2014 draft thread

Post #1 » by **jwise44** » Sat May 17, 2014 9:00 pm

I'm watching the draft combine.. Guess we could use this thread, too?

Who can fall to us?

May not be what we need but I like that stauskas kid.

We have 25 and 42

other than top 3 we have no idea who else could fall to us
news flying that Rockets interviewed Marcus Smart but he's top 10 candidate

i like this guy so far that we can get at #25 or #42 (draftexpress had him early 2nd round, nbadraft had him at late 2nd round)
Bogdan Bogdanovic, 6'6" with 6'11" wingspan, long for wing player, decent shooting, can handle the ball, can create his own shot, play the passing lane, 10x better defender than Haren, fit McHale playing style

i think others like Glenn Robinson III

Kyle Anderson 6'8" SF
Diaw/Odom like, good size, can play multi position, good playmaker and passer

Adreian Payne 6'10" PF
a stretch PF, 6'10" in shoes and 7'4" wingspan

Too many "U of M" players mentioned. Do not wanted... I'll admit I thought Burke would of been attractive here and the basketball gods sent him to Utah, reminding me of how unholy those thoughts were.

Although I had no idea Robinson had such a crazy vert(standing: 36.5 & max vert: 41.5)

For me its Adreian Payne or bust.

this is bull! how is this supposed to help people think the nba is not rigged? one step forward with the the black clippers owner, 2 steps back giving the cavs ANOTHER first round pick! THREE FIRST ROUND PICKS IN 4 YEARS! two 4th overall picks to go with that! ****!

Cavs, fck your science and probabilities.

If the NBA was rigged the Lakers would have won the first pick. Dan Gilbert's son is just Harry Potter.

I picked Tyler Ennis for us. Yeah I know we have Lin, Beverley and just drafted Canaan last year.

Post #18 » by **jwise44** » Fri May 30, 2014 12:08 am

Everyone I would want is gone...I really didn't watch a lot of college ball this year until march madness so I don't know the lesser known guys

Ennis would be a value pick and we could use him if we trade Lin

If we drafted ennis and trade Lin, were probably trading Asik, too, and then I would want to pray we get Patric young in the second!
