Face/Off introduced very important John Woo gun choreography (esp. the bit where both actors have their pistols braced against the other's forehead) to American film, and Bloodsport was by far JCVD's best movie about a secret fighting tournament, don't even try to compare it to Lionheart or Kickboxer or The Quest or No Retreat, No Surrender yes I know technically JCVD's Hard Target was Woo's first western film but c'mon Transformers 3 was the best of the Transformers movies but that doesn't mean much

I might revise this again (especially the second round) before the draft but here is my current mock, more of an attempt at prediction than BPA order. I tried to factor in need and who teams worked out if I had any question about a pick, but am welcome to feedback from people following their teams more closely than me.code:

Kurucs withdrew from the draft, Hawks U will have to find another amorphous wing to be their next enrollee.

Malik Monk would be kind of a surprise for the Timberwolves. I think they are far more interested in veteran help at the wing rather than bringing in another young piece there. I would guess they either take Lauri Markkanen in that situation or DSJ (who they have worked out) if he's available as Thibs continues his quest to replace Rubio. If Isaac falls the Wolves were very interested there, but I think Isaac has a promise at #4.

Ford's latest. If anyone wants the capsule for any player/team let me know. 1. Philadelphia 76ers (via Celtics) - Markelle Fultz 2. Los Angeles Lakers - Lonzo Ball 3. Boston Celtics (via 76ers) - Josh Jackson 4. Phoenix Suns - Jayson Tatum 5. Sacramento Kings (via 76ers) - De'Aaron Fox 6. Orlando Magic - Jonathan Isaac 7. Minnesota Timberwolves - Lauri Markkanen 8. New York Knicks - Frank Ntilikina 9. Dallas Mavericks - Dennis Smith 10. Sacramento Kings (via Pelicans) - Zach Collins 11. Charlotte Hornets - Malik Monk 12. Detroit Pistons - Luke Kennard 13. Denver Nuggets - OG Anunoby 14. Miami Heat - Donovan Mitchell 15. Portland Trail Blazers - Harry Giles 16. Chicago Bulls - John Collins 17. Milwaukee Bucks - Ike Anigbogu 18. Indiana Pacers - TJ Leaf 19. Atlanta Hawks - Justin Patton 20. Portland Trail Blazers (via Grizzlies) - Edrice Adebayo 21. Oklahoma City Thunder - Justin Jackson 22. Brooklyn Nets (via Wizards) - Anzejs Pasecniks 23. Toronto Raptors (via Clippers) - Jonah Bolden 24. Utah Jazz - Tony Bradley 25. Orlando Magic (via Raptors) - Jarrett Allen 26. Portland Trail Blazers (via Cavaliers) - Isaiah Hartenstein 27. Brooklyn Nets (via Celtics) - Terrance Ferguson 28. L.A. Lakers (via Rockets) - D.J. Wilson 29. San Antonio Spurs - Josh Hart 30. Utah Jazz (via Warriors) - Tyler Lydon Monk to Charlotte is basically their best-case scenario so I'd be down for this.

Monk is a total Vivek player but I hope we take him if he's there at #10. I'd rather try to turn him into a combo guard than add Collins to the mix and try to navigate that maze

Portland has so many loving first round picks. You have to assume they trade at least one and maybe two. I hate Luke Kennard to the Pistons, unathletic wings are scary, they spook me. Players with his run/jump athleticism as NBA starters are rare. I can think of D'angelo Russel, JJ Red Dick and younger Kyle Korver, otherwise you're thinking backups like Nik Stauskas and Tyler Ennis. That means he has to be an elite shooter and a very good playmaker to ever be a starter. Is he? I'd rather play it safe and go Mitchell or Collins (bleh)/mybe trade with portland and get Anuboby and Hartenstein if they don't like anyone who's mocked 11-14. Mitchell isn't a prototypical starter, but he'd make their bench better and be KCP insurance. i have the same reservations about him now as I did when he rose after combine measurements, but guys with his physical profile tend to do well, and he looks decent on video.

At least he has all NBA potential I dont see him dropping past Detroit not earlier than Charlotte. So 11 or 12. I think he could be a real good 6th man, which is good value late lottery.

the Sixers sent their own 2017 first-round pick, No. 3, to Boston, as well as the 2018 first-round selection they received from the Los Angeles Lakers as part of a separate deal made at the 2015 NBA trade deadline. More: quote:Of note, however, is that the Lakers’ pick going to the Celtics will come with key protections, covering next year’s first overall pick, and picks 6 through 30. Should the pick ultimately fall in those ranges, and subsequently not convey to the C’s, Boston will then be entitled to the better of either the Sixers' own 2019 first-round selection, or the 2019 first-round pick the Sixers acquired from a July 2015 swap with the Sacramento Kings. edit: also this thread is moving too slow, I have questions. Can someone who understands the NBA better than me (admittedly very easy to do) explain why Boston isn't going to use all these assets to make a major go at Anthony Davis? That seems logical to me. kiimo fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Jun 19, 2017 |

Every time the Mavs are asked about trading Matthews they say no but who knows. Mavs are under the cap, so you don't need to match salary. You only need to match if the trade takes you over the cap. But I don't know why the Timberwolves would drop down several spots just to give up a player on a pretty good salary. Maybe if Matthews is coming back and you think he'll recover from his Achilles but I dunno.

It seems like there might be a good chance Dennis Smith might drop to NY and it kills me that his workout with us was canceled. I'd be happy with either Monk or Ntilikina I guess. Frank doesn't look very explosive TBH.

Because when he was 18he was tall and could shoot but didn't have the insane passing, ball handling and post game. He was a big slow body with high iq and a jumper. He really developed every facet of his game

The Celtics might have enough if Anthony Davis was on like his 2nd to last year of the contract, but nobody is trading someone who league-wide considers a future MVP with four years left on his deal.
