2016 NBA Draft mega thread

Reminiscent of Wade. Dude's got ridiculous athleticism

 

I'd be up for that, but isn't he actually on the small-ish side for a NBA point guard? I imagine he'll be available early in the second round, so we should be able to nab him without too much effort if he's of interest to management.

 

Now if only we had a 2nd round pick in the next 3 years...

 

6'3" isn't huge but it's certainly not small..

Also, he just had a monster dunk on the Ducks.

 

Not huge....but has some ups....damn!!

 

They're easy to acquire. No biggie.

That would put him perhaps just barely on the small side of average, but I've also seen him listed at 6'2" and he doesn't look particularly tall on the court against college guys. Not that an inch makes enough difference to argue over, but I'd consider him at best average sized, not big. He's got skills and pedigree, though.

 

I wouldn't consider him big either but I don't think size will be an issue. He'll probably be able to guard most SGs pretty well too because of his strength and athleticism. He also looks like he has a decent wingspan.

 

Certainly no biggie....in fact that is all they may get offered for Kaman/Hendo. It's just been Olshey's history to trade them much more often than to acquire them.

 

Supposedly he has insane wingspan.

I imagine NOT.

 

What does being a player of the year candidate in college basketball have to do with where you'll be drafted for the NBA?

Nothing.

He's a mid 2nd rounder at best.

 

Dunn reminds me a lot of Dwayne Wade.

 

nbadraft.net has him at #37 and Draft Express has him at #46. That's close enough to a consensus for me, since they're two of the more trusted sources.

 

SHIT... With the Left...!

 

We shall see.

 

Yup. Players have shot up those boards before.

 

Has a mid-2nd rounder ever shot up the board to mid-1st round or higher? The big climbers are usually mid- to late-1st rounders who already have garnered the attention as not quite lottery material.

 

BRoy's climb was similar. Also, where did you get this draft? Would love to see similar trends for other players.

 

I assume #61 is what anyone considered "undrafted" material gets placed at? Lillard was really that low?

I guess my question should be rephrased, since anyone could be off the charts prior to their last year of college ball. Lillard was up to #22 early in his senior year, according to that chart. I would consider that to be where his draft climb started, not his early #47->38 ranking that would have been based largely on his junior year. Was that when he had the broken foot?
