I like the Pacers draft this year.

Is he just super happy to make the 1st round?

I think so. He was injured most of the year and when he came back from injury he was trying to do too much because he was supposed to be The Guy which meant he could score 20+ or he could make one basket. Being able to just be healthy and part of a team where he isn�t expected to just be the #1 option, I think he will do pretty good

Maybe. He was the #6 guy in preseason and some people said that was too low. Had some injuries and a weird fit in college where he looked pretty bad. So I guess it's what you believe is real.

from one of the draft guys I follow:

The Pitch: Strong, big bodied scoring 4 who can shoot

Offensive Role: Smooth scorer and streak shooter who can catch fire with the best of them.

Defensive Role: Classic combo forward without a defined role on defense, but has some good traits

Khris Middleton? lol

Seems like a good pickup if he pans out. Could see him becoming a solid bench effort guy

Hooting and hollering about the Heat taking Jacquez. First UCLA player since Westbrook that I'll follow from college to the NBA. So excited to watch him play in the 4th with Jimmy.

Kobe Brown going in the 1st is pretty crazy. Maybe he keeps developing, he certainly did at Mizzou

Don't just stay up, get mad about your team passing on some guy in the 40s.

That seems light, I like it.

Guessing GG, Rupert, or Andre

Spinella had Kobe Brown in the first so it's not that shocking.

it's a funny phenomenon that the 2nd round these days is where the players i have actually heard of are drafted because i watch the big ten

Going to need a tweet to tell me who the Pacers actually drafted to play for them and what picks they traded to someone else.

Miller was very high on my list, I'm a big believer. I think he has a really high floor on offense and gets after it at defense. Could be a nice release valve for ANT MAN.

Huge man, great defensive instincts, darts around the floor so fast. Big dunks if you get it to him by the rim. Might never have dribbled a basketball before.

Unfortunately miller will languish and flounder in minnesota like a common layabout until he is traded and finds his true calling on the new jersey nets

Ooo, I like Leonard Miller there for the Wolves. He'll get development time and attention too.

You can always use a combo forward like that.

I was hoping for Andre when they moved up but yeah, seems like a good spot for Miller and I've got no complaints about taking part of the DLo return and using it here.

If he ends up able to credibly guard 3s, Ant-McDaniels-Miller-KAT-Gobert just feels fun in a couple years

It appears "plays defense" and "shoots poorly." AK is really good at getting a specific type of player...just wish it was a more useful type of guy...
