2016 NBA Draft and beyond (labelplant edition).. 4/4/16 UPDATE: 2017 Draft Big Board

[str8up]

I can't act like I know him I just go by highlights and scouting reports and he sounds very Jrue Holidayish

Who's a very solid player but with a high lotto pick in a loaded draft I want more

With Ntilikina, even though he's not going to blow you away with his athleticism, he does have really good change of speed and paired with his handling and footwork can be just as effective if not more effective than someone who can just hang in the air and finish with crazy body control like Fultz or DSJ.

Plus, he's the best defender at the guard position in this draft.

 

[Poitier]

I agree I'm not a fan of heavy ISO players but he threw a nice pass to Jackson and had a few during the tourney that makes me think he can see the floor pretty well at least

A team like the Magic who are allergic to halfcourt scoring could really use him

I mean if you think he is a Melo or Pierce (he isn't) those guys had some vision but how hard was it to build around them?

Speaking of Jrue, Aaron looks like he might end up as the best player in the family.

Ya'll would probably think I was crazy if I posted my big board up instead

not sure how you have Harry Giles at #32 - he hasn't shown the mobility necessary and is still recovering from knee surgeries.

as a Duke fan, it's very hard to see Semi Ojeleye on this list since we could have had him on our team this year!

Giles is where he is because of potential. He's going to go first round no matter what.

Someone school me on Robert Williams, I've never heard of him before. What NBA player(past or present) does he best compare to?

I guess a pre-injury Antonio McDyess



He was one the most fun players to watch this season

Does he have any offensive skill in the halfcourt or is he just a guy who's gonna get mostly dunks?

Another thing that worries me is that he's 20 already.

Look at McDyess' freshman stats compared to Williams.

Robert will still be 19 on draft day I'm pretty sure, and McDyess was 21 during his rookie season in the league.

He has a pretty nice mid-range jumper and his post game is coming along nicely.
