2017 NBA Draft Prospect Discussion

[pickle]

I'm very intrigued by Jackson. I'm beating a dead horse probably, but I'd love to win the lottery, swap it for the 3rd and 6th picks and get Jackson and the French pg... or something.

Noooo. Fultz is the real deal. He just has crap teammates.

Fultz, Jackson, and Ntilikina are probably my 3 favorite prospects, so sign me up for either.

Isaac would be an interesting choice for us if we land outside the top 4. He's a 6' 11" SF. Can you imagine the length out there? Isaac-Bender-Chriss with 2 of those being able to defend the perimeter?

Anyone worried about Lonzo Ball's helicopter dad?

Eh, not really. Teams don't usually put up with that stuff and there are 2 younger Ball children for him to worry about.

I'm more worried about the dude in your avatar flopping out of my screen on to my keyboard.

I'm more worried about the treadmill in your avatar. With the "Online" banner like it's watching me. I feel so guilty. My New Years resolution didn't even make it to the end of January.

I need someone to photoshop a suns hat on my treadmill to represent our longstanding team direction.

Jackson had a strong performance last night vs UK. Think he can be an extremely good "piece". I haven't seen anything on the french guy yet, so No opinion. Jackson has a hitch in his shot, but it hasn't effected it too much. Lonzo Ball is still my top prospect. Like hiss tyle of PG over a Smith or Fultz, but would like to see more of Smith.

I'm a big fan of this draft and would trade anyone on this roster outside of Book for another top 10 pick. I'd explore Bledsoe to Minnesota for there lotto pick,Rubio, and another young piece like Shabazz. Bledsoe is a better player by a pretty good margin then Rubio, but Ricky would be needed for salaries to match. I'd also explore Bledsoe to Sacramento for theres but not sure if they can trade theirs considering Philadelphia has the right to swap it.

EB's value will probably never be higher.

Watching UW v UA, Markkanen has been a non factor, Fultz looks very smooth.

[carey]

Markkanen is having a bad game. Polar opposite from the UCLA game last weekend.

[carey]

Markkanen just hit a big 3. Trier bricking that FT didn't help. 8 point UA lead with 1 min to go.

[carey]

They are up 9 with 40 seconds left and Miller looks like his face is about to explode in the huddle. I have no idea what they just did. Lol.

[carey]

UA looks good, man. 9-0 in the PAC for the first time since '98. If they stay healthy and continue to defend like madmen they can definitely go to the final 4. I think securing a #1 seed is key.

That might be difficult in the West (#1 seed) ...Gonzaga is 22-0 and the rest of the Bulldogs schedule looks easy.

Couldn't they still be a #1 seed, just in another region, such as the South?

Yes, that is quite possible if the 'Cats keep their current pace.

How do the regions work? The team's actual location is not factored in, or let's say not a limiting factor?

If you have one region that has two very good teams, say a #1 and a #4 in national rankings, one of those may be moved to a region that has lesser-ranked teams, say nobody in the top 10, with the outlier seeded #1 in that region. Doesn't always happen, but there's a possibility.
