MourningView posted:Doing a mock this far out is kinda dumb since the order is still really in flux and presumably they call it that mostly so they'll pop up when people google "NBA mock draft" Yeah, at this far out it is basically just a Draft Board, with team logos next to it. They don't start accounting for needs until draft orders start to become more certain But yeah, they are by far the best publicly available draft site, and I wish they would branch out to the NFL

I still can't believe the Cavs took Anthony Bennet #1. I mean, its not like the expected #1 Oladipo has turned into a superstar, but man, they were like the only people on earth who saw something in Bennett

Rick posted:There isn't much that can really be done, Simmons wasn't cleared to play until April, but it's really too bad we didn't get to see him play any to know how realistic the idea of him playing PG like they claim they want to do is. Yes you want as many ballhandlers as possible but if all he can do is handle the ball and is as bad of a shooter as he was when we last saw him it limits Philly's ability to draft someone without a great jumper. Yeah, its the difference between a Lamar Odom or LeBron or Magic Johnson. They were all great ball handlers for PF sized dudes, but only Magic actually truly played PG

I could be totally wrong but I also like DLo so I hope I'm not The team plays way better when he is at PG, even though he tends to take less dumbass three when playing offball

Redgrendel2001 posted:For whatever reason, workouts with the Lakers always yield great verts; e.g. I think Luke Kennard notched a 38 inch veet in his workout. From an article on it last year, the Lakers give players a much longer running start for their jumps, but have measurements going back to the 80s using their system. Apparently, they feel that it provides a more realistic idea of what a player can do on a fast break or something

kingcobweb posted:I'm more bullish on Ball than you are. He reminds me more of Ricky Rubio back when he first came into the league: a lanky, low-usage, pass-first PG with questionable scoring ability. Ball has better length and athleticism, can actually dunk instead of constantly getting his shots blocked like Rubio did/does, and (by the numbers DraftExpress uses) has the best 2P% in the draft class. Of course, Ball is more highly touted than Rubio was, Rubio had actually played professionally before coming here, and even then we knew that Rubio could make passes that were only possible via resolving third-level Wizard spells rather than anything regarding basketball. Ball's passing is good, but you can at least watch it and understand how he accomplished it. Brook Lopez might just put up the shittiest 30ppg season ever next season
