Re: 2018 Draft Thread
Bamba and ayton are very intriguing players. Willy can kick rocks if he doesn't improve on defense next year and doesn't have much strides on offense. I'd look to target one of those centers if this is the case.
Bamba looks to be like the next gobert. Him and KP would lockdown the frontcourt.
Ayton looks like embiid without the injuries. Two 7 footers dominating the paint that can also stretch the floor would be "formidable" hehe
There is just so many ways we can rebuild next year it's crazy.
Doncic might be the best Sg in draft since Brandon Roy. He's a no brainer if available.
Porter could be the next KD.
Knox reminds me of KD as well. I think he's gonna play out to a top 10 pick next year.
Colin sexton has a mamba mentality. I love his energy and intensity. He loves to shoot a lot so I'm skeptical of his other aspects.
Trevon duval has insane handles and court vision but a questionable shot. Could be the best point guard in draft. We could pick him and slide frank to the two.

Doncic is the number 1 target
but as far as the point guards go
Although he didn't have a great game from an efficiency standpoint (3-of-11, 0-of-5 from 3), Sexton's explosiveness, passion for the game, improving vision (8 assists) and overall intensity (4 steals) really shined through in Portland, - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Collin-Sexton-91232/ ©DraftExpress
this is his biggest obstacle in my opinion if he keeps that hunger on offense and continues improving his vision translating into more of a point guard than a scorer he's gonna be a problem.
i like duval too but that shot broke as hell, if he fixes it id probably move him ahead of sexton but idk sexton gives me that vibe that he will takeover the game whenever you call upon him and he plays with that type of mentality he's a bulldog on both ends plays with that westbrook type attitude.

yeah i saw that he was improving his passing aspect of his game too. he could be a complete point guard.
i agree about his mentality. thats why i said he has that "mamba" mindset. he wants to WIN. plays with heart and intensity. looking forward to watching him in college
i haven't seen duval shoot it that much but when he did, it didn't look that bad. looks fixable to me IMO

it was a bball game but they bought in the hype for the matchup lol
that kid in the white was impressive as hell. i had no idea who he he was. everyone knows julian newman... he's been pretty hyped up for the past couple of years. for that kid to go against someone like him and hold it down... that's damn impressive

I love the talent in the next 2 years. Wanna stink 2018 also and get Marvin Bagley the best prospect since Lebron James!

Re: 2018 Draft Thread
A lot of teams are into this 2018 and even 2019 tank mode, even teams that were in the playoffs last season. Really hope we get to do the right thing for the franchise whatever it may be.
