Event 2017 NBA draft thread - March 2017 edition

Due to Duke don't use Giles with there offense and he goes in out of the game so quick it hard to tell how far along he is from his injuries. But where he can make hay is the individual workouts. I see good things by him and also he show his inexperience at times. Would I draft him yes if his knees are sound and he show something on his workouts. But due to our recent history I think Neil shy away from him.

 

I have a question for the forum, let's say we get lucky and win the lottery. Would you draft Fultz/Ball and trade CJ, draft Jackson and keep CJ, or trade the pick for a Jimmy Butler (or a superstar that's available)?

 

No I wouldn't take fultz or ball due to we got CJ and Dame. Now I would either take Jackson or Tatum with that pick. Or I would exchange draft picks maybe Philly and future 1st round draft picks. They got so far 4th pick this year so should get my player I want and get 2018 1st from Philly.

 

Keep CJ and trade for Butler. I would never trade a proven player (CJ) for a maybe (draft pick), unless that proven players contract was running out and knew he wasn't coming back.

 

What are you trading for Butler?

 

The first pick in the draft

 

And we're getting that how?

 

Allen Crabbe and a first round pick plus Ezeli's expiring contract

 

Would you take that for our best player?

 

shhhhhh....ok, they can have Meyers too.....but Butler isn't happy in Chicago so that's a factor...

 

Read the thread.

 

But getting lucky and winning the lottery would mean we'd miss the playoffs, and that would be negative. Haven't you been preaching from that high horse of yours about me being negative? Or is it ok when it serves your agenda?

 

I've agreed with you already about this, but Bell seems like a great guy to have on the roster

 

What the actual fuck are you talking about?

I didn't come up with that scenario, are you legitimately slow?

 

Fight me.

 

I like Collins, I'm with you. He fits our team.

 

Then explain how wed get the first pick

 

Bell ranked one of the top defenders in college basketball this season.

Worst idea to trade our picks and players for a star and snag some 2nd rounders with cash and grab Bell, Boucher and Brooks?

 

John Collins is such a boring player. Does like 4 different things on a basketball floor. Right hand hook, turn and face 15' footer, pick & seal finishes, and dump off dunks. That's literally 95% of his offense. Will make a nice block on the defense, but overall is low IQ / foul prone / apathetic on that end.

Oh and most of this video is just him taking advantage of Duke's garbage defense.

He's 19 and really good at the few things he does, good on the boards and probably will hang as a back-up 4, but he's been one of the least enjoyable prospects for me to watch.
