2018 NBA Draft Thread

i also very much like robert williams....wanted him to stay in last year in hopes of a slide

I think if he were to slide it would be this year and not last year. His numbers didn't improve at all this 2nd year.

If the Clips like Henson (they were rumored to during the DeAndre Jordan discussion), I'd see if they would take 17 and Henson for 12 (Robert Williams) and filler. I just believe Williams is made for the NBA (crazy athletic, insane wingspan, doesn't get pushed on the block, and can get up and down the court) and would really help our rebounding.

Bob Williams would be awesome. Would not trade up for a guy who can't shoot though.

Yeah, I can't recall some of the concerns I had about him last year, but for some unknown reason I like him a lot more this year. If in some bizzaro world all it cost to move up is dumping Henson, then yeah, I am down.

I feel you on his shooting ability, which has a chance to be okay one day but no guarantee.

I don't think he gets past the Wizards at 15 who really needs to draft a center. Maybe they draft Robinson but I think Williams is gone by pick 15. Clippers at 12 and 13 could be a landing spot.

I think there is a good chance that he's there at 17. He declined his combine invite which probably means the agent is trying to control where he lands.

[Badgerlander]

Zero percent chance he's the next AD. I'll settle for the next Clint Capela.

i think he, and shake milton are the two guys that make the most sense for the bucks at 17

i might be the only one, but i also like bates-diop as well

Agreed on Shake. Seems to have the body and skillset (offensively and defensively) to play the 1, 2 and 3, and has consistently shot over 40% from 3. I've seen the comp of Tyreke Evans with a jumpshot, which sounds pretty darn good to me.

I really like Shake but he is the polar opposite of Tyreke at pretty much everything

[emunney]

I thought Williams' shooting was pretty promising last year. Obviously shooting 47% from the line this year will change some minds. It's a bigger problem that he shoots so few of them, but that hasn't stopped me from liking a big in the past if he's got enough else going for him, which Williams does.

I'd be pretty surprised if we passed on him if he's there at 17.

Anybody in our range that can take anyone off the dribble but sucks at shooting?

[Fotis St]

Devonte Graham on my watch list too ... he is projected as an early 2nd round pick BUT so was Donovan Mitchell a month before draft day ...

Watch list : Khyri Thomas, Devonte Graham

Edit: would you trade Khris+Brog for Bamba ?

I wouldn't select Bamba but for the pick, sure.

Edit: I thought it was Bled + Brogdon. Wouldn't do Khris unless JJJ/Doncic was on the board.

Ew I think we’d be a lottery team next year but hey the Suns would love it

Our offense would go from the top of the league to the bottom pretty damn fast.

Sexton is for sure closest to this description.

Ayton going 6th and Bamba going 11th? I mean, I wish.

The Warriors and Rockets have no trouble spacing the floor without a shooting center. I'll take a rebounder/finisher who can make teams pay at the rim for helping off him AND defend his position.

Robert Williams is the guy for me, but I'd be surprised if he dropped to 17.

He's really the #1 guy I want, I wish we could move up somehow to secure him...

Sorry you cant compare our roster to the Rockets or Warriors. I would rather take a shot at a guy like Brandon McCoy who is bigger and he can do the same things and has some range.

[sdn40]

Trade the pick for Hartenstein, hire Messina, move the team to Munich

Sick of guys whos motor runs hot and cold. Brandon McCoy was more productive in one year compared to two for Williams.
