The NBA Draft Thread

Lakers are in a no lose situation, barring they keep the pick. Get a 2 way wing to pair with Ingram on the perimeter. Or one of the two dynamo PGs who will fit seamlessly into Luke's system to compliment D'Lo and run the team. I'm just anxious for draft lottery night now.
 
Yeah I think you're confusing things a bit...Just because people were talking about how they were impressed by what he was doing doesn't mean that we would want to take him in the top 5. Even if his worst case scenario is Tobias Harris, that still isn't bad.
 
I'd go with Jackson if I'm LAL
Makes sense.

But at the same time, I can't tell if you're serious or trying to sell the Lakers a lemon. :lol 8o

I usually am, but I've been a fan of Josh Jackson for a few years. I think he has it and he definitely showed it against Michigan state.

I hate the lakers and hope they don't get a pick. But if they do land #2, they'd be fools to pass up on Josh. He's a dog.

The hater in me says take Ball.

lool at the Sacramento Apocalypse 3.0

"Sacramento Apocalypse 3.0: In one achingly realistic scenario, the Kings could win the lottery, New Orleans could finish second or third … and the Kings would end up with only the sixth or seventh pick, followed by Vlade Divac probably taking Harry Giles without knowing that he’s missing both ACLs."

This is literally the least likely scenario :lol. Not realistic at all. Kings won't be a punchline much longer
 
I never really thought of Boston picking anywhere outside #1, but if they do.. Josh Jackson, Crowder and Brown versatility

They still gonna need rim protection though. :lol


But then again, they going to have another great pick in 2018.

That's true. I figured they were going to address that in free agency or trade

I always figured they'd draft fultz at #1 but say they fall out and get #2 or #3, Jackson would be crazy in that lineup too

Boston having all these years with top 3 picks all while being a playoff team. Hinkie would be proud
 
Ok? He did move out of the bust zone for me. Never said I'd take him at the top or near it

I mean where do you think he's gonna get picked? It all depends on what you need but it's definitely very possible Fultz, Ball, Jackson, Fox, Monk, Smith, Isaac and Markannen all go before him and that would be fantastic value for a player as good as Tatum.

I think he could get picked as high as #4, with the way scouts, analysts and GM's rave about him

I would be weary of taking him before Fultz, Ball, Jackson, Monk, Smith Isaac and maybe Lauri. My whole thing with Tatum coming into the year was I'd be disappointed if I ended up with him, like a weak consolation prize.. now I wouldn't be mad if I got him outside the top 6. I'm not nearly as low on him as the others in here

Our Euro stash (Ante Zizic) is coming over for next season. He's been dropping double doubles pretty consistently in Euroleague play since he joined this Turkish team that David Blatt is coaching. Before he made that move he was dominating the Adriatic League (where Jokic and Nurkic were playing). Has a really high motor. Will probably be kinda like Zubac for the Lakers. Might not be the rim protector that we're looking for, but at least he'll be a big body.

Will probably have to wait until 2018 for a true rim protector. Luckily there are a lot of good big man prospects.
 
I can see Aaron Gordon and Tatum switch up their matchups every now and then.

I like Tatum with the Magic. I think it fits well. But then again, this coming from a Sixers fan who hopes they stay leave Monk for us to grab. Besides, they already have Fournier at the 2.

Bamba or Ayton would be perfect, preferably Bamba.


Kid is going to be a different level of a rim protector, 7'8 wingspan and growing + he's mobile with a jumper and plays above the rim even though he can basically dunk from the floor.
