2013 Draft Thread 

Post#1 » by Jake0890 » Sat Dec 29, 2012 2:58 pm

I know it's early, but let's look ahead anyways.

Who do we draft? I think it's most likely we go for a PF to back up West, considering Tyler isn't very good and Pendergraph will never be anything in the NBA. Also, who goes #1?

Any predictions?

I see the need as a backup point guard. I hope Plumlee can be a four next year so I don't see that as the need unless we are unable to keep DWest. plus, I expect the quality of the point guards where we are picking to be better than the quality of the power forwards there. now if Oladipo comes out, I take him in a heartbeat.

#1 will be some one and done.

Number one will most likely be a one and done, unless Cody Zeller surprises us all and comes out after this year.

If we do go for a backup PG, some guards around where we will be picking are guys like B.J. Young from Arkansas, C.J. McCollum from Lehigh, or Marcus Smart from Oklahoma State.

As a possible 2nd round pick, how about Christian Watford? He's a long and big forward that can shoot the lights out. If he falls into the 2nd round, I don't see why we wouldn't take him.

I'm not a Watford fan.

But in the 2nd round? Just based on athleticism, I think it's a good choice. There aren't too many players worth having in the 2nd round anyway
