Official 2015 NBA Draft Thread

[Hekate]

Spurs to select Nikola Milutinov with 26. I selected him with 45 in our mock draft. Nice pick.

Looney really dropping....to the point he shouldn't have come in the draft.

 

[Avery]

ESPN has been right about 10% of the time tonight on who they think will get picked.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Lyles is more of a true stretch 4/wing to me. I think he'd work well in a PnR.

So what role would you see Looney playing for this team? 4th string PF?

 

[zyzz]

Think the Lakers will take Looney?

I think Lyles can play the 5 a bit coming off the bench. Booker is likely here only one more year so there's some minutes. He could probably swallow some minutes from Baby Sap as well.

Guess what I'm getting to is Looney gives you the ability to play some small ball but with length. I think he could play multiple positions coming off the bench. We're not looking for a starter this late, but I have to think that Looney is better than a parade of ten day contract players that round out our roster.

What do you like about Rozier?

His strength and instincts make him an interesting nba prospect, he's a change of pace for sure. He can press, he's relentless defensively, you'd have to be ultra-competitive to play defense like that.. he handles like an east coast guard, shifty and fearless, shows good hands, quick feet and good anticipation. plus he's very explosive, when I first saw him dunking I thought it looked kinda Steve Francis-esqe. he's was by no measure efficent offensively but he pulled his weight for Louisville, and he' can get hot, he 'flashes' enough for me to like the gamble.

I did think he was a better NBA prospect than Andrew Harrison coming into the college season FWIW.

 

[Ron Mexico]

I dont see a role for another Rookie on this team unless we make a trade.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Lyles 10 spots ahead of Portis. I wouldn't have called that.

 

[Game6Conley]

I friggin hate that San Antonio pick btw.

Larry Nance Jr?!?!?!

 

[Avery]

Nance looks like he should be selling Vivint door to door.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Arent Looney and Lyles kinda the same role? Seems pointless.

Looney can shoot. And rebound. On a bum leg.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Lyles is a solid replacement for Kanter. Not phenomenal, but solid.

 

[stormkoopacv03]

Whoa! Nance Jr? Surprise 1sr rounder.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Larry Nance before Looney?

Damn, Looney is falling hard.

I liked what I saw from the Nance videos though. I thought he would be a good pick in the 2nd round.

 

[zyzz]

I'm surprised RJ Hunter fell this far. I'm not surprised Montrezl Harrell is falling and won't be surprised if he falls out of the first round.
