Sounded like you guys had a lot of fun with Tony. Enjoyed it.

Well, if that's the case, let's go for it then. We're rebuilding. The time is now. The more picks, the better the chance of hitting a home run.

I want that Raptor's #9 pick.

Yeah, I like Clifford as well. A team like the Celtics would probably want to grab him, too, if they could. Cedric Coward is another one for me. The dude's got tremendous upside in my opinion.

It’ll be fun to see how this shakes out. On average, every draft class has 5 to 6 players who will eventually become All-Stars. My top candidates to get there from this draft are Cooper, Harper, Edgecombe, Kasparas, and Coward.

I like Kon. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jazz selected him.

You gotta get him a Cy pill ASAP ... unless you think all teams agree and the Jazz pick him with #21.

He can decide. We won’t fight over this since we’re both in the Kas camp.

I'll go with Kasparas “the friendly ghost” Jakucionis ... but I'd change "friendly" into "nasty"

Yeah, and this Hansen guy is pretty funny with his Lauri hate too. He doesn’t realize it’s become an obsession for him and that it makes him look a bit weird when he pushes it so hard.

That’s a good list, but you forgot “unselfishness/team player” – crucial to winning a championship. We saw what happened to the Cavs when they threw away their team play with Mitchell’s hero ball in their games against the Pacers.

Right, it's an uphill climb for him. But like teams always do with their young players, we'll give him a chance and see how it goes, and if it's not happening for him, we'll move on.

Who knows, maybe Cody can punch like Latrell did.

Yeah, but comps can be a useful tool when done right - when they compare a draft prospect with NBA players who, before entering the NBA, were similar to the prospect in question (age, skillset, archetype, playing style, physical attributes, etc), and then see how these NBA players developed over...

This thread is getting a bit out of hand here. Anyone who's followed basketball long enough should know that a 19-year-old's first year in the NBA doesn't always predict what he'll become later.

Well, he didn't say that.

I agree. They’ll probably extend JJJ and keep Ja for now unless he wants to leave. And they now have assets to make other trades too, either this offseason or later.

The Grizzlies could have a big fish hook deep in the ocean now.

Interesting. I like it because this upcoming draft has a bunch of players in the #10-25 range who I think have a good shot at being great players.

Sad to see you hop off the Kas bus lol. I guess you started to doubt his shooting ability. To me, there are a lot of signs that he will be a good shooter in the NBA. He's got solid mechanics, sank 85% of his free throws, and shot well in many games before the shooting fell off (not sure if his...
