What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

He also thinks Kanter is going to get a "huge" deal in free agency, so...

Good catch... Right now the most likely outcome will be QO and he stays around for one more year.

Anyone else think Okafor may not end up going first? I think there are a few teams near the top that just don't make a lot of sense for him. I personally would hope the jazz would go a different direction should we win the lotto.
 
Hezonja's shot is so sweet! He's got 22 points for FC Barcelona against Real Madrid in the 4th quarter... Scored 3s in 3 possessions in a row...

Finished the game with 22pts(8/14 FG, 5/9 3P FG, 1/2 FT), 1rb, 1ast, 2 to... was pretty much the only Barcelona player who played well... they lost by 24

I really think Mario might be the best wing in the draft when it's all said and done.

He's got the size, athleticism, shooters touch, and competitiveness to be a star.

Okafor is still considered the most sure-fire asset in the draft. The teams at the top of the draft would most likely take him first and worry about sorting out the talent later. If they're not quite sold, they might consider trading the pick, but Okafor would still go #1 in all probability.

The only guy who could supplant Okafor would be Russell if he just keeps going off and off. Or, maybe Towns if he dominates in the tournament.

I think teams must be under-representing their interest in Hezonja. I can't see how he drops to #9 or #10. He's like a taller, longer Manu Ginobli. All-star talent.
 
Yes, I can. And I can also imagine them still finding a way to suck.

If all they have is rookies and 2nd-3d year players they will suck. Any team will suck with so many young players. BTW I absolutely love their effort. I don't know if you guys follow them and watch their games, but they are playing damn hard! They lack offensive talent and experience, but it's really interesting to see how good they are defensively with such a young team.
 
PKM what is your/do you have an opinion on Jordan Mickey?

https://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/66256/jordan-mickey

The dude is putting up monster stats in SEC play, just ridiculous numbers.

He is averaging:

16.4 ppg
10.9 rpg
3.7 bpg
1.6 apg
1.0 spg

Just insane numbers for a 2nd year PF.


He is undoubtedly undersized at a reported 6'7.5 in shoes, but he has a massive 7'2 wingspan and has a huge frame and is pretty athletic.

DX currently has him as a 2nd round pick next year, but he has to be a late first rounder this year, right? Can't find any videos of him online, but he is a beast, very early Millsapian.

Oubre had a massive wingspan too!!
 
In our range, I definitely want Johnson or Mario. I could see either one of them rounding out our future starting 5.

Love the guy as a college player. He was in my top 5 guys in the SEC in the preseason. Problem I have with him in the pros is he lacks the range and the handles to be anything but an undersized PF. LOVE him at this level but I just don't see it in the next.
