The 2015 NBA Draft Thread: Draft Day Is Here

[Vincent Van Goat]

Lakers can't afford to take anyone else than Okafor

He will be drawing double teams early in his career

 

[awwsome]

Wiggins and Towns for the next 10+ years.

They gotta hire a real coach now.

Don't get me wrong, I think Porzingis can be really good. But saying anyone is a combination of Durant, Nowitzki & Kirilenko is insane.

It's especially not fair to the player, because no one can live up to those expectations. Hell, Anthony Davis isn't that and he's incredible

Will they be content with Rubio? Who would you choose to pair with Wiggins/Towns?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

[OrangeBlueGarden]

Karl Anthony Towns doesn't seem like a wise pick in my opinion

honestly.. IF it were me, I would see what I could get for him.. also would try to unload anyone not named wiggins and towns (and I guess lavine.. unless I could get a decent offer)

Hearing Lakers settling in on Jahlil Okafor at No. 2. Told 70-30 they'd take him on Friday. Up to 80-20 today.

it's from Ford so y'all gonna take Porzingis

 

[antidope]

The Porzingis hype has just gotten out of control is the the problem. Chad Fords out here calling him the next Dirk and talking about first overall pick just angering folk. Three weeks ago we were all at a happy medium, he's a lottery pick and could max out a 3-4 then Chad Ford got bored and starting hammering away at the keyboard

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Believe in Krispy!!!

 

[essential1]

From an offensive standpoint. Okafor would be a nice fit for TWolves, if they could find someone to take Pekovic.

Have Rubio & Wiggins good defenders on the perimeter. Just need to find the right guy to put next to Okafor defensively at the 4. Or get a Defensive Minded Backup.

Also Rubio is a great distributor, and have a nice high / option in Wiggins & Okafor.



But Towns is more well rounded as a player, and has so much upside that it is the right choice at # 1. Add onto Wiggins potential it's just too damn much to pass on him.

 

[carver]

Chad is definitely on one 

Putting those kind of expectations on a 19yo kid is gonna ruin him.. he'll never be able to live up that cmon ford you better than that.

 

[essential1]

He basically called the Lakers cowards for not seriously considering Porzingis.. So not a chance

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Towns loves to play defense (and is fully capable) and his offensive potential is off the charts. It's a no brainer

 

[bhzmafia14]

Thoughts on Jarell Martin and Delon Wright? I think the Grizz are pretty high on both guys. I'm sure a team drafting Martin would hope for him to be a mix between a poor man's Draymond and Paul Millsap just in term's of size and versastility. Coming to Memphis could make Martin much more willing to defender, which could definitely boosts his value as a versatile forwrad. I realize he's a poor rebounder as well, which is something MIllsap dominated in CBB. All in all, I think he ends up being more Jared Dudley (more athletic) than anything as I expect him to improve his jumper.

Delon Wright is who I'm really intrigued by. Would make the perfect complement to Conley in spurts and he brings the best of both worlds (Beno and Calathes) in terms of being a good defender and scoring guard.

Yeah that's why I said it was.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah that's why I said it was.

I was talking to the other guy who said it wasn't wise to take Towns

Teams that let Mudiay slide will regret it immensely.

Knicks will scoop em at #4

We had Pau already for a couple years. I don't want him back. 

 

[earldagoat]

It's alright if Porzingis doesn't really ever pan out

. 

Chad Fraud will simply go back & retroactively edit his draft board.

Thank you for this hot take.

You want this to be true so bad.

Okafor is taller than KAT?
