The NBA Draft Thread

[osh kosh bosh]

If I felt really confident that Brandon Ingram was a true talent 40% 3 point shooter, I would go Igram at 1. but for most teams I would stick with Ben SImmons probably.

It will be a tough choice I think for most teams, it will depend on if you can afford to gamble.

 

[carver]

I was thinking about that earlier.. Is there a team out there that would go Ingram over Simmons

That SI mock draft is lazy af imo

 

[ValarMorghulis]

A 6'10 version of Rajon Rondo tho?

 

[finallyfamous]

Whether or not Simmons is the clear cut #1 (probably not) I still find it hard to believe he doesn't go #1

After the top 10 who gives a damn... all that is basically pulled out their *** es

 

[frshstunna]

That SI mock was by Andrew sharp , he doesn't do serious writing

Doesn't have Brice Johnson at all in the 1st round... Im hoping he just forgot him

neither does DX or Chad Ford.

being 6'9, a senoir, not being able to shoot, not being a good defensive player, he could totally not go in the first round.


I think he will go late 1st because he plays for UNC and they likely will make a big tourney run but should he? I'm honestly not sure.

 

[buc em]

I personally think Brice Johnson will really help a team at the next level.

 

[youngthundercat]

yo you tripping if you think Brice can't shoot. Now on the defensive side yea I think he's flawed. But offensively he has few weaknesses.

 

[brandon3000]

Celtics with 3 first round picks :x

 

[B Sox]

Celtics with 3 first round picks :x

If they don't land in the top 2 or wind up trading a bunch of the picks for some sort of star, those picks will all be pretty useless...

 

[ValarMorghulis]

I think Kevin Love goes on draft night

 

[B Sox]

I think Kevin Love goes on draft night

Outside of a shot blocking center, Love is pretty much exactly what the Celtics need...

he ca't shoot 3's and if your PF can't shoot 3's and isn't an elite defensive player then he can't really start for a good team.

Brice is similar to Tristan Thompson in a sense. He can be a contributor.

He's REALLY explosive going up. Took him a while, but he filled out and became productive. I was really low on him coming out of HS.

i think Taj Gibson 

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Tristan Thompson and Taj were an awesome defender in college tho.


Reminds me more of Branden Wright.

a not that good defender who blocks shots and offensive rebounds.

well yea you pretty much right there. idk if you have to be locked to strictly 3's to space the floor tho. i think he can be a legit mid range knockdown shooter tho. 

 

[jaydee]

what you guys think about dedric lawson

 

[buc em]

I think Brice is a hellllllllll of a lot better player than Brandan Wright
