2017 Draft Thread 2.0- Something to... Lmfao.. lol @

I'm not sure he'll play in the NBA next season

Pachimo?

Not ready, imo. I saw only two games, but he looked raw, even for Europe.

He rarely plays this season. He's played only in 16 games out of 45 since the start of the season.

Meh statistics:
12.4 min| 3.69pts | 3.5 reb | .56ast | .439 FG | .312 3P

Yeah, not good. Read that he was injured on and off for awhile with some nagging stuff. If he does come over then he might be the guy who falls and ends up making some team look smart.

The latest DX mock has us taking Justin Patton. I am perfectly fine with that.

This draft is really deep and you guys should stop thinking about the quality of our pick but the quality of the players we could be picking. Last year's draft 10-20 would probably be 15-25 in this draft. There's much better prospects in the tens than past drafts. I'm fully confident that there's several future great NBA players past the lottery. I mean there's a PF averaging 19 PPG(11 straight games scoring 20+ points currently) on 60+% shooting and he's not even considered a lottery pick.

Who?

John Collins.

I had to look him up, I remember hearing about him when he went to Cardinal Newman which is close to where I live.

I have a question. On draft day can pack package some of our player (signed) in a trade with our draft pick?

Isn't he a center? What would be the point for us?

I say we draft a 4 or a 3 scorer.

I'm not sold on Patton. He has skills, but there's not a separation in ability between he and a d leaguer who works hard in my opinion. Where are the unique skills at? Shoots 50% from free throw. I want to see a standout skill.

Runs the floor like a gazelle, athletic and has good touch. That + his size/length/ age makes him worth it imo.

Jumpshot not worth mentioning but the upside is their for that as well

Very few C's can take their man off the bounce from the 3 pt line like this

Not convinced Bish. Willie Reed ftw! Appreciate though.

He does remind me of Reed in a few instances but if Reed were doing the same things at 19 I would be saying the same thing

[Feel_the_Heat15]

Dx isn't factoring in team needs right now and even if they did it wouldn't matter much. OG Anunoby would make for a great stretch four on this team. Could be to our benefit that he got injured.

[DayofMourning]

Since Otto Porter is likely going to get matched, I've been looking for similar players in the draft.

I've had my eye on Justin Jackson all season. He checks a lot of boxes. Smart, athletic, efficient, etc.

We should be in a position to draft Fultz or Josh

Updated wants, all attainable:

Lauri Markkanen
Caleb Swanigan
Justin Jackson

Markkanen's not going 16th. Justin Jackson is just really 1-dimensional. Swanigan lacks athleticism and his defensive stats are very poor for a Center. If he didn't seem like a sub-par NBA defender I'd have no problems with him being unathletic but it's translating to his defensive stats.

Doubt he'll go past #15 but Robert Williams. John Collins looks like he'll be a very capable scorer in the NBA but I have slight concerns about his passing. Hartenstein has a lot of offensive and defensive upside. Adebayo, Anunoby and Leaf(defense could be an issue though for Leaf). Guess you could also add Patton.

[Bishop45]

Monk is otherworldly with his shot making, going off without Fox. He's Kentucky's only playmaker right now and still taking every shot like deadeye Kobe mode

Patton runs the break like a guard holy chit.
