The 2015 NBA Draft Thread: Draft Day Is Here

 
That's coolio....I hope Towns (or whomever decides this for him) doesn't opt to be a 3 point shooter in the league. I want to see 7ft dudes dominate in the paint. 


JohnnyRed, aren't you part of the media?

End of the day I am and will always be a writer. I'm not nor ever will count myself as a member of the media. Just a guy that likes analyzing sports through the written and spoken word.

do you mind writing for free for an undisclosed amount of time? :lol:

think whoever takes Lyles after the lottery is gonna be getting a solid player. wanna see the Pacers take Big Frank as well. Rockets gotta be leaning toward RJ Hunter, right?

Like OKB said, the right team with the right system can let Okafor be successful in today's NBA.

It might not be the best fit for every team and might take a little more patience, but a big man that skilled? You pick him and try to figure it out.

I personally just like KAT better, but if the Knicks had the #2 and wound up with Okafor, I would have been thrilled.

And Knicks fans are upset because it's just such a classic Knicks thing to have happened. They win a couple meaningless games down the stretch, they're  the one to move further back in the draft, and miss out on one of the big men who they desperately need. If they end up with Mudiay, he'll fill a great need for the team and it'll be a positive step in the right direction.

it's definitely not as bad as twitter & the media are making it seem. it's the "cool thing to do" to make fun of the Knicks

Mudiay could step right in & produce. also, i think he's a better pure PG than Russell. we'll see what happens on June 25th.
 
"You can have a better three-point shooting team by having a force down low." In reference to Okafor.

"All the reports that said Towns was an inch taller than Okafor, but Okafor looked like he was two inches taller than Towns."

"The question you ask yourself is D'Angelo a combination of Steph Curry and James Harden. That's the MVP and the runner-up for MVP right there."

Flip's gotta be trolling
 
russy westbrook/cp/conley

all former number four picks

dont know why knick fans so upset
You really can't understand why someone would prefer their team get the number 1 pick over number 4?

I'm over it now because either way we're getting a good player but I'd have preferred we get to choose instead of getting the leftovers.
 
Apparently Shmurda and Drummond have already been reaching out to Stanley saying that they want him on the squad.
 
we end up with Dekker or Kaminsky & i'll burn all my Knicks stuff on the steps of MSG
 
There is no similarity between Mudiay and Exum. There was zero footage of Exum

I do however don't take a high school career as my 100%, number 1 indicator of where they should go in the NBA draft

For instance, you bring up Okafor being seen as a clear top pick coming into the college season. I THOUGHT THE SAME THING as well but I did change my mind once Towns started doing his thing. Does that mean I "put too much stock into one year of college ball"? So be it, I'll take Towns #1 and not look back. There are a lot of INTELLIGENT folks who have Towns as #1 and not Okafor. Do they put too much stock into one year of college ball too?
its more about the face of the nba and both those guys have different tools that effect wins and loses , if okafur ends up being al jefferson/brook Lopez he might not ever lead a team solo into the playoffs but someone like Tim Duncan/Marc Gasol projects better in the NBA for a team looking to win playoff a playoff series or two .
