if we came out with oladipo and Giannis i'd be STOKED.

Heck, I might even take him with our first pick. I'm guessing he's going to shoot up the draft boards fast (remember Biyombo's rise?).

After the three SGs and Noel, no one else really intrigues me. Unless we get lucky (lottery) balls, we'll be picking 7-10 and those four will likely be gone.

Whoever is the pick, they likely won't have a major immediate impact anyways, so might as well go with the kid who has the most upside.

Milicic was really good too. I wouldn't pick him with a top-10 pick. Memphis pick sure but I could see the Thunder grabbing him with the Raptors pick.

I really hope Doug McDermott slides down to our MEM pick range

The Jimmer of PFs? I don't think we'll have to worry about him not being available at the Memphis pick.

He could be a good backup if we trade Dwill to move up in the draft, even if we dont I feel he is better than Hummel and/or Bjelica. Jimmer never shot as consistently and as accurate to what he has shot from 3 this and last season. It would be nice to see what he could learn defensively from AK.

I'm certain the pick gets traded unless mn ends up in the top 3 or they fall in love with one of the sg prospects.

We probably end up with #4-7 range and trade it to phx for dudley and maybe a pick swap lal for mem pick. resign pek, bud, swap out rid + roy for something lame.

The bad thing is I think there are some real value players in the 4-7 range for guards and this Giannis looks legit too. The competition isnt good and his form is god aweful, but crazy potential

McClemore is going haywire. 34 points on 13 shots.

Watching Cauley-Stein for the first time. Two minutes in, I'm sold.

I wouldn't shed any tears if we ended up with WCS & moved on from Pek.

Even if we draft Cauley-Stein we should keep Pek.

Gonna watch him myself now, but what is his deal? He looks really thin, and he is horrible from the FT line.

McLemore really did some damage today. He seems incredibly well suited for our team.

Gophers doing okay today. :lol:

What if Pek nets us a SG?

Maybe but I don't know that we can count on a sign and trade. I'm also concerned that Cauley-Stein might not be ready to contribute right away. He's pretty thin and he seems to have trouble holding on to the ball.

Have been watching the Kentucky game, and I can't say I share your enthusiasm for Cauley-Stein. Not a good passer, horrible FT shooter, thin frame, not setting good screens and looks as if he has bad hands. I get that he has great length, good athleticism and speed, but he is going to get pushed around in the NBA anyway. Especially when he is shooting 37% from the FT line.

Not that I think we will be drafting in that area anyway. I think we will be closer to 3rd than 10th.

I like him too, I decided to join your thread on rookies cause my form seems to cling to ope we won't make the pick ours or we'll make the PO's. What do you guys think of him? Will he declare?

Someone said he reminds them of Daniel Orton...Yikes

would you guys trade Meyers Leonard for your pick if it's 8 or 9?

Heck no. Especially because you don't trade lottery picks to rivals.

McLemore was on fire last night. He needed that after some lackluster games. If he can pull off one of those games again during the NCAA tournament he'll stake a claim for a definite top-3 pick.
