Kind of funny that your criticisms of Ennis are that he "can't jump, can't play defense, not athletic in any sense" and yet you have Anderson listed as your top draft priority.

It's the case of a dime a dozen player vs a truly unique prospect. Anderson can do what Ennis does but he's got over half a foot of size on him.

Jabari is by far the best player in this draft

**** Brooklyn. **** Jay Z. We reppin' Queensbridge for the man who first coined "half man/half amazing" and "You couldn’t catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer/That’s like Malcolm X catching the Jungle Fever."

20 years since Illmatic

Rocking more kicks than a baby in a mothers stomach.

It ain't hard to tell that even though life's a bitch, kyle anderson... the world is yours.

Just another friendly reminder that Zach LaVine has bust written all over him. I've been a broken record about this but it bears repeating now that full-time scouts are voicing similar thoughts.

Even at pick 37 there will be guys available - ex. Inglis - who have a better chance of reaching their potential compared to the non-defending, non-dribbling, non-playmaking "PG" named LaVine.

But if you like AAU hero-ball and 2 minute highlight videos of transition dunks then by all means he's your prime target.

Knicks don't have much to offer unless they want to trade Hardway jr...

Anyone want the Suns 27th for Nyk 2016?

Someone in his camp needs to tell him to stop tweeting things out. I know you cant summarize his true intent in under 140 characters but he just comes off so dumb. Focus on workouts and leave twitter alone.

Didn't like Anderson before and like him less now. Give me Payton or McDaniels

Yeah the most likely candidate to take Ennis is probably the Bulls since they need back up insurance for Rose. Question is whether they want Payton or Ennis. Maybe Masai can pull a trade to get one of their picks in exchange for some salary cap relief (since the Bulls seem to be hunting for a big name player this offseason).

Still think that Masai might trade Ross +59th to Chicago for Dunleavy + 16th + 49th Chicago gets a player Thibs would love plus save about 2 million in cap space. Dunleavy is a savvy veteran who is 6ft9 SF on a good contract $3 million and could successfully play substantial minutes. We would then have 4 picks 16th, 20th, 37th and 49th.
With 16th and 20th we have a chance of getting 2 out of 4 players Anderson. Porzingis, Ennis or Payton. With 37th opportunity to possibly get Inglis and 49th get Bachynski

We will have no defender at the wing. I am not sure we are trading our perimeter defenders, assuming we may trade Salmons away.

Dunleavy is a very good defender.

Referring to their 1st rounder at #21.

Cmon Raps, steal him away! :pray:

Could also be Porzingis' agent trying to fish for a first round bite to prevent withdrawing.

First we steal Porzingis, then Durant.

Not sure if posted yet

But sources now say Porzingis has received a promise from the Thunder to draft him in the first round. There's no way he'll be around at 29, so the Thunder's pick at No. 21 is the target

m83588333 · Post #1297 » by **m83588333** » Wed Jun 4, 2014 11:43 pm

If Porzingus stays in the draft he'll go just ouside the lottery or late lottery. Early lottery is worth millions. After the withdraw date mock drafts will change.

I do find it odd that Porzingis and Inglis reportedly declined to participate at the Eurocamp. As bubble first rounders both guys could stand to gain a lot from a public showing in front of reps from every team in the league, so yeah, perhaps both have received promises and instructions to shut it down. Who knows.

Yeah I just found out that they weren't attending the Adidas Eurocamp. I wish they had as I'd like to see where they stand against their age group, but like you said maybe both have gotten some instructions to limit their exposure. I hope Masai has already scouted him enough :nod:
