What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

What do you think the value of a second round pick is?

Say that after the Jazz pick #14, they also have their eye on someone who they're worried might be picked before #21. Do you think they could package #21 with #46 to move up a bit? (Celtics #16 seem to be the obvious target, since they don't have a second round pick, but maybe it's unlikely for the Celtics to bite).

It may be the case that the Jazz don't really want three rookies at one time (or if Tomic is in play, it could be four).

McLemore
Porter
Shabaz
Maybe Len, Maybe Bennett, Maybe Burke


Noel scares me, maybe he shouldn't. But a his game was based on elite athleticism--and he is hurt. And I remember the likes of Hashem Thabeet, Bismack Biyombo, Hassan Whiteside who were all super athlete bigs who blocked alot of shots and didn't pan out. Even Davis was less than expected last year. I also wonder if he gets the benifit of the doubt because he is a Kentucky player, and 'look at all the kentucky players in the NBA' which is true but I think it can make people gloss over flaws. Of course I could be wrong and he could be the next Anthony Davis, but won't there be another Anthony Davis or Demarcus Cousins, or Enes Kanter or another Noel next year or the next or the next? Seems like the athletic big project is an abundant renewable resource especially compared to elite wing players.

Noel was on track to beat Davis' blocked shots AND Rondo's steal record. Dude is a defensive beast. Having said that, I'm pretty meh on him really... not much offensive game at all.

As I've said many times, I don't see a hell of a lot of difference from 1 - 15.
 
Just because I don't see much of a sure thing, I'd consider reaching for Burke at 3.. but that's more a testament to how weak the draft is than how great I think Burke will be.

watch us win the lottery this year. in a meh year.
 
Can someone please enlighten me as to who started talking about Aminu?

I've got a neg coming their way.
Who do you think.

that's how I feel about this draft.

I'd still **** my pants. Though.
Btw, about the most ridiculous think I've ever seen DX do is have Smart going ahead of Parker. Just terrible.

where do you think Smart will go next year?
 
With that logic. .. take Smart #1 then, right? Moran.

It's a mock of a draft that's a year away.......... Smart made himself the possible number one pick this year before deciding to return. Meanwhile Jabari and the others haven't played a single second in college. I would take him number one just because the others haven't proven anything yet besides being dominant in HS.
