2017 Draft Thread

[Handlogten's Heros]

He's not like lillard at all. His calling card will be defense.

Nice write-up here by the Ringer on Mitchell.



They had him 11 on their big board.

Apparently he has the highest vert. jump in the Combine, I think he has potential to improve on that.



What I like is his offensive mentality.

He did not. This is the NBA, you have to be in the 40s to be even close.

Iirc Frank Jackson did

So Justin Patton is going to Minnesota?

Yes, Bulls gave that pick to Minny.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

He's a nuclear athlete that can play either guard spot he has a giant wingspan and unlike Lyles he actually might take this **** seriously.

A good comparison for Mitchell would be Oladipo

 

[The Midnight]

His defense is a given, but I like his offensive mentality and shot making ability that's why I said he has a little Lillard in him. I never said he IS Lillard.

We save 1.4 m in salary too... minus the roster hold of 800k

Wait? We got a top 10 player in the draft, traded Trey Lyles, and saved money?

Jesus Christ

 

[jom2003]

Again, a great pick. But still should've taken a big man

Mitchell's wingspan makes him interesting

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Minnesota needs shooting and they took Patton (who is really a 5). I would have taken John Collins if I were Minny.

Absolutely.

And I had the best ****** I've had in months!

Denver might want OG Anunoby at 24 if he's there.

Well Patton can shoot. A lot of people have compared him to a less impressive KAT.

Most likely

 

[The Thriller]

Awesome!

If we can somehow lock in Kuzma or Bell, I'll be happy.

Hell, id love to figure out a way to unload Burks.

That's my homer pick for this draft

Knowing DL it'll be Burks for Beverly straight up lol.

Another pick for Sacto at 20. Wonder if the Jazz can step in and pick a big they want -- Lydon, Pasecniks, Allen, Anigbogu, Giles, OG...
