2013 Draft Thread Part 2

CHA should make some noise in the draft. Offer ORL Kemba for Harris or Harkless straight up, and select Burke with their pick.

Burke
Henderson
MKG
Harris
Biyombo

^Not too bad, extremely young and Harris showed he can be an effective 18-20pt scorer. Maybe a guy like Gortat fits in at C there for a future 1st

Not a bad deal for Charlotte at all.

I think Orlando might be leaning towards trading Afflalo for Bledsoe and picking up McLemore.

Bledsoe
McLemore
?
Harris
Vucevic

Pretty great squad for them.

Don't like for Charlotte. IMO Kemba is better than Harris/Harkless and Burke.

Was there any word on how the two big men (Zeller and Gobert) from yesterday's workout looked?

Well, well...the Suns are really working it this draft season... Good for them. Leave no rock unturned!

All I read was that Zeller was faster than Olidapo...I laughed

Oladipo is killing it in workouts, and has that smooth-talk with an effect punchline for every team he visits. We now have more chances of having Ben McLemore at #5 than Oladipo.

Mac is going before Oladipo. Isn't Orlando high on him?

I still think Detroit will explore trade up options for Burke fearing Sacramento taking him. A hometown PG to go with Monroe/Drummond would be a nice foundation. If Oladipo is gone by #5 I'd trade back and take McCollum at #8.

Lets assume we can deal theG for an extra pick, as well as #30 + (Turner?) to move up into the twenties...

What would you do with #5, #12, #21

I thought Detroit liked Knight, have they given up on him?

With good reason. Totally inconsistent, and failed miserably as a PG, with a asst/to ratio lower than 1. They did sign Calderón last year to move Knight to the 2, after all.

Not to mention that players were getting their highlight crossovers and dunks on Knight.

RunDogGun · Post #1355 » by **RunDogGun** » Thu Jun 6, 2013 8:14 pm

Detroit had problems all around, and the whole team had consistency issues. Calderon was part of a trade, not signed outright. Knight still started every game he played, so if they have given up on him, it didn't show in starts.

As for guys dunking on him, well it isn't too tough to dunk on him when said person is almost a foot taller, and uses the off arm to give themselves an edge.

Either way, Burke doesn't really seem to be an upgrade at point for them.

Suns will pick McLemore over Oladipo given the choice, sorry to all the fan boys.

Thanks for creating a RealGM account, Mr. McDonough. Nice to have you.

I`d trade Kendall Marshall for Shane Larkin in a heartbeat.
