Draft Prospects Discussion

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

this may have some consequences of our draft possibilities
Brown - may give us chance on Murray/Dunn/Hield
Rabb - I we will trade down - give us chance for a better prospect (he might be selected in the lottery - doesn't fits our needs)

Hearing from multiple sources Ivan Rabb @YoungIvee leaning towards returning to Cal for soph season. Jaylen Brown @FCHWPO deadline decision

If they don't declare our chances on Heild, Murray and Dunn decrease.

Geezus show shallow would the draft be then?

Brown has to declare...

Pawel is da man

[Caffeinedisastr]

I don't know why Trimble, Bentil, or Hammond would be there but a lot of mocks have them falling and that is who I would grab. Jake Layman would be an honorable mention here.

Indeed. I think this draft is pretty deep compared to the past few years.
Lots of upper classmen talent. If Dell sees someone he likes, he could move up to get them as well.

Tailor make the pick to fit the need.

It would definitely improve our chances to get someone we could use.

BTW, thanks for all the work you're putting in with your posts on the draft.
It has not gone unnoticed.

[pawel]

Thanks guys.
Doing it also for me

Jesus if Brown don't declare then I'll break a window.

I acutally want Brown to stay in college another year, he seems to me to be the type of player who would benfit immensley from another year in college, polishing his skills.

I think he is crazy if he does stay in college. Your probably not going to get much better than the 10th pick next year and could actually fall if you don't improve. This year he could go as high as 3 but doubt he falls lower than 10-12. I think staying in school for an education is a wise decision but I doubt that is running through his head.

[JrueDat]

Brown is fools gold. Just like Aminu was and to an extent MKG

[Silverfoxx]

You guys are missing the point. If Brown declare, that means one of our guys will slide to us. If he stays, then we may be forced to take someone who we won't like

[Spaniard]

As long as we stay 6 or higher, we pick from Simmons, Ingram, Bender, Heild, Murray and Dunn. I'm good with that. Bender would be a really strange fit on many levels, but 6 is still a good spot to be. It's only if we drop to 7 that I get nervous.

[pawel]

That's why it is good to have Brown available for top7.
He is SF. Everybody wants young SF...

[ramsters60]

I really respect many of MM's player evaluations and he took a look at several 2nd round possibilities... some things about Paul Zipser that really caught my eye...

[GuardianAngel25]

If certain players aren't there I would have no problem drafting Brown. Not everybody dominates as a freshman which is likely the case for him. Some players skill set is better suited for the NBA rules and space then it is for college and Brown fits in that category to me. Just look at someone like Leonard who took a few years to develop and he didn't leave as a freshman. Any player we get will need to be developed and Brown doesn't scare me anymore then most of the other prospects. He has all the talent in the world and just needs a little coaching/development to take the next step. I'm all for player development and Brown would be a great player to do that with.

[MistaWhoDat]

My top 5

1. Simmons
2. Ingram
3. Dunn
4. Heild

This is who I'm taking in that order whenever we pick and who ever is still on the board .

i got a feeling we take Bender and ppl will not like it, but unlike Porzingis he wont get much PT and will underwhelm

[Lelicans]

Indeed. I think this draft is pretty deep compared to the past few years.

From what I've read, the consensus is the complete opposite of this.

[Silverfoxx]

Lmao no way in hell this draft is deep.
