The NBA Draft Thread

[MVP]

D'lo should take notes from Andre Miller and Chauncy Billips on how to operate in the post. He has the length and size to be effective from the post. I think that can make him much more versatile as a PG exploiting mismatches against smaller PGs. He should use his size advantage since he is playing like he got weights in his ankles.

It's also consistent with him working on his footwork.

He'll be able to do more of these things once he's moved off ball. Really can't do much of that now as he's charged to get the rest of the team involved. His best asset is as a scorer not necessarily a shooter though.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I was critical of him as a PG but he's been much better lately. I'm confident in him running the offense going forward

 

[JustBlaze.]

Clearly no surprise but Dennis Smith Jr. officially declares.

What team could use him the most, I know he's a freak athlete, not sure about the other aspects of his game.

I remember him saying that he always considered himself as a SG. I do think he will be more effective in a position he feels he is more suited for.

He's still raw, but a team in need of a PG like the Knicks stands out.

I hope he falls to Dallas. I wonder how Orlando feels about Payton

 

[Moheezy]

I was just going to say. Dallas seems like the perfect fit for him. I do hope he ends up there. Dallas should stop with the winning.

As for Orlando, it doesn't matter because Rob Hannigan will be gone by this summer. It will be up to the new GM to decide what to do with the current Roster.

They not committed to him as a starter, he would be much better off the bench...Ball or Fultz would be my wishlist as a Magic fan if we have some lottery luck

 

[B Sox]

Really liking John Collins game...

Word. The improvement in his game from last year to this year is astounding.

 

[ballinsam23]

I think Smith ends up in Orlando.

 

[B Sox]

Yup. It's the exact kind of development that you're looking for in a big man and he doesn't even turn 20 until September. Really young for a Sophomore.

 

[youngthundercat]

Always said DLo would be better off the ball

 

[pmatic]

This is why Randle and Ingram's development are important moving forward.

Looks like he can fall anywhere between 12 and 20.

This is my first time watching Collins, his pick and roll game and post up is pretty solid. You don't see that too often nowadays.

 

[awwsome]

Didn't know Collins was so young, he's basically the same age as Josh Jackson.

 

[B Sox]

He's 7 months younger than Jackson.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

He's 7 months younger than Jackson.

Josh Jackson spend 5 years in high school or something ?

 

[awwsome]

He's 7 months younger than Jackson.

Jesus.

 

[wavycrocket]

How'd I miss the Dollywood slander

Sam Cassell with no heart. He ard. Won't be a "Star"....but Dlo will be a solid rotational player/starter for years to come.

 

[dacomeup]

Damn, did not realize that Jackson is already 20.

He'll be 21 before the AS break next season

Too much Lakers talk in this thread....for a team that won't even have a pick

Pray y'all lose the pick
