Wow, 6'6.25" w/o shoes for McDermott. That's small even for a small ball PF. I think that's probably below average for a SF anymore.

Cigar Aficionado posted:I can't imagine the Cavs will have the balls to draft Embiid with no medical records, especially with the spectre of Bennett hanging over them. It has to be Wiggins, which I think is the right pick anyway. This isn't an issue, the top 3 will absolutely be allowed to review Embiid's medical records.

Actually it's because Cleveland is going to trade future all-star Dion Waiters so they can pay Embiid

Probably Magic posted:And the Cavs, Bucks, and Sixers are in such "need now" modes that they can't really afford to do projects Only the Cavs are really in a need now mode. And that's mainly because their owner wants to make the playoffs asap. The Bucks and the Sixers are going to be bad for a while and absolutely have time for a project.

kiimo posted:Oh that's good, he's projected around 12 but go ahead and say idiotic poo poo and drop yourself to 17 and immediately cost yourself about 1.5m from the get-go. It's even dumber considering that a lot of the teams that would be interested in him around there would be really good options. Draftexpress have Charlotte taking him at 9 (Jordan's team, need a PF, just made the playoffs), after that is Philly, who have the ROY, Noel, and the #3 pick, then Denver, who are a playoff team when healthy and would probably be interested, next is Orlando who's PF spot is up for grabs and have the #4 pick, and then Minny who might be trading Kevin Love.

morestuff posted:Charlotte's probably going to re-sign Josh McRoberts, and they just took Cody Zeller, so they don't really need a power forward. I think it'd be an interesting pick, though, even if he stays in Europe a year. From what I understand he can play both forward spots, and Zeller can hopefully slide to center (especially as he gains muscle). Yeah I guess "need a PF" is hyperbole. I thought that Cody Zeller was more of a center, but I haven't watched the Bobcats much recently.

Moving up seems to have gotten harder recently. I think teams want to avoid looking like Chicago did when they swapped Aldridge for Tyrus Thomas.

EvanTH posted:Hah well the Knicks have the Thunder's second round pick so I think they'll get Embiid with that. According to realgm's list, that pick went to Toronto as part of the Bargnani trade. http://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/future_drafts/detailed All NY has in the next 4 years are their 2015 and 2017 first rounds picks and maybe their 2016 second round pick depending on where it falls.

quote:I'd say his red flags are that he has absolutely no outside game, but I don't know why you would ever want him playing outside of the paint anyways. I guess it could create some paint spacing problems for his team if he can't rotate to the wing though. Unless Randle is paired with one of the 5 centers in the league who are a threat on offense other teams are going to just put a center on him and shut him down.

The Glumslinger posted:You could literally say that about any PF in the draft, its a really dumb argument True, but teams make a guess about who can develop an outside game and who can't. The consensus seems to be that Randle probably won't.
