2015 NBA Draft Lottery Thread

[drifter]

Your explanation made zero sense it would only work in the reverse if minny was trying to trick the lakers into trading for the number one pick . Are the wolves dumb and getting Jedi mind tricked

I'm just typing idle chatter I've gotten elsewhere, idk why you're getting defensive

If you don't think so that's cool, either way it's something interesting to think about to pass the time by, and it actually makes sense to me

I'd trade Martin for Calderon so fast just to avoid having to see this team trade up for Tyus Jones

Russell has a say in this top 2 draft convo, but it's looking like Towns no matter what is top 2 whereas Okafor gives a bit more pause due to fit and just how the game is trending. BUT, Okafor is more likely to go 1.

What's Russell's and mudiays g
Ceiling to you ?

Russell to me = poor Man's Brandon Roy

Mudiay- Pelicans Tyreke Evans (I specify Pelicans because he won't be as good as how Tyreke was in Sacramento)

Mudiay is much better than Reke. You will be fine.

Similar weaknesses, similar strengths, nevermind the body types and relative competition they faced.

Don't forget how much stock was placed in Tyreke when he left from Memphis. I don't think Mudiay's on that level or woulda been there had he gone to SMU

Manny is simply quicker/faster than Reke. Reke got by on his strength and ballhandling but in the NBA he has to pound the ball in the ground to get 15 feet in. Think he is a better passer, too.

Wasn't Mudiay the #1 prospect at one point, he was when he was supposed to go to SMU anyway iirc

I think Mudiay's a better finisher, but I think his jumper is really really bad unless he gets that shyt professionally fixed. Tyreke was predicated on strength. Mudiay was effortless in his time in China but 6'5'' 200 is a lot more common in the NBA

His shots need work but I think its the easiest thing to fix if he has the work ethic

6'5" 200lbs at the point isn't very common, and he's a lot more explosive than Tyreke.

I think a more explosive Jrue Holiday is really the best comparison for him.

Yeah, but Tyreke was in that situation too and he got turned into a goddamn THREE (I'll never understand what Sacramento and New Orleans thought about when they did that)

Let's see what you have to say when your team takes him #2 overall

I'll say he's a top 5 PG right now
