doesn't matter we will trade it for some old semi-washed up PF probably.

If we get 30 we can dump it for cap relief for all I care.

I'm still too traumatized from the last draft to start thinking about new prospects.

I would trade the 30th pick for Arron Afflalo if neither Lamb or our Italian rookie has a breakout year. Probably makes a little too much money though

This draft will be deep imo and we will get a good prospect late.

Grayson Allen, Malik Pope or Justin Jackson etc.

We need a bench at this point and we'll find role players there.

We are in win now mode. Just like I recommended last year we should trade the pick for a veteran who can contribute right now. The Belinelli trade is starting to look like a stroke of genius. Marco is wrecking SHOP off the bench while Malachi is still struggling just to prove he deserves an nba roster spot.

ACC top 25 teams

UNC- 4th
Duke- 6th
Virginia- 7th
Louisville-10th
Syracuse-18th
Florida State-25th

pretty good.

Adebayo could be a real blessing for this team. I hope i will have the opportunity to see him play. But on the paper (and videos) it's exactly the counterpart for Cody. And he his nba body ready.

I like Bam. A lot. But I'm not sure he has the BBIQ we like our players to have.

Still, getting him at the bottom of the draft would be a good upside pick.

I have watched 0 seconds of college basketball so far. I'm not sure I can name more than 5 players in college right now. It's shocking how little attention I pay to college these days, especially before March.

Ball dude at UCLA
Meeks at Carolina
Allen at Duke

[brain freeze]

I'm with you dude. Half the rookies in the NBA right now I'm literally seeing them for the first time ever. I've stopped caring since we became good.

I looked at draftexpress just now and I have only heard of 2 of the top 25 players - Ball and Giles.

Post #19 » by **Diop** » Thu Dec 1, 2016 6:20 am

I did notice that there is a prospect with the surname something-Diop

Ball is the kid to know.

(Even though his jump shot looks like MKG and Josh Childress jump shots had a jump shot baby)
