn't mind him in the 20s if we trade down, but not at 15.

Trade down (gamble on 2 from the group).
1. Sanders
2. Seraphin
3. Bledsoe
4. White
5. Brackins
6. Stephenson
7. Anderson

[BDUB_30]

1. Ekpe Udoh- this is my guy in this draft. I think hes going to be a great pro, love his body mixed with quality athletism. Has great mobility, some intial stages completed on his offensive development.

2. Paul George- dude gets buckets and hes athletic..Like his length and he without a doubt has real two position potential. Love that versaility when your 2 can play up on any given night with zero drop off....



I would be extremely happy with either guy.



Do not want Hayward. I think alot of us want a guy to come in and make some kind of year one impact, and i think hayward does NOTHING in year one. I understand hes scrappy and tough but theirs a huge diffrence being scrappy and tough against people your age and people 10 years older. His scrappyness and toughness will translate to a fly bothering a rhino in the pros. I dont see him making a smooth transition at all. I mean i can honestly say i will be bummed out if this is the pick.

[Baddy Chuck]

Want

Luke Babbitt
Gordon Hayward
Xavier Henry
Ekpe Udoh
Hassan Whiteside

[4xBuck]

Like


1- George: Best talent that the Bucks can get at 15. Excellent athleticism, size & all around game. Only complaint is an average handle.

2- Davis: Great defensive combo with Bogut- The Bucks would get a ton of rebounds & blocks from their starting post players.

3- Babbitt: Real good all around wing with length & is an average to good NBA athlete.

4- Patterson: With better length than I originally thought & a decent 3pt shot he developed overnight, he'd be a real good pick at 15

5- Henry: Great size & basketball IQ. Good shooter & defender. An average athlete( which is better than I originally thought)... If Salmons doesn't resign, I'd like him as the pick--- not so much with Salmons.


Dislike


1- Hayward: Love his attitude. But, he's a poor athlete & has awful length-- that's a real bad combo... His "special" BB IQ is also way over rated by some on this board.

2- Udoh: Think he'll bust out... Age & other peripherial factors don't favor him.
