Premature 2015 Draft Discussion

Has anybody watched Virginia play? Is Justin Anderson's improved shooting for real?

I would love for us to get one of the young kentucky centers, maybe Dakari Johnson or their other freshman if he drops to us? Joakim noah is 29 and Pau is 34. Maybe sit them on the bench for some years as a backup to both of them and then once they leave or get old start them?

We also need a small forward. Replenisih talent.

I still want Mario Hezonja and Kristaps Porzingis. As already noted though, Hezonja has a bit of an attitude (potentially anyway), but looking at skillset, I like it. I think stashing guys for a while would be good. Mario would provide a bit of that point forward, or shooting guard with a handle, to compliment Butler (if he's retained as expected). Porzingis I think has a huge ceiling, and who doesn't like a 7'1" big man with small man perimeter game? He really needs to bulk up though, and with narrow shoulders it is hard telling if he will be able to. In the videos I've seen, he looks like a shot blocker, so maybe he's a Tyson Chandler with more offense.

Hezonja might be available for you via Sac pick because early-mid lottery is usually stacked with NCAA talent which is getting overrated compared to some euro counterparts.Hezonja attitude issues are overblown and outdated, kid already matured enough to earn minutes in powerhouse like Barcelona and he is contributing w/o making any off-court troubles.He got that alpha dog mentality and imo he might be best wing available in this draft.

We need get Hezonja. I am very high on him.

If we get both picks, I'd like us to draft Delon Wright or Mario Hezonja and Dakari Johnson.

I watched the games against NC State and Clemson. I think his shot looks good from his base to his follow through. He shoots the ball comfortably around the 3 point line, and he's even shown a little off the dribble. I truly think this kid has the potential to be a legit 3D guy in the league. He reminds me of a stronger, and more athletic version of Danny Green.

I'm with you on Hezonja with the Sac pick.
Need to get him, trade up for him necessary.
