2016 NBA DRAFT

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

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.

wait david thorpe sold me on simmons http://es.pn/1VeiQRM

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.

did not even realize he was that tall

yeah, maybe not, different sources have different numbers, and he didn't do the official combine measurements.

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.

[waves hands until they fall off]

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

but simmons form is kinda terrible

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

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?

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
