Re: 2016 Draft and College Ball
Side Note: My reason against Dunn is he needs the ball in his hands to be effective

Yeah, I want no part of either. There are at least 4 bigs who I'd take over Skal with the Washington pick.

Damantas Sabonis (19 pts 10 rebs) vs. Jakob Poetl (5 pts 4 rbs) and the win Zag 82-59. Sweet 16 for Zags. Say what you want about Sabonis, he keeps doing it over and over and over again.

Not sure about Ingram, was hoping he'd shoot well in big games.

Providence can't make an open layup without it bouncing around the rim. Carolina's length has them spooked.

Wasn't on Dunn. They couldn't buy an open three. Kris Dunn would be great passing to an open Booker versus an open Bullock.

Re: 2016 Draft and College Ball
Watching the Providence game, I can see why so many are enamored with Dunn. He's very fast, athletic and shifty with the ball in his hands. But on a team that's already so guard-heavy, do we really need to spend our highest draft pick in what I can only believe a quarter century on another point guard?
He's very turnover prone too. We have enough of those. Lets swing for the fences with Brown or Bender if they're on the board. This team needs another guard like we needed Tyson Chandler.

His Offensive Rating is only 105 as a Senior playing college kids.
These players who look good in highlights or the odd game are Brandon Knight traps.

Having guards and good guards are two different things. Lets not draft a good player, lets draft someone who hasn't done anything and hope he will become better than a guy that balled his ass off tonight for you guys!!
Btw, I told you so!!

This explains why you wanted Kaminsky.

Hield is primed to make a run up to the top of the draft (Personally be surprised if he wasn't a top 4 pick).
None of the top guys have made big moves this tournament (only Hield and Brown left).

The Suns aren't a contender. There is no point of playing it safe, swinging for the fences for the highest potential players is the way they should draft, not seniors who beat up on lesser competition.

You seem enamored with older college players feasting on younger competition and also you seem to be silent after his dud games but very loud about a good game. I like Dunn better than all top prospects outside top 3 though.

Kamisnky wasn't a top 5 talent, we were drafting number 13 last year. Dunn is a top athlete and player and he has shown it all year and most definitely tonight. He turned 22 yesterday, not in October. Bledsoe is old and injury prone and Knight...lol, I guess because we have guards means we are set at guard.
You want Brown or Bender over Dunn....no way! Ingram, Simmons, Murray, or even Heidl, but Brown is a bust already...and Bender doesn't even play. F that.

I was thinking earlier it made sense for him to go to a contender as a role player or backup...he is a junior though.

He is a young prospect like Amare was. And he fits a position of need. You want us to take Dunn #3 overall and still have a glaring hole at PF? Dunn wouldn't even play much on our team. Bender has high bust potential but also the highest upside of anyone in the draft. The dude is smart, can hit 3s, is 7'1, and is tough.
