Following potential 2015 draftees

scoring 18 points on 15 shots isn't a bad night. If that was Trey's average, then people would be generally high on him.

Depends how many free throws he had.

He's thin/weak. His upside is shooting. I am not all that hyped on bigs that promise to stretch the floor but not defensively elite. It's a real reach when doing so.

Browse through the top10 defenses in the NBA. You won't find a lot of defensive minded good PFs. Gobert is my rim protector. I dont care about the rest. I just want a big wing to defend Durant.

Let me pose a question for us guys. Lets say we get pick 7. If we have the chance to get into top 3 by trading the package of (#7, OKC 2017, GS2017), do we do it? Do you think any team would take that trade?

I think we should do it. The question is who else might consider giving that away?
If I look at Tankathon for pick debt, the teams that might consider trading that away are Minnesota and Denver. Maybe Sacramento, because Ranadive!
But I think these trades would be last minute depending who goes 1 and 2.
Does anyone know the restrictions of that OKC Pick? Depending on restrictions a GM might bet on Durant leaving.
Denver is apparently planning a full overhaul. They could be like: Hezonja at 7 over Mudiay/Towns at 3. Hezonja can both be brought over later or immediately.
Minnesota may value the extra picks especially if they are like: Rubio - LaVine - Wiggins are their backcourt and Dieng+Pekovic their Centers. They could look into WCS as a big if they try to move Pekovic or Porzingis as an extra stretch 4.

I know you love Hezonja, but Johnson is such a safe pick because of his defensive ability wouldn't you say? His offense also seems to be coming around as well plus he is more physical than Hezonja and physicality we all know is what you need to succeed in the NBA. (except may be Steph Curry)

Dirk, overly physical. Nash was super physical for a decade. Tim Duncan wasn't about footwork, angles, fakes. He was brute force!
Tony parker isnt nimble. He's a bully. Lillard and LaMarcus aren't great shooters. They are lowpost threats.
Melo's go to move isn't the jab step, it's his left hook and the drop step.
All of Atlanta's possessions are about brute force and initiating contact.
Paul George. He broke his leg while trying to bully his opponent.
Chris Paul, classic bully. Blake Griffin's game doesn't include high flying, he isn't using his speed to cut into space to dunk.
Anthony Davis isn't all about his mobility, quickness, length and good feet. He's 100% postup and trying to finish through contact all the time.

He was having another great game today, but I had to leave at some point and didn't watch it to the end.

Now I am reading that he finished with 12pts(5/9FG, 2/4 3P FG), 1 rb in 14 minutes in the semi-final of the Spanish cup.
 
In the first 4.5 minutes, Towns has 4pts, 2rbs, and 3blks.

how many decks has he sucked?

Towns has played 17 minutes so far.

17pts (7/8 FG - 3/3 FT)
9rbs
2asts
4blks

He's been awesome. I like him more than Okafor... Think his game will translate better.
