Event 2017 NBA draft thread - March 2017 edition

I am not impress neither with this guy it seem everytime I have watch him he would lay egg.

 

My idea was Leonard, Vonleh, our pick (12th?) And the CLE or MEM pick to BKN. BKN sends Lopez and Lin to MIL. They send Middleton here.

Would give BKN 4 firsts and a couple extra young players.

Would give MIL a lineup of
Lin / Brogdon / Giannis / Parker / Lopez

Would give us
Lillard / CJ / Middleton / ??? / Nurkic
Turner / AC / Harkless / Aminu / Ezeli??

We could then work out another trade for a PF, or use our MLE to sign Terrence Jones. Could bring back Ezeli on a minimum contract as well.

 

Wonder what the Tournament is going to do for Hartensteins stock. He's definitely going to be in our range one way or the other so there's no need to worry about that. I just wonder if the number of talented players in the tournament this year could cause someone like Hart who's not playing in it to fall a few spots. Would be awesome from a value standpoint if we didnt have to use our first pick on him.

 

I look at him kind of like a taller Dion Waiters, super streaky scorer.

Him and Isaac could carry FSU far. Seminoles live or die by these guys.

 

Miles Bridges has really come on lately. I like his skills for mid first round. He dunks every time. I like that

 

Not going happen no way I give up that many potential players for 1 player. Yes we do get rid of ML but we don't who could in our during draft night.

 

Honestly, Grayson Allen kind of intrigues me with our Cleveland pick. Brings grit, intensity, athleticism and size to the backup SG spot. Kind of Danny Ainge-like with more athleticism. A guy you hate, but love to have on your team.

 

Yeah where he lands will be interesting. He has a lot of talent and potential, but he just too annoying to root for.

 

How about this, assuming we use all our picks

1A. Hartenstein

1B. Adebayo

1C. Motley

 

I also like monte Morris as a backup pg type. Would compliment CJ well with his passing ability.

 

I think Monte Morris struggles at the NBA level. He's a good passer, but I don't see how he defends well or scores w/ even average efficiency

Zach Collins looked good defensively today vs. South Dakota State. Need to see him more vs. good comp, but if he can shoot the nba 3 and defend space + at the rim, he could be a steal with CLE pick and still pretty good value with our pick.

Still questions regarding whether he comes out this year, but if he shows well throughout the tournament, he probably should.

 

I think Isaac > Ingram

 

I wanna see Juwan Evans play. That dude is a sleeper if I ever saw one.

 

Markannen is extremely skilled on the offensive end. With the way the game is today and success of stretch Euros I doubt we will be able to land him. Maybe we could trade 2 of our first round picks to move up and get him if we really wanted to.

 

Kadeem Allen is on my pre draft workout schedule list.

 

I'm on the Ferguson hype train. Who ever gets him has a gem of a player.

 

Where's ferguson expected to go? I've seen everything from late lottery to end of the first.

 

The senior class this year is pretty awful as far as nba prospects go, but Kadeem Allen is one of the few that I think could make it.

Good size and athleticism, tenacious defender and improved 3pt stroke. Pretty good feel and smarts too.

He's not on many mocks right now, but he should definitely get drafted.

 

It's most likely that neither of the players we take with those picks would be as good as Middleton. If they would, it'd likely take them years to develop.

Id rather take one guy who is really, really good now, than 2 guys who might be solid later.
