Event 2018 NBA Draft

Is this Doncic guy really as good as they say? Or is he the next Jimmer Milicic?

 

Yes.

No.

 

He has unlimited range but he’s scrawny and I’m not sure about an all white front court, not to mention 2/3 of them from Bosnia.

Edit: got my europeans confused

 

Vlade Divac? Not an All Star, I don't think, but pretty good.

 

Edit: i thought you were talking about the SF Musa from Bosnia, never mind my racist remarks.

 

Have you watched a lot of his games? What are you basing it on? Just wondering.

 

Doncic is the ubershit

 

Yeah, I watch most european leagues, especially acb (the Spanish one Doncic plays in)

He’s for real. Generational player imo. He’s a teenager playing against grown men and dominating. His basketball IQ is off the charts. I don’t think there’s any risk with him, the only question is how good he’ll be and what position he plays. I think he’ll be better than Ben Simmons, and fill a similar role.

 

Hutchison is my first-round value pick this year.

He could be this years Kuzma.

 

I like Hutchinson as well. I’m just skeptical that he will be available by our pick. Imo this draft is pretty top heavy then it becomes pretty messy and teams will probably start taking project players or relatively unknowns by the 16th pick. Hutchinson is one of the better players in that category so I worry he will be taken around pick 18-20.

If we can move up a couple spots I bet we could land him. I also wouldn’t mind taking Hachimura out of Gonzaga in the late first, if he declares.

 

Yeah the good thing is it really wouldn’t be that hard to move up a couple spots if we needed to, especially outside the lottery. It seems like so many teams are in cost save mode and most playoff teams that are drafting in our range would probably be ok sliding down and saving a little $.

Hutchison would be so perfect, and I could easily see Olshey target him. He has a history of going after his guys. This shouldn’t be different.

 

Awesome. The league needs a new star.

 

I’d give up Swanigan and our pick to move up to pick him if needed. Would you? Swanigan is redundant on our roster, although i wouldn’t be suprised if he turns into a decent player. I just don’t think his value on our team will reach a level higher than the value of a potential young starting SF on a rookie scale deal.

Im not a big Olshey fan but the draft is one of the avenues I trust him in. I think his confidence level going into the draft probably increases the chance we move up.

 

Yeah I’d trade Swanigan to move up.

But it probably wouldn’t take much more than a second. Might actually be more valuable than Swanigan since it wouldn’t be added to a teams payroll.

 

White American Born Centers

White American Born Centers

 

I see Miles Bridges has been falling and is out of top 10 in most new mocks, meaning it could be possible to move up to get him. If not, where we will be drafting (between 23 and 27) there project to be quite a few athletic wings - the likes of Hutchinson, Bates-Diop and Hunter seem EXACTLY what we need.

 

Really like Gary Clark out of Cincinnati. Could be a nice Cheif replacement. Better on both ends Mbah A Moute is his upside imo.

I like Hutchinson.. the other two... idk... Bates-Diop can't do much with the ball at the NBA level other than shoot.. Hunter I don't know Mich about.
