2016 NBA DRAFT

cant beat kentuky gotta join em

yeah and UNC has basically swung back the other direction, it's interesting

ingram was basically seen as a UNC lock for several years but ended up going w/ duke in the end

for a while it seemed like going w a second tier team that ran nba offense and didnt have other stars was the way to juice draft stock but calipari changed the math via putting 6 guys in the first round every year

allens got 22 w 2 left in the 1st

i haven't watched him at all, is he good or just college good

hell be a pro but prob not that great

tho when u can shoot anything is possible

hes projected as a bubble 1st rounder now

wait hold on there's another plumlee?

theres an endless supply of plumlees

i think the thing w/ allen is that he's only listed at 6' 5" so he's more a combo guard than a 3 and d guy. if he was 2 or 3 inches taller he would be a lottery pick. i.e. he's much more skilled than sam dekker but dekker has enough height to play on the wing.

but l feel like a lot of teams still have pretty poor guard depth. a lot of teams frankly don't even have three good guards so i feel like there's def a place for him in the league as a scorer off the bench.

im a plumlee but when my family immigrated from plumland they changed their family name to bison bc thats the english equivalent

six four/five is plenty big to play the nba 2 if he really is that big, but seems like he doesnt have great athleticism either so

he's not unathletic!

i think weirdly he can really jump but isn't that fast or quick laterally

wwhen he was 11 should have prayed to god for overall athletic abilities instead of "dear god please let me dunk good"

yeah allen doesnt look super quick out there idk

buddy hield??

he had an absolutely insane shooting year but it kinda came out of nowhere and hes old

but if he can really shoot like that...

idk i'm not convinced that age should be held against guys who could really play as upperclassmen. he can really play imo

his shot looked unbelievable tonight and you have a pretty high floor if you can shoot like that. i think the question about him is if he's athletic/quick enough to consistently generate his own shot but given how the game is right now that shot would still make him a pretty valuable player.

seniors drafted in the first round in the last 3 years

frank kaminsky
jerian grant
delon wright
larry nance jr
doug mcdermott
adreian payne
shabazz napier
cj wilcox
josh heustis
cj mccollum
mason plumlee
solomon hill
tyler zeller
andrew nicholson
miles plumlee
festus ezili
jimmer fredette
nolan smith
kenneth faried
jajuan johnson
norris cole
jimmy butler

not exactly the most encouraging group. butler the only franchise player, faried and mccollum arguably close. a lot of role players and busts in that group. also had draymond and jae crowder as second round seniors.

obv if buddy is this good of a shooter it would be almost impossible for him to not be a valuable nba player http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2016/3/22/11259826/buddy-hield-stephen-curry-three-point-shooting-nba-draft-ncaa-tournament

that his shot pretty much came out of nowhere this year might be a little concerning but it looks really damn good

er that's the last 5 years i mean on the draft list

I figure he'll be taken somewhere between picks 10 and 20.

no way he lasts to 10

wasnt damian a senior taken in the last 5 years?

nah jr. might have been a fourth year jr. tho?

huh yeah i think he was 22, figured he was a sr.

he was a 4-year player, he's more or less a senior and belongs in the same discussion as the rest of those guys

feel like hield should at least be as good as mccollum. fwiw mccollum also just had an insane shooting year as a senior.

some guys are late bloomers whatcha gonna do

a single season can be fluky tho especially when youre a grown man playing against teens

like this is dumb

he cld be a great shooter he cld also be just a good shooter

lol that red trendline really illuminates that he got better then regressed then improved again huh we are truly in the age of data

its a testament to his remarkable work ethic

hield moved up from 10 to 5 in chad fords 100

or maybe that was xpress that had him at 10, anyway hes at 7 there now

he shd give tip steph if he goes top 5

hield moved up from 10 to 5 in chad fords 100

check back in a few years to see where he ends up

haha

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

Fuck the Celtics.

rude

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

they've been drafting well

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.

guerschon yabusele

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

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
