celtics ~30% chance of getting one of the top two picks http://www.celticsblog.com/2016/4/14/11429164/updated-boston-celtics-2016-nba-draft-odds

As a nuggets and celtics fan I wish this draft was better but maybe more international guys get in

nugs are gonna have to either make some sort of move or draft and stash, they're gonna have too many dudes
― k3vin k., Sunday, 17 April 2016 23:23 (eight years ago) link
they've been drafting well
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 April 2016 23:36 (eight years ago) link
The nuggets def have too many players... They're at least 2 deep at every position other than PG (and Augustin isn't half bad). although that includes 2 SFs who are always injured. Maybe time to move faried.

wait david thorpe sold me on simmons http://es.pn/1VeiQRM
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 21 May 2016 00:55 (eight years ago) link
wow, he is really high on him. as much as people have talked about length in recent years, it's interesting that simmons is notably not long for a 6'10" guy.
― circles, Saturday, 21 May 2016 03:59 (eight years ago) link
did not even realize he was that tall
― Spottie, Saturday, 21 May 2016 04:12 (eight years ago) link
yeah, maybe not, different sources have different numbers, and he didn't do the official combine measurements.
― circles, Saturday, 21 May 2016 04:25 (eight years ago) link
he does not look 6'10" irl, might be 6'8"

Concerns about Simmons?
The knock on Simmons as a shooter is somewhat overrated. Let's not forget that another do-it-all type of NBA star was not a good shooter in college. In two seasons, Kawhi Leonard shot 20.5 percent and 29.1 percent from 3, yet is a career 39-percent shooter in the NBA -- making 44 percent this season.
Simmons has a good-looking stroke, but he never looked as if he was willing to take 3-pointers, and was hesitant to take a lot of jump shots, period. Perhaps this was due to a coaching decision, as he was able to drive by or pass over most defenders. In the NBA, it is fair to expect he will shoot a lot of 3s and be at least good at it, in time.

yeah i am not sure how you get from 'he's not a good shooter' to 'he will shoot a lot of 3s and be good at it' that quickly
― ciderpress, Monday, 23 May 2016 00:05 (eight years ago) link
but simmons form is kinda terrible
― micah, Monday, 23 May 2016 01:02 (eight years ago) link
Still think this draft is terrible. This is the draft where I'm gonna be that guy finally.

is bumping this thread during the national anthem of game 7 like one of those lebron subtweets where he tweets about a game being shown on nba tv while the warriors are disemboweling a team on tnt
― J0rdan S., Monday, 20 June 2016 00:06 (eight years ago) link
anyway this draft is terrible, the celtics got screwed
blazers have no picks this draft. I am pretty non-committal about it. it will be interesting to see who gets simmons and whether he is worth his salt.

Absolutely

Who would you take with the second pick in this draft?
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 11 April 2018 04:43 (six years ago) link
guerschon yabusele
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 04:52 (six years ago) link
in all seriousness the top 3 are looking like sure fire allstars, simmons is obvs the best and ingram and brown are looking pretty even, id prob take brown if i had to choose but ingram cld easily turn out better he was a total revelation taking over ballhandling duties for the lakers this year, murray goes 4th then everyone else is looking pretty rough
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 04:57 (six years ago) link
o wait i missed taurean prince i like him too sabonis and brogdon are dece a few other guys will prob pan out to some extent, anyway its prob rare to have the best three players actually go in the top 3 spots but it looks like thats what happened here
