    Outside of landing Ingram somehow there is no three that is worth taking where our pick is projected to land

    If we pick at 6 or 7 i would say jaylen brown is def worth the pick.

    I have a funny feeling people would think Diamond Stone was awesome if he had played at Kentucky; could he be a starting NBA center? Watching guys like Alex Len develop has me thinking

    You think he falls to six? Their was a point he was listed as 3rd. If only he was a better shooter. I know he can be developed but would you start him over QPon or Cunningham with his current shooting?

    I haven't really watched him much. Look forward to seeing him in the tourney and figuring out what a think.

    I think it's very possible, I think the top 3 are going to be simmons, ingram, bender, after that the next 5 are gonna be a crapshoot between dunn, murray, hield, brown, and poeltl in any order IMO.

    I'd take brown just for the athleticism and defense ability alone. If he is there at 6 I'm all over that. 2 reasons, he can play either SG or SF and he can GUARD both positions too. I too am looking forward to seeing him play in the tournament along with a bunch of others.

    Would love to grab Brown. Kid has so much potential and would be a perfect fit here. Can play both SG and SF giving us more options in FA. His shot is not that bad and if he can steadily improve it he can be a very good shooter. I see him being a similiar player to Derozan if his shot stays average. I just don't think he will be there at 6 but you never know.

    What do you all think about Josh Hagins - Little Rock - G - Sr.

    22 y/o
    6'1
    180

    - Appears to be clutch
    - Nice step-back J
    - Nice handles
    - Good FT shooter

    Poeltl just took a leap up in the draft standings. In a game when the center isn't as important as good guard play, Poeltl went beast mode.
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    I like Poeltl also but I don't think we need to draft a center. We need a SG or SF so badly. Center in the least of this teams worries right now and I don't think Poeltl is that much better then what we will be picking to take him. This system thrives off of guard play and really the league does also especially when you already have a big man like AD. Don't think a high usage center that isn't much of a defender is what this team needs.

    Poeltl Didn't impress me much. He was a foot taller than everyone else, he should have been able to grab all the rebounds. I'd love a trade down with Toronto or Denver. Won't be a far drop and can pickup a late pick. I'd also grab Lulawu abound 10, then with the second 1st grab Trimble. I wouldn't be opposed to drafting a big and another sf with the second rounders. Even if we send him the the d-league we definitely need to develop a guy. Robinson from Florida would be the guy I'd grab along with Hammond from Purdue.

    Skal is going to be the best big man from this class. He started off slow but not everyone is going to just come in and dominate as a freshman. He shows some very promising flashes and I think his game translates best to the NBA. If he came here and trained with AD everyday his game could jump to the next level. Those two would both be able to switch guarding the 4 and 5 while playing both offensively. Can space the floor and would be a perfect fit for Gentrys system. Don't want a big man but if we went with one he would be my guy.

    Murray is a stud! I'm just afraid his draft position is higher then some think. If we can't get one the top two players in Simmons and Ingram then Murray is my guy.

    Yeah same here for me. If we win the lotto its Simmons or Ingram but if we remain at 6 I hope he is still there. Everyone else seems like much riskier picks. Murray plays with an aggressiveness this teams lacks. Great shooter without a doubt and plays smart, team basketball.

    I'm not saying I know he will be a superstar but I don't see how anyone could think this guy won't be a serious contributor to whatever team he is on.

    Julian Jacobs. Looking a bit like a Gerald Henderson out there.

    Providence is doing too much standing around. A 2-3 zone isn't exactly hard to beat. You know where the gaps are. Drive 'em. Move the rock around.

    That was a bad shot.

    What is up with that coaches hair? Did he lose a bet?

    That should have been a foul!

    Poeltl is real. Dude is going to put himself in that top 4 pick discussion if he has another game like tonight.

    USC, that's why you practice your free throws.

    Don't know what game you were watching but Kris Dunn did not play well at all tonight. Shooting 5-13 continually taking bad shot after bad shot. He seems to have the low BBall IQ this team doesn't need. Plus his injuries are the last team this needs. Has potential but much rather a few other guys over Dunn.

    We will get a good matchup in the next round with Sabonis and Gonzaga vs Poeltl. Poeltl can only help his stock with each of these match ups.

  23. #523
    I would love to get Taurean Prince in New Orleans. That kid has grit. The passion he showed today in that loss...crazy.

    sabonis is a beast. if we needed a PF he would be my guy.
