Post Your Draft Board
Re: Post Your Draft Board
I'm there with you guys on a number of these teams. When I mock, I usually have Toronto taking either Kyle Anderson or Tyler Ennis.
I think the team that's really missing the mark is Sacramento. All this talk about them wanting to move the 8th pick when the exact players they need are going to be there. Aaron Gordon, Elfrid Payton, Marcus Smart, and Doug McDermott are all perfect for them. I get that they're tired of losing, are growing impatient, and got burned with Thomas Robinson, but I still feel they're making a mistake. It didn't help that McLemore was awful last year.

Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

It's nothing that I'm hearing. I just think, at the end of the day, they're going to feel better about drafting Wiggins than they do drafting Embiid.Sunsfan4life wrote:What exactly are you hearing that makes you think the Cavs are not going to draft Embiid, because everything I have heard is pointing to the fact that they will.

Gordon and Smart are perfect for the Kings, I agree. If one of them is still available they need to make the pick, period.INFORMER wrote:I think the team that's really missing the mark is Sacramento.

They are in a delicate situation cap wise considering that they want to 'contend', so if they amnesty Boozer they'll need those cheap contracts to pursue the big names. Two mid 1stR rookies this year is probably better than a #11 and a min guy.
oh I agree. I think if you can't get to the top 8 trading 2 top 20 picks for 1 isn't smart.
But, they seem like they are really keying in on Gary Harris and Especially Stauskas who are 2 Suns favorites.
I think an X-Factor in this draft is Dario Saric. I think he's in play from the Kings down, now I don't think he'd make it to us at 14, but he can go a number of different places in between.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”
Re: Post Your Draft Board
I think Saric could fall all the way to Boston at 17.

Re: Post Your Draft Board
I've though about saric at #17 too, but first the Bulls would have to pass. Wouldn't be unthinkable since they also have Mirotic at PF, but Saric is very different and they have more than enough room for both.

Re: Post Your Draft Board
Saric has a lot of buzz around him. I can see him falling over the comment he made "I come over if I play for Celtics or Lakers"...which I have no idea why he makes a comment like that...but If he is there at 14 I'm thinking long and hard about him if I am Mc-D.

Wally, swap Anderson for Warren and I'd squeal with excitement.
Re: Post Your Draft Board
As it stands, I have the Suns drafting...
Kyle Anderson - High post allows Gogi/Bled to run off screens, makes FANTASTIC passes.
Jarnell Stokes - Paint power
CJ Wilcox/PJ Hairston - Shooters, we needs em
INF and I are mucho similar this year.

I don't know anything about Payton. Can somebody tell me why he is climbing so fast? ESPN had him #8, which just two weeks ago would have sound insane.

Re: Post Your Draft Board
Final Mock Draft...
http://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/ ... iew/77125/
I do think a lot of trades will shake up this draft and Phoenix trades atleast 1 of there 1sts, prob 27, but Have had Warren mocked to us @ 14 since day 1 and end it like that. I like him, but would take Kyle Anderson there if it shook out like that. I'm fine with Capela @ 18, and at 27 if we keep it I think we take a long look at another guard such as wilcox. I'd like to see Boganovic there though...
The guy I have tumbling out of the 1st is James Young. I was never impressed with him, but recent reports are teams have soured on his workouts...he could very well go to OKC@21 or Miami@26, but I have him falling.
Enjoy
