Russell really impressive. I know some guys on here have mentioned him many many times. Still I'm very curious who the Lakers pick if they do get the #2 pick and not #1. I think if they get the first pick I think we'd probably select Okafor.

Lakers' 1st choice would be okafor and mudiay on second from what i read on lakers nation's rumor

Towns with a step-back jumper just in front of the (college) 3 point line. Looked pretty smooth!

I haven't watched international ball at all so I couldn't take one of Hejonza or Mudiay with conviction over the guys I did see.

1. Okafor
2. Russell
3. Towns
4. Cauley-Stein
5. Looney

Watching some of these guys makes me realize how good of a pick Andrew Bynum was. Absolute steal to have got him at 10 when Seattle was picking guys like Sear Sene, Robert Swift and any unknown big man from Africa out of desperation.

Did you watch the game tonight, Slava? What did you think of Jarell Martin? Reminds me of Paul Millsap. I have him #23 on my big board, DX has him 2nd round 48th overall.

Nah man, I was watching the Rockets vs Suns game, I did like the interior D when I watched LSU a while ago but did not observe Martin particularly.

^ Funny how Towns rolls in the background as his coach talks about his immature technical to the sideline reporter. :lol:

My top 14 so far:

1-Russell
2-Okafor
3-Towns
4-Johnson
5-Mudiay
6-Hezonja
7-Porzingis
8-Winslow
9-Looney
10-Cauley-Stein
11-Oubre
12-Harrell
13-Kaminsky
14-Toss up between Grant and LeVert

Myles Turner would be in here, but I don't think he declares this year. Would include Trey Lyles and Devin Booker for consideration of the 14th spot but again not sure if they'll declare or not.

I take lakers nation's articles with a grain of salt, you should too. I HIGHLY doubt Mudiay would be after Okafor, the level of talent he's up against reminds me of all the hype we had last year on exum.

that's a funny calipari gif.

Looney prospect crush continues... recorded the game today against OSU. Only 7 minutes in but he has such a high BBIQ, unselfish, literally can do it all.

miggs · Post #276 » by **miggs** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 7:30 am

You are truly in LOVE with this guy Ty, I gotta stop reading your posts and do more watching, gonna see what I find on youtube and google.

What is the highest pick you'd use on Looney?

Post #277 » by **crazyeights** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 7:07 pm

Currently the Rockets pick is 25th. What sort of talent will be there at the end of the 1st? How are you guys feeling about nabbing a keeper there and with the early 2nd?

From Feb. 1...

1. Jahlil Okafor
2. Karl Towns
3. Kevon Looney
4. D'Angelo Russell
5. Mario Hezonja
6. Emmanuel Mudiay
7. Kristaps Porzingis
8. Stanley Johnson
9. Willie Cauley-Stein
10. Myles Turner
11. Justise Winslow
12. Kelly Oubre Jr.
13. Frank Kaminsky
14. Bobby Portis
15. Jerian Grant
16. Montrezl Harrell
17. Devin Booker
18. Justin Anderson
19. Delon Wright
20. Caris LeVert
21. Trey Lyles
22. Tyus Jones
23. Jarell Martin
24. Vince Hunter
25. Terry Rozier

Pretty big drop off after that. You're looking at guys like Sam Dekker, Christian Wood, Jakob Poeltl, Damian Jones, Jake Lyman, etc.

Really hope the Houston picks falls before 25.

Russell with his first off game in a while as Ohio St. loses to Michigan St. Thought he should've gotten more opportunities to shoot down the stretch with the game being close, but he did get his teammates some good looks-they just missed some shots. Always been high on Branden Dawson from MSU, who has been consistent all year long and put up 15/11/4 with 5 blocks. Hoping we can take a flier on him with a mid-late second

Post #280 » by **Slava** » Sat Feb 14, 2015 8:24 pm

That was a bad game for Russell. You could see the flashes of how good his vision is from time to time but his lack of concentration and lackadaisical ball handling was a bit concerning.

Who will win the national championship?
