I really like Jackson.

Murray is like another Harrison bro, to me. I'm just not impressed with his game. He's not a PG, either.

Murray needs to show me more. I like him but he hasn't wowed me yet. He doesn't have much quickness. He doesn't even play PG much for Kentucky. I am not sure he's a natural PG. if he's a SG he's only about 6'3 which isn't that tall. Right now I would take Dunn over Murray if I had a choice and I'm not wowed by Dunn either but he seems a little quicker and a better defender.

Couldn't Murray be a combo guard tho???

He has good passing ability, and can shoot the ball. CJ McCollum has been lighting it up this year as a similar sized 2

I think this is the Simmons/Ingram class.

I love Valentine but he likely wont be a top 5 pick. Hopefully we can get lucky and land 1 or 2.

Kobblehead · Post #825 » by **Kobblehead** » Fri Dec 18, 2015 6:01 pm

At this current level of play, I don't think Valentine falls out of the top 5.

It's early, but Murray is shooting under 40% for the season. So he is a perfect fit for our team.

He can. I just need to see more from him. He's living off his high school resume and his play for Canada this summer. I think he's good but I guarantee if no one told anyone who he was or said he was a top 5 prospect that people would say how much they like him. If he were the 42nd best player in high school I bet many people wouldn't say he's worth a top 5 pick. If he went to some school like Iowa I bet no one would say he's so good.

Right now I have Phila drafting Ingram 1st and Allen and Pat McCaw with Miami and OKCs picks.
With the 2nd round pick I'd try to grab a PG, there will be several available.

If the Sixers have the top pick and pass on Simmons then Hinkie should be fired on the spot and Colangelo should be let go immediately.

Just wondering, I know people say draft BPA not fit, but we did that last season right? At the time Jah was BPA so we took him, and now people are saying trade Jah and one of the main reasons is he cant fit.

Ingram on ESPN right now

Kobblehead · Post #832 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 6:33 pm

Excitement levels starting to rise. Ingram actually looking like a lotto pick in these last 5 or so games.

Kobblehead · Post #833 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 7:03 pm

We're going to overtime in this Duke game. Ingram disappeared down the stretch of the 2nd half. Let's see if he can make a mark on the extra period.

Mik317 · Post #834 » by **Mik317** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 7:31 pm

if we do draft Ingram we need to force feed him some sandwiches ...that or lock him in a gym.

He's gained 20 pounds since arriving at Duke and only got up to 190. Yikes.

76thBearCub · Post #836 » by **76thBearCub** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 7:40 pm

If he gained 20 pounds that quickly that has to be a good sign.

76ers · Post #837 » by **76ers** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 7:48 pm

Ingram reminds me of this guy.

Kobblehead · Post #838 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 7:53 pm

Brandon Ingram went 3 for 11 down the stretch including missing a 5 foot bunnie at the rim that would have tied the game with three seconds left.

Every time I give him the benefit of the doubt, he s***s the bed. Damn!

I love Demetrius Jackson. Almost an exact replica of Eric Bledsoe except he's a much better shooter. I have no doubt if he was 2 or 3 inches taller he would be a top 7-8 pick. But i dont care about his height because his athleticism makes up for it
