The NBA Draft Thread

[B Sox]

Don't see Minnesota passing on Isaac for Lauri.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

With thibbs I just highly doubt he goes for lauri

But maybe he has a change of heart or someone vetos him

 

[carver]

If Isaac is there hes the pick

Louisville is my college basketball team but even I wouldn't take Donovan Mitchell until the second

 

[ballinsam23]

They're saying Mitchell at 8 to the Knicks now. I hope we're not that high on him.

Who's reporting this? I think our pick will be DSJr or Frank.

Berman saw it on rotoworld though

He has potential especially with a 6'10 wingspan but yeah I never heard any top 10 type of buzz for him at any point during the season

 

[jesse pinkman]

Yes hard to believe Issac slipping. He is perfect to play 46 minutes a night and die under thibbs.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

I've been seeing Donovan Mitchell in the lottery all over recent mocks.

Did he grow 3 inches or something? 

 

[pmatic]

 

[nick.]

Interesting...

 

[Moheezy]

That is super interesting. Especially the Josh Howard comparison for Jackson. It also shows that Fox's potential is very high if he puts it together.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

The further you get down the list the less credible it seems. Jordan Bell..

 

[ballinsam23]

That's because he didn't include garbage players/busts. Mainly used rotation players, starters, and stars.

I actually really like the Kemba comparison for DSJ and Josh Howard for Jackson.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah that's crazy research that he did and seemed super interesting until you realize that he's returning steve Nash's all 4 seasons and one of cp's for juwun Evans. And I really like Evans

You can't just directly compare stats (no matter how advanced) over eras of college ball because of how much the game, even in college has changed

Not to mention taking into account team systems and pace

I would like to see him have done this comparison with every class. Seems like it's just a formula to make everyone seem inflated being that he's only using particular players of a certain criteria as comparisons

 

[buc em]

DSJ best comparisons would be Kemba/Baron Davis/Steve Francis. Much more vertically explosive than Kemba so he compares more to the other two in that aspect.

 

[youngthundercat]

trying to figure out how Fultz get the iverson comparsion...so odd

 

[ballinsam23]

Hardaway, a bit flashier, is a real good comparison too for Fultz' ceiling. Man if he could be somewhere between Roy and Penny

Still think at 19 Fultz can grow another inch.

 

[nick.]

trying to figure out how Fultz get the iverson comparsion...so odd

Fultz has elite size for a PG, he's more efficent, & not as flashy as Iverson

Definitely weird

 

[osh kosh bosh]

different caliber of shooter.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Matt Boner>>

 

[B Sox]

different caliber of shooter.

Nah dude has bust written all over him

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Him being able to shoot is not the issue tho. It's everything else he doesn't do. See how the 6 foot guy is getting all the rebounds? Sign of things to come

 

[nick.]

If you're awful on the defensive end of the floor you better be damn good on offense.

 

[ballinsam23]

Everyone knows he's an elite shooter. Hitting 18 corner 3s in a row in practice isn't something i'd be getting excited about.

Tatum hit 10+ in a row the other day, and Frank hit 27 out of 30 3s last month at the Jordan gym.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Matt Bonner was a very effective NBA player for a long time, despite only being able to shoot on spot ups.
