Literally impossible.

We had holes everywhere. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, bench, everything.

Simply picking a guy, any guy, could potentially fill a need.

one draft isn't going to fill multiple holes

there's an inappropriate joke to be made here 

 

[essential1]

I would like us to sneak in the late 40s if Upshaw is still there

 

[licensed to ball]

Wish we pulled RJ, but love the youth overall.

Russell, Randle, Clarkson, Brown, Black, Nance.

Kobe, Swaggy and possibly LMA.

2016 gives us 25 mil to spend + whatever in added cap.


This is why you tank.

Repped for being nice when bringing up the tank.
I honestly expected 100 I told you so's tonight so I had to be honest and give you props on keeping things positive.


I'm glad everything worked out well.

Anthony Brown, SF, Stanford

My Rank: 23 | Consensus Rank: 33

If you're looking to find the next Khris Middleton in this year's draft, look no further than Anthony Brown. The Stanford senior is one of the elite spot-up shooters in this class, draining 44.1 percent of his threes. He is excellent at relocating off-ball and shooting on the move, which bodes well for his ability to shoot off screens.

Like Middleton, Brown enters the NBA as an average athlete. But what teams overlooked with Middleton -- effort and basketball IQ -- are the same attributes they will find in Brown.

"I fit in pretty well as a 3-and-D guy," Brown told SB Nation at the combine. "You see a lot of 3-and-D guys today that are pretty successful, whether it's Danny Green or Khris Middleton. That's something I'm definitely hoping to start off on and be right away."

Brown has a deep understanding of who he is as a basketball player, which will only help his career as a role player. In time, Brown could develop in the same way Middleton did to become one of the league's premier 3-and-D wings.

DX on him

Brown will need to make his living at the next level as a shooter, especially in catch and shoot situations, where he shot 45.1% in all such situations according to Synergy Sports Technology. His 1.31 points per possession with his feet set is the second best mark in this draft, and is a valuable skill when paired with his size, which allows him to get his shot off effectively against other players his height. He's also effective shooting off screens, as he prepares himself nicely for jumpers, gathering himself, catching and firing away in one smooth and fluid motion. He has excellent footwork and balance, squaring his shoulders nicely with strong fundamentals. He is improving at shooting off the dribble, best when he takes one or two dribbles to step past a defender closing out, instead of trying to get to the rim himself.

I thought he was a catch and shoot type but he can handle the ball and attack.

Not bad.

 

[CP1708]

No worries LTB, I been happy since we got past the Boogie rumors.

Love the youth assembled. Love it. Modern era ball right here. And if they pull LMA, how could anyone hate that?

Or....

If they pull Tobias and keep Ed Davis????

It's fine...Form is similar to James Jones to be honest.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Will happily renew my League Pass this season.

 

[essential1]

Mitch.. Please get Robert Upshaw.. Please.. If nothing to have him sit on the bench, and see if there is anything there.

 

[CP1708]

A hustle defender who doesn't need the ball.
A ball distributor with size that can shoot.
A 3 and D wing.
A power power forward
A versatile PG/SG with size that can dish, finish, and shoot
