For real doe... It should probably be Randle

[b_line]

I would much rather have Vonleh or Gordon than Randle. Not sold on Smart yet, but I like him slightly more than Randle.

What really pisses me off though is that we basically could have drafted in the same 5-9 slots and kept Millsap. But we wouldn't have the GS picks though. So we have to see if Millsap plus pick 10 in this draft > 2014 Picks 5 and 23 + 2017 GS pick. That is basically what we traded for.

I read that the Cavs are leaning toward Embiid at number 1. If he does not go there, there is a slim chance he could fall to 5. Even slimmer Jabari could fall to us. Out of the top 4, Exum is our best hope.

Just say no to Randle though.

a lot of people projected him as a starter. He was consistently mocked in the top10. I'm not sure he is a "star", but he's a good #2 guy.



He'll be able to play there. He won't be a guy that you run a lot of plays for, but he should have a couple of spots he like to shoot 3s from, and plenty of garbage points. He's there for defense.

^same things were said about Kawhi

I don't understand how people think Kawhi is a good #2 option, but then people think Hayward is not even close to a #2 option.


Damn it. We just needed a top 4 pick. We have so many complementary players. Sucks.

this.

****, braughs, did you watch any of the ATL-Indy series? We should all be missing the hell out of Millsap.

Millsap + 10th pick > Julius Randle. Any day of the ****ing week.

Lol. What did we see in the ATL/Indy series we should be missing? Was it the 39% FGs, the 33% 3pt, the 3 TOs per game? The disappearing act offensively in the last two games when his team needed just one win? He rebounded well in the series - I'll give him that, but he's proven to be a mediocre rebounder anyway. Basically, if you like early playoff exits or just missing the playoffs, Millsap is your guy.

I guarantee you Gordon will be able to play the 3. He'll do some minutes at the 4 because small-ball is effective at times. BUT KAWHI PLAYS SPOT MINUTES AT 4, TOO.

I'm warming to the idea of Gordon. Gotta see how workouts go.

Seeing as Millsap is probably Randle's best case scenario, this is quite telling as to whether we should draft Randle or not.

I agree. If Millsap is Randle's best case, they should not draft Randle at 5.

I just don't see the Millsap Randle comparison at all

Millsap was bringing it. I don't know anybody who actually watched the series and disagrees.

More than that. He made a lot of really smart plays. I also remember a lot of shots with the shot clock about to expire. I wonder how many he was forced to take? Anyway, even at 40%... he scored 19.4 on 14.7 shots.

All this is to say that, for the next handful of seasons, Millsap is going to be a better player than whomever we draft at 5. That puts things into a strange perspective for me.

If you are undersized and have a limited offensive game, yet can rebound , people compare you to Millsap so people will be optimistic you will eventually get an offensive game.
