Official Speculation Thread Pt.LXII

I'll be surprised if Randle doesn't go number one

Really, with all the hypes around Wiggins?

After a full year of college we'll know if the hype is justified. Randle has shown it is so far, Wiggins has not, yet.

The ONLY worry I have about Randle is, his biggest asset is his size/strength , he is always playing against inferior defenders.
I'm not sure he could push players like J-max, Horford, Monroe, etc.. around, I'd like to see a bit more of him.

PGs and Wings are what I'm interested in. Smart had a decent game. shot 40% from 3, had 9 steals and only 1 TO.

Don't sleep on Aaron Gordon. 14pt 10rb 1blk 2ast shooting 6/8. I think he's one that could really surprise this year. He's got good handles for a big and some crazy athleticism and defensive instincts.

When you consider how deep this draft is, the tank v no tank isn't as big an issue. You could land a star anywhere in the top 10 IMO.

I think it could be better than 2003, but not sure if you could land a star anywhere in the top 10. I think our ideal scenario would be having one pick in the top 5 and one pick in the top 13 (NYC/DEN) pick.

Jameer has to be traded, we're not going to know if Oladipo is a PG or SG until he starts playing more than 20 mpg. It'll definitely add losses as well, which is a win / win

Trading Jameer has no baring on whether or not Oladipo turns into a PG. If he's going to become a PG then it'll happen naturally more minutes wont change that. Right now he doesnt look anything like a PG and I personally dont think he ever will be a full time PG.

Well, Wiggins and Parker both looked good and put up decent numbers.

Kasey Hill looked awful and shot like 2-11. Awful.

Parker was very impressive. People say he has bad athleticism but I saw him get up there for that one handed lob like it was nothing.

My issue with parker physically is that he has the type of body that can put on weight quick.

Parker reminds me of Glenn Rice a lot.

that's how I feel, you can get a franchise guy in the top 3 but from 3-10 you could get some all-stars and stars(there is a difference to me)

With 9th pick, we take Smart after he drops. With 3rd pick, we take Parker.

That..that would be beautiful.

Not sold on Parker at the pf spot full time, that ish might work on the college level might not work in the pros unless you're really physically imposing which Parker is not.

IMO Parker is Carmelo 2.0

What scares me about Wiggins is he reminds me a lot of Gerald Green. I need to go back and read Green's scouting report coming out of highschool, but if memory serves me correctly it is very similar to Wiggins

[Smooth_E]

Please don't flame me too hard, but is it worth it to create a thread about predicting our wins/losses for the entire season? Honest question. After last nights' big-3 freshman show-out, I'm really hoping to land one of those guys one way or another.

Jameer has to be traded, we're not going to know if Oladipo is a PG or SG until he starts playing more than 20 mpg. It'll definitely add losses as well, which is a win / win

Trading Jameer has no baring on whether or not Oladipo turns into a PG. If he's going to become a PG then it'll happen naturally more minutes wont change that. Right now he doesnt look anything like a PG and I personally dont think he ever will be a full time PG.

I agree that he doesn't look like PG, but no one knows if he is or isn't yet due to lack of playing time. Jameer being gone will simplify the outcome.

Man I really like college ball, no tanking just win

I dont think its due to a lack of playing time, its due to a lack of of pg instincts.

Well whether you're right or not I think management thinks differently at the moment.

I'm staying by my fav on this upcoming draft. Randle.

Well, but we dont need a star, we need a superstar, so we have to get a top3 pick, IMO. Without a franchise player we wont go anywhere.

[The Real Dalic]

I dont think its due to a lack of playing time, its due to a lack of of pg instincts.

I think it's due to lack of experience. It's still way to early in the season to know if he'll be a good PG or not. I think we'll start to see more consistency in December and I think he'll be at his absolute best starting in January.

I think so too, no one knew what Westbrook would turn into so early into his career. He just showed flashes of what he can do, that's all dipo needs to do at this point show flashes.
