Quite surprising tbh considering Ohio State has been much better at getting talent over the last decade.

May be better at getting one or two NBA quality talent but Wisconsin has consistently put together strong Big 10 squads.

Towns has jumped to #2 on DX, surprised they still have Mudiay at #4.

wouldn't be a bad consolation prize....big PG, supposedly he's much more of a true PG then Russell? From what I'm reading Russell is more of a combo guard

Many people were impressed by his play in the china playoffs even if coming back from an injury and all the added rust.

yeah with Athletic PGs being all the rage and his size advantage against other PGs, it's really hard to ever see him fall far.

From the way people talk there are only a handful of true PGs in the world.

Delon Wright gets robbed. smh

Other notables:

Stanley Johnson 1st team All-P12, All-Fr P12
Kevon Looney 2nd team All-P12, All-Fr P12
Jakob Poeltl All-Fr P12

The more I see of Looney the more I'm convinced he'd be perfect next to Randle. Would be friggin to sweet to have a line up next season of

Clarkson
Bryant
Looney
Randle
Towns

It's a major pipe dream but man if that deal is somehow on the table, you get that other lottery pick to draft looney. maybe we can dangle jordan hill and swaggy p... sigh

So fellas at this point, what player would you guys take with each of our picks:

LAL Top-5 Protect Pick:
HOU 1st Rd Pick:
LAL 2nd Rd Pick:
*LAC 2nd Rd Pick:

I love hearing you guys discuss these young guys and I look forward to your responses indeed. There's sweet potential in that Hou and Lal 2nd rd pick

if we're not getting top 2 we got no shot at Towns, especially if the new projection is accurate, he's now the #1 projected pick.

I was getting a lot of Mudiay at 2/3 and Porzingis at 5th.

LApwnd · Post #533 » by **LApwnd** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 10:46 pm

I noticed both Okafor and Towns is listed at 6'11", either one of these guys gona be a legit 7fter w/o shoes since both are still 18/19?

Good read on the player with the highest ceiling.

Thanks for that ty. If we lose out on okafor/towns/russell, my next choice is for sure looney. kid does look like a mean sf at the nba level, i can see it. i'd love to somehow acquire a 2nd lottery pick just to get him but I doubt that can happen.

I kept getting **** porzingis on that espn mock, got me all discouraged so i just stopped hahaha

Porzingis is better than seeing Philly twice like what I kept getting :lol:
