Official 2017 Draft Thread - Something Positive To Look Forward To

im watching this creighton game and this justin patton dude is really impressive. 7 footer with a handle, mobility, runs the floor well, some range, decent post moves, and he can pass pretty well out of the post. i like him. he should be in consideration for us if hes still there between 12-16.

Looks like a Myles Turner/ DJ hybrid with the way he runs the floor/his athleticism, I'm intrigued

i just watched him face a guy up just inside the 3 point line, go between the legs, spin, and finish at the hoop in like two steps. I like him man i have a feeling he'd have much more buzz if he was at a big school.

I see Miami if they make the playoffs, landing a top 15 pick. Who do you guys see that has potential at #15?

I like Ivan Rabb, rated #14 right now on DX (I go by a 12-17 range--guys can slide or rise).

About a month ago. Good value for that pick. However...

...if this guy is somehow still on the board at that hypothetical #15, I think Riley takes him and slides him next to Whiteside.

i love lauris jumper. it is beautiful, but he is elementary as hell in the post. hes not gonna rebound well. hes going to be an issue defensively. i think we need someone more athletic next to hassan. lauri has the greatest amount of bustability out of these higher touted prospects to me. that stroke is sexy though.

He's probably gonna jump into the top 10 considering the top is so point guard heavy. One of those teams is bound to take a talented center prospect like Patton

Really bad rebounder though.

Mediocre, not terrible. For his skill set I'll allow it

This type of length on a borderline second round talent is criminal, would be a great Sioux Falls candidate after school

I know it's gaudy numbers against gaudy competition but (spoiler* comparison might cause ad nauseam) from the lanky undefined body to the point blank uglyiness and swagger he reminds me of young Wade. *ducks* way less smooth but ...

Made me re-watch old Wade, damn good

The fact that Tyler Lydon is a better rebounder than him at 6'9 doesn't make him a terrible rebounder?

[RexBoyWonder]

For some reason I just can't excited about second roundes this year.

Hell, anything outside the top 10 hardly gets me hot.

I think it's probably becase I see our need as a big fish high upside guy. We don't need more projects/bench/cheap/limited rotation player.

We need 1 stud that can develop into an allstar.We're missing a key piece, not more role players, nice as they might be.

Doesn't vary by height, some players are better rebounders than others. As for rebounding, he's mediocre/not very good. Still very versatile, I'll allow it

Don't starve yourself just cause you can't have chicken, stop limiting these kids potential as well. Far beyond the boundaries of being dismissive here, there's tons of stars to come outside of the top 10. Take what you get

Tons of you judge over the last 30 years maybe
