KCP/Afflalo/Middleton was a really great hit rate, also i remember when they were developing Amir Johnson and just let him take 10,000 shots a game in the d league. after seeing some of the names the team is working out now i would actually be thrilled if they just straight up got Donovan Mitchell i think. i don't know if i trust SVGs drafting at all.

His pattern so far is to draft anyone who shot in college and handled the ball a little bit regardless of important tools and context questions, and drafted players who may have slipped from late first to early second because of college injuries, and it's netted Darrun Hilliard, Michael Gbinje, Henry Ellenson, and Spencer Dinwiddie. What a pack of alpha males, what a stud farm he's got going. To be fair, Hillard looked like a potential 10th man at times and Gbinje was hurt. But MV called Ellenson sucking straight away and he's continued to do that everywhere but Summer league and the D league. Dinwiddie is a clarion call to all GMs, don't loving pick a tall pg whose only special tool is his height. It doesn't work. I love moustache Dinwiddie though and I hope he develops a three so he can stay in the NBA. Van Gundy is a stupid rear end in a top hat who got rid of some of the best scouts in the NBA so guys from Orlando could continue their mediocrity in a colder city. Based on that pattern I would guess he drafts Kennard or Donovan Mitchell. Maaaybe Zach Collins if they realize how bad Ellenson is \ Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Jun 17, 2017 |

Maaaybe Zach Collins if they realize how bad Ellenson is \ i have no faith that the team wont pass on Collins simply because of the "log jam" with Ellenson and Leuer. i mean i hope they recognize that's not a reason to pass on him, but i dont have any real faith that Stan isn't going to stick with his out of their depth guys i hope the rumors of Kennard going to Charlotte are true so SVG doesnt have the temptation to gently caress this up, but i would like to think if there was a choice between him and Mitchell that the defensive possibilities of Mitchell would endear him to SVG edit: theres a rumor the pistons might want to move up to get dennis smith jr which would be great to me, if they're not able to assemble an actual functioning lineup just trying to set up a pick and roll offense without reggie jackson would be an improvement on what the team currently has going on. rabidsquid fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Jun 17, 2017 |

El Gallinero Gros posted:Tell me about Terrence Ferguson. When we do player comps we're usually just using an accessible archetype to fill in the big gaps left when you haven't observed someone, but he is Terrence Ross. They could be brothers. We don't know if he'll be a rich man's T Ross, a poor man's, or something else, but he was not good in Australia this year, but to be fair that league is physical and the 2 or 3 other NBA rotation players who went there instead of college didn't look like anything in their rookie seasons in the ABL. He's an incredibly agile and athletic and long wing who has a great jumper, but the only other thing he can do is make straight line drives toward the rim. No defense, no passing, no special handle, but he's got Tools baby, and maybe you get lucky and he works hard in the G league, and becomes a steal, now that he's being mocked to good teams at the bottom pf the first. What if he falls to the Warriors and becomes the player who gives them an excuse to trade Klay Thompson in 2 years. (There is .0001% chance of that happening). What if he replaces Danny Green with an all star level shooter and defender for the Spurs? I'm overplaying the possibilities. Odds are that if he makes it as an NBA player, it will be as a backup shooter who occasionally makes huge dunks off of cuts and alley oops

I think the fact that he can't play d or pass for poo poo just makes me prefer Anunoby more, every scouting report I read talks about his defensive ability already being NBA quality and he's a strong offensive rebounder. Because Toronto's main options are volume scorers I think that's important. Obviously in this draft we're not gonna get much value at #23 unless Ujiri can pull a fast one. Might as well grab a guy who can add qualities your team needs. Keep in mind I'm largely going by scouting reports, I've watched VERY little CBB.

MourningView posted:Ainge getting even more picks that he will try very hard to trade for a star, and it's defintiely gonna happen this time you guys Woj using his "repeat what the agent says" voice made it sound pretty unlikely in that last podcast, if that's any comfort to you. Basically he would need to be extremly wowed and he feels more loyalty to Quinn that Stevens at this point. I dunno. As far as the other stuff, if the Sixers can end up swinging this, more power to them. I knew when the Celtics got 1 that something goofy could happen, although I hoped it would be something goofy in the Lakers favor.

If it's one where they end up with like Brandon Knight, well, the only bright side is that if the Lakers are dumb enough to pick Ball, it's at least a more defensible (but still 4 spots too high) pick at 4 and at least they got Knight out of it.

It'd be weird if the Celtics 1) Wanted to draft Jackson 2) Wanted to move other assets for Butler/George 3) Had their eye on signing Hayward in free agency 4) Wanted to keep Jaylen Brown Right? Like, for all the fretting people did about Fultz + Isaiah playing together, the Celtics are strongly connected to way too many wings, especially considering the current makeup of their roster. My instinct is that Ainge just had the opportunity to get more Assets and was unable to resist

There's speculation that Fultz agreed to a competitive workout just to show Lonzo up. The the special Lonzo workout was them following him around for four hours and watching his routine. In a year of embarrassment this ranks up there. Beller posted:It's going to be really funny if Lonzo turns out to be the best player in this draft. If miracles are funny, sure.
