Official 2015 NBA Draft Thread

I thought Portis would go before Lyles. Surprised

 

[SojoDave]

Decker > Lyles

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Guess I'll change my sig

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Sam Dekker to Houston is a good fit.

 

[8]

It's official. Lyles is the best player in this draft.

The Knicks are trading Tim Hardaway to the Hawks, who will draft Jerian Grant for the Knicks, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Would've been okay with Dekker.

 

[idiot]

He's taller than Favors, and could weigh 260 once he fills out. Could easily play center against small ball lineups.

Wouldn't have necessarily been my first choice, but this is the hope, with his multiple skills, that he's a perfect small-ball big if toughens up a bit.

 

[Hekate]

Knicks get Jerian Grant, Hawks get Hardaway. I thought Hawks would select Portis. He would have been a great fit for them. Great steal for Knicks.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I'd say Grant is a better prospect than Hardaway Jr.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Knicks getting Jerian Grant for Hardaway.

Good pick up.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz could maybe still flip Trey to Cleveland for 24 and pick up Hunter?

 

[cowhide]

All you haters at least give him the summer league before you thrash him completely.

Listened to 700 am for a minute....

Lyles is a 4, he is not long enough enough to gaurd 5, nor quick enough to gaurd 3. He is a stretch 4 who shot less than 20% from 3, and 37% from the field. He is not a defender, not gifted scorer. Not long, not fast. Radio heads can't figure it nor can the ever positive coach Chiesa who could only describe him as a long term project which makes zero sense.

Turned it over to the 1280 crew,

Monsoon says, lyles has a great looking shooting stroke, he just doesn't make a lot...my head nearly exploded.

Damn Jazz, I can't wait for this Kentucky trash project to get traded in 2019 for a European scrub and a second round pick.

That does not sound good

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Phil Jackson is apparently comparing Porzingis to a young Pau Gasol.

Maybe they're keeping him.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think the Jazz are comfortable with their wings. They probably want to see what Burks can do.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Lyles can play. He can do just about everything for a guy the size of Al Horford.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I'd say Grant is a better prospect than Hardaway Jr.

I don't know. I think Hardaway will be really solid for Atlanta.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Grant is a nice pick-up for the Knicks.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

So no trades in the lottery?
