Bender come to NBA this summer (after draft), or stay in Europe one or two more season?

All indications are that he comes over this year. I don't think he'll be ready to contribute more than spot minutes for a year or two though. I'd still take him.

If Celtics pick him i m quite sure Bender will be available at #5...and i definitely pick him in that case over murray and dunn..

Why would you be sure that the Suns would pass on him? I'd love to share your optimism.

I believe Marquese Chriss will be selected by Suns...I think they are not completely sure to sign an european player like Bender...

Simmons
Ingram
Hield
Chriss
Bender

Anyway I'd be happy to see Hield available at #5...if I can t select Bender or Hield I'd select Murray over Dunn..

It still seems that Bender is the consensus pick he if is available for Phoenix in most mock drafts.

Chad Ford has Chriss going #4 and us taking Bender in his latest mock. God I hope thats how it turns out.

That's best case scenario. Hopefully the 3 and 4 picks like the upside of some other guys more. As the youngest guy in the draft he has a much better feel than most his age and no pressure to something he isn't right away if the Wolves draft him.

Why is everyone so hyped over Dunn? Do we really need another point guard who can't shoot?

I'm still hoping for Murray or Hield.

They haven't watched him play. :lol:

Tyus is a better PG than Dunn.

A bunch of apologists, they are in love with the new coach and will believe everything he does to be right and true

right now it is believed Coach Thibs loves Dunn so they love Dunn too.

No he isn't. You might know that if you had watched him play.

Yeah, Dragan might be next Kukoc.

P.S. Being in another timezone (+6 UTC) these 7 nights will be hard to sleep

He's arguably the best fit for us. A mobile PF that can hit 3s, pass and switch on PnRs? Sign me up.

Unfortunately it's tough to see him falling to us. I'd be amazed if Phoenix passed on him.

Phoenix is overloaded with guards, maybe they trade 4th pick to Philly for bigman, while Bender falls to us.

What about Boston or Chicago* (if they trade the pick for Jimmy) are they going to pass on Bender ?

LacosteM wrote:Well from what I've seen Dunn suffers from Dion Waiters syndrome where he is getting to the rim but struggles to finish afterwards.

This is false.

All three of Dunn, Murray and Hield finish very close to 60% at the rim.

So if you bitch about Dunn's finishing there, you better be bitching about Murray and Hield's finishing too.

Murray = 62%
Dunn = 60%
Hield = 59%

Why is it that you so freely insult other posters simply because they aren't 100% bashing a certain player? You attack our intelligence because we might be open-minded and are not settling for the same guy. You don't see anyone attacking you, do you, telling you that you must not have watched any video on the guy you like?

Let's stick to talking about the actual draft prospects and not attacking each other for the prospects we like, please.
