Which three teams do you think had the best draft? 

Post#1 » by bwgood77 » Fri Jun 24, 2016 4:12 am

I will look more closely at each team's picks but I am surprised the Suns got Bender and Chriss and then added Ulis. I think that was pretty good.

I thought the Spurs got a great pick with Murray when they did and the Pistons getting Ellenson that late was good value and then Boston getting Deyonta Davis that late...all good off the top of my head. Will review and add more later.

I think the Lakers did great. IMHO, Ingram will be the best player in this draft, and Zubac looks like a steal at #32.

Philly with their late picks did really well.

Well I think Philly made the right picks at their spots. Denver cane away with some promising talent. I can get with PHX high-ceiling duo, since they're in a rebuild mode.

I'm wondering what happens next with the Kings, now that they have 4 centers in a league where you aren't gonnabe playing 2 low-post Cs at a time.

Suns getting Bender then Chriss at #8 was amazing. Not sure what Sacto was thinking on that trade though.......

I thought the Suns did well for themselves.

Phoenix, Jazz and GSW- strictly off of the Patrick McCaw pickup. One of the better "fits" in this draft teamwise

This. Now of course all this can change once games begin to be played. But tonight it definitely looks like these 3 are the stand outs. If Minny can make a trade with Rubio or Dunn they may get tossed in there as well.

On a side note, if Denver hits this year with their draft like it looks like they may, Denver's front office would need to get talked more about with what they have been with the drafts lately

I agree, IMO Ingram is going to be the only true superstar.

Sixers, Nuggets, Suns.

Getting all three of Bender, Chriss, and Skal is absolutely absurd by Phoenix. Just a ridiculous collection of raw talent there.

Memphis had a sneaky good draft, Baldwin and Davis is very good upside considering where they picked.

Can anyone explain Sacramento's reasoning for their night tonight?

Yes, I like Ingram a lot, and Zubac was definitely a steal late.

One of my favorite times of the year. People spewing hot takes like a hydrant on players they've most likely never seen play. But, I'll join the fun.

Philly, Lakers, Phoenix. No order.

Agreed. Zubac should have been a top 20ish pick (maybe even higher) but he wanted to play now and not get stashed overseas. Great pick up.
