Following potential 2013 draftees

Just finished almost 9 hours of rubbing elbows with UK coaching staff (and all the '14 guys), lots of NBA FO.. scouts.. media.. Awesome time at Churchill Downs/Millionaires Row.

Voice is gone (my wife is thankful).

Will put my mock together tonight or tomorrow.
 
Noel, Len, Adams, Olynyk and Gobert are all bigs I could picture playing on a contending team.

McCollum, Goodwin, Rice Jr., Shabazz, Oladipo could play at this level too.

They're all tough, skilled athletes.

I'm actually starting to think this draft is a strong one, if you start from #4 onwards.

I think we've been saying that for a while now... starting with Cy.

Credits where credits due I guess.

I don't remember Hitchcock movies, but remember liking "Vertigo."

Watching the NBA Finals here, I really want skilled length and scorers: McCollum, Olynyk, Giannis

I think Giannis can eventually become like Chris Bosh with a shorter neck.

You're missing out if you enjoy classy, clever, suspense drama.

- Rope
- Dial M for murder
- Northwestern
- The Birds
etc, etc

All great classics.
 
Okay - I think it's going to be Schroeder (14), Giannis/Karasev/Bullock (21), and Jean-Charles/Goodwin/Southerland (46). I'm pumped.

I think the chance that Dallas takes Schroeder is in the 10% - 15% range.....unless they're taking him for another team (Boston or Milwaukee).

If we get Adams/Olynyk (14), Wolters (21), and Jean-Charles/Goodwin (46), I'm still pumped.

I like Gobert too, but I'm a bit worried about his foot speed.

If we trade #14, #21 and #46 to the Wolves to get McCollum (9) and Bullock (26) with the Wolves' picks, I'm still quite reasonably pumped.

Well that's certainly a strategy. Another strategy mentioned here earlier which I really like is trade #14 and #21 for OKC's #12 and #29.

Who says no?

It's likely they'll still be able to get either Gobert/Adams at #14 anyway, plus they get a better pick at #21.

We can get Schroeder at #12 and at least one of Bullock/Snell/Rice Jnr should still be around at #29. The talent between 25-35 is so flat there.

.....or one with both Shabazz and Schroeder on the board, and we still take Olynyk. That would be pretty deflating. I don't think we'd do it though. With Lindsey, KOC, Sloan and Phil Johnson, that's a pretty solid braintrust.

I suspect you're right.

Hopefully there isn't too many cooks int he kitchen. The KOC, Sloan & Johnson crew hasn't had a very good drafting record have they?

I'd much prefer Lindsey to have the final say.
 
I'm not confident that OKC would do that trade with us. There's a difference between the player they get at #12 and the player they at #14, especially if Dallas keeps their pick and takes a big.

So about we trade #14, #21 and #46 to the T'wolves in return for their #9 and #26? We'd get McCollum or Shabazz at #9 and get Giannis, Bullock or Hardaway Jr. at #26.

Funny to think about but it would be a meltdown that would make the Hayward booing sound as though people were in church. I am not a big fan of Olynyk regardless.

No way the Wolves would do that. They definitely want Bazz or McCollum and they definitely won't be there at #14.


If OKC is looking at Gobert & Adams and are not bothered either way, they've got nothing to lose. We'll take Schroeder at #12. DAL could take Gobert, then OKC will simply pick off Adams.

I don't see a problem with that whatsoeva.

You're assuming OKC thinks Adams and Gobert are about equal. They're not. The other thing is that the Wolves want a SG with size, not McCollum. They might take Shabazz, but they reportedly really like KCP. So they would take KCP, move their second pick up from 26 to 21 and get a 2nd-round pick for their trouble. It's a good deal for them. Wolves fans were proposing this on their RealGM board.
