Boston/Memphis/Milwaukee pick watch

[Mtowngrizz]

Bottom of the west isn't very good while Ja is already playing like a vet and he's second behind only Kawhi in 4th quarter scoring. Jaren struggled in the new system the first couple of weeks but since then he's averaging like 20 per game. Our two Canadians Dillion Brooks and Branon Clarke are also playing well while being so young. We are getting good leadership from our vets Kyle Anderson, Jonas Valanciunas, and Jae Crowder. We could easily get that 8th spot if not we will barely miss the playoffs so yall looking at pick 11-14.

Oh please you guys aren’t finishing ahead of 12th in the west.
What a really silly thing to say

I mean..i get it...that would really suck...two years in a row(Kings pick last year) where an asset could have been really good but turns out to be not so much. Ja/Jaren>Tatum/Brown

Lol Jaren regressed hard core, stop clowning. He’s a Serge Ibaka clone. Easily the most overrated young player in the league.

Also, imagine giving up a lottery pick for Jeff Green. Now that would really suck.

Sorry, Serge Ibaka could actually rebound the ball. Jaren Jackson doesnt.

Yep...Jaren has really regressed hard core...averaging 18 and 5 in his second year and just dropped 43 on the Greek freak. His rebounding will come when he gets stronger with age as Giannis only averaged 6 boards in his second season at the age of 20 as well. Boston had all of those assets we were told yet it is our 30 year old GM who has put together a young core of Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Brandon Clarke. Has to be mad concerning that Jason Tatum is only shooting 40% from the field huh??

Maybe only boast once your team no longer has a pathetic .346 record with that big three you mentioned?

And yet, he has the worst on/off net rating on your team. His defense has fallen as has his rebounding which is why one of the worst teams in the NBA is significantly worse when he plays.

Given that PIPM has Tatum ranked 13 in the league and has Jaren at 350, I’d say most of us are fine with it. If RPM is your jam, the picture only gets worse.

Enjoy your regressing SG masquerading in a PFs body that has been an absolute anchor on your team! I certainly enjoy every second he plays as a fan of a team that has your pick.

Now that the abolishment of the one and done rule has been tabled, and next year isn't a "double draft" of top prospects, I am OK with getting Vernon Carey at #7 next year.

Agreed, kids a beast !
Feel like his draft stock is rising each game though. Think we can get him at 7 ?

[Andrew McCeltic]

Our chance at Wiseman has gone up, too, since he’s sitting out the year.

I’m sure there are other examples of potential no. 1 picks slipping due to injury, playing abroad, the only things analogous to the Bazley route.. but right now I can only think of Noel, Mudiay and Michael Porter, Jr. And Embiid, obviously, but he - like Harry Giles - was a unique case.*

[sam_I_am]

Obi Toppen is moving up the board. Not sure I would want to use lottery pick on a 22 yo sophomore. However, the little I’ve seen of him he looks NBA ready, strong and can finish way above the rim. If his rise allows McDaniels or Carey or even Wiseman to fall to Celtics....that would be nice.

There is almost no chance of this happening. Wiseman is not injured and this is not a character flaw issue. Mitchell Robinson was more of a character concerns issue and I am pretty sure some GM's would like a redo on that one. Wiseman put out some game tape I think teams are going to be pretty comfortable with what they saw. He may have to workout more than most #1 picks do so be it. Ball and Cole Anthony could be shutting it down for the season shortly due to injury.

Im buying stock on Toppin— he grew 7 inches his senior year and is only recently starting to figure out how to play with his new size. He’s not a true 22 from a development standpoint.

GROSS!

I’m good with bigs who play exclusively in the post and cant shoot. I say this as a Duke homer, this guy is Jah Okafor 2.0. Will be devastated if we end up with him.

[CelticFaninLBC]

If they're drafting a big guy, they may want to trade down. Carey projects as a mid first rounder.

[sully00]

I have to admit I am a little surprised that Mem has let this get away from them so quickly. You have got to be disciplined if your going to tank these days. Getting your 10th win in December just shows a lack of focus. With the outstanding effort in ATL, GSW and with the additional dysfunctional steps taken in NYK and CLE your almost eliminated from top 3 consideration with 10 wins. At the same time they may struggle to play well enough to convey the pick so your playing into the worst possible scenario.

Some of the takes from C's fans re: Memphis are so bad here. I get that we want the pick to be good. But just like the Kings pick we've held on too long to this...

I'm buying stock in Memphis.
Brandon Clark was an absolute steal at 21.
Ja Morant is way more poised than people though he'd be.
Jaren Jackson has absolutely taken a leap.

And they have a lot of cap space if they want to use it the next two years.

I have little faith that pick is good next year. I'd settle for a Top 10 pick this year, or at least a bite at the apple.

[Homerclease]

If I had to have a guy this year it’s Jaden McDaniels. Issac clone who’s a better natural scorer. Shot is a work in process but this kid is gonna score in bunches at the next level. Long, athletic and can D up too

Come back when Jarren and Ja make playoffs. Brown and Tatum were central figures on the team that made it to ECF game 7. They don't even know what it means to suck as bad as Grizzlies.

Between, I like Jarren and Ja.

If by leap you mean stopped playing defense, then yes I agree.

And I wouldnt bet on FAs signing in Memphis.

Ja Morant is a stud though. He’s the reason theyre better than expected.
