Following 2016 potential draftees

I kinda wanna trade Burks for another late lottery pick (maybe Phoenix or Chicago would be interested), to grab both Beasley and Luwawu. Obviously other pieces would have to be involved for salary purposes, but adding two potential 3&D wings to this squad would be awesome.

Not really--there are only two prospects I particularly like in comparison to where they're projected to go. Many mocks have them going significantly lower than where we're picking. When you combine that with all the assets we have, obtaining both of them is certainly feasible.

I just think we could get more then a late first in an average draft for burks.

Not sure tbh. He's been so injury prone. Getting a late lottery pick for him seems like decent value IMO.

Ahh you wanted a late lottery. That seems about right. I would rather sign a player in free agency

If it ends up getting the same players, then it doesn't matter where the picks are exactly. Luwawu is Luwawu; Beasley is Beasley. If trading Burks gets us one of them, then I would consider that good value.

So.. who would you take if you had the number 3 pick in this draft??

Some already good/successful teams have picks in that range from bad teams suffering the aftermath of mismanagement. (Nets, Knicks)
Really hard to say pre lottery draw.
Looking at tankathon, if the Cs(via Brooklyn) keep the 3rd position, I'd just trade it together with some lesser picks for DeMarcus.

Let's say the Lakers drop to #4/5 and have to surrender the pick to Philly, it would really depend on where Philly's other #1 lands.
They stay #1 and get Ingram, then you evaluate Embiid long term, but are ready to surrender either Nerlens and/or the other clown to upgrade at guard.
You bring Saric in and play huge wings like the Bucks do, but have ****ing Embiid potentially down low to back your huge wings up and try to manufacture the #1 defense.
It would also make sense for them to trade down for an extra asset to select Murray.

Everyone else either has to select whoever they think is BPA because their roster is so depleted that they need maximum talent influx(LAL,PHX,NOLA,Kings) or they still want to select BPA because the pieces they have are so flexible that they really will make it work(T-Wolves, Nuggets)

Considering the outside chance of 6.5% of the Bucks to sneak in, they could also give Jamal Murray a hard look if you consider the rest of the roster and how hard they crave shooting and how much Jason Kidd values size.
 
I was wondering... which player in our pick-range has the highest basketball I.Q.?

Denzel Valentine is the highest IQ player in this draft period.
Coaches son
Coached by Tom Izzo for 4 years. Was same kind of leader and stat stuffer at MSU as Draymond Green was. Green said it best when he called Valentine a guard version of himself.
 
Are you calling Okafor a clown? Why? Because he is a kid who has done some dumb immature things? Id hardly call him a clown for that.

Jamal Murray has bust written all over him if he goes top 5... His potential is 6th man off a bench.. To slow to guard point guards and not tall or athletic enough to guard your big sgs of the leagie., I am sorry but top 5 picks should be starters. Not 6th men.
 
We lack an enforcer on the court and we could use another wing presence. Gobert is the closest thing we have. At this moment in the draft, I like what I have read about Valentine the most. But when it comes to drafting, in DL I trust.
