What's new

Following 2016 potential draftees

Something to notice from today - nobody traded a 2017 first round pick today! GMs love the 2017 draft. And it's worth pointing out just how many 2017 draft picks we have:

2017 Utah first round pick
2017 GSW unprotected first round pick
2017 Utah second round pick
2017 Detroit second round pick
2017 New York second round pick
2017 Golden State second round pick

We are set up very well to make some splash and maneuver around the draft next year.

I've never rooted for injuries so badly. Curry, Thompson, Green.
 
Cool to see somebody picked Wang Zhelin. Most people were acting like dude doesn't even exist any more in terms of NBA potential the past few years despite the fact that he owned Hoop Summit, has played well in the Chinese league, has tree trunks for legs, and would easily go 20/10 playing at a US college. But oh no, he has a normal wingspan. Stay clear.

Although I think a lot that is his country screwing him over. I think it was the Chinese government that prevented him from entering the draft a few years ago when he was a hotter prospect.

Sixers get quite a haul with Simmons, Korkmaz and Luwawu in the first round. Maybe people don't want to admit it, but the Sixers' tank-a-thon might actually pay off if Embiid can play.

Embiid
Noel
Simmons
Luwawu

I love what they did in the draft this year
 
Jazz should've kept Isaiah Whitehead, I think he's gonna be really good. The Knicks were willing to trade into the 1st rd to get him. He's got 1st rd talent.
 
Man so far this draft class has played like *** their rookie year. Malcom Brogdon would probably be ROTY if this wasnt Embiid's first year.
 
Simmons has been traveling with the team recently and doing pre-game warmups he's close.

This is not the draft to judge early, so many stashed/young players. Brandon Ingram looks like he's going to keep getting better and will be a damn good player sooner than later IMO. Their 2nd rd pick Zubac is gonna prove to be a major steal. He was beasting in the D-League
