The Official 2013 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[tremonthustler1]

Now I'm sure the first page will have several variations of

"this draft is weak as fukk "

get it out of your system.

Now, the reason why I'm starting the thread now and not when the lotto starts is because foolishly, the combine is NEXT WEEK, before the lottery, not after. I'll post the list of 60 players that got invited to the combine. Euroleague Final Four is ongoing. Lots of prospects to sift through. Maybe you'll like some of them. I doubt it, but they can't cancel the draft, so deal with it. For all my NY heads, it's in Brooklyn this year.

Mock draft, teams will be available. Lay claim to em when the time comes because we'll be doing our annual mock draft again. As soon as the lotto is over it shall commence. Order will be here and updated.

Any other questions, debates, inquiries, you know what to do.

Detroit Pistons. Options and directions you could see them going?

 

[GoldenGlove]

I didn't watch any college BB outside of the tournament last year.

Which centers will be mid to late 1st rounders? My Bulls need a back up C BAD for next year...

McLemore, Muhammad or Porter.

 

[Ritzy Sharon]

knock down shooter, por favor.

It depends on what they wanna do with Kyle Singler. If they see him as a SF, grab a 2. If they see him as a 2, grab a 3. The Pistons recently have had many 2nd rounders and they have 2 more this year. They've very active with drafting guys and using them.

At the moment, I have them taking Giannis Adetokounbo. I think this is the highest he can go. Apparently, many of the Pistons scouts love him. They've been watching him for a while, and if the Pistons think they need a SF more than anything, they can pick him and let him develop while they use their FA money on something more established or a stopgap.

Adetokounbo, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Victor Oladipo, or Shabazz Muhammad should be their only 4 options, since Porter won't be there to be had unless y'all win the lotto.

and if Detroit wins the lotto, I could easily see them taking Otto Porter 1st with no hesitation.

 

[tremonthustler1]

knock down shooter, por favor.

Crabbe will be there, Reggie Bullock, DeShaun Thomas, Nate Wolters. Nuggets could go PG just to make the transition from Andre Miller to the new guy smoother, maybe a C to replace OH MOZGOV!, but if you want more sharp shooters, play Evan Fournier more.

 

[mozichrome]

do any of yall do any writing for sports publications?

i mean yall do these mock drafts & stuff, do yall do them for publications outside of doing it online here?

Lots of options, stash picks or immediate help.

Jeff Withey, Steven Adams, Gorgui Dieng, Rudy Gobert, Lucas Nogueira (most interesting C IMO) Mike Muscala (one of my favorite sleepers, grades out so well when it comes to advanced metrics and simply being active)

 

[CarolinaKing]

Lot of opinions out there about my boy Reggie Bullock, could be late 1st or early 2nd. I think he can be a valuable pick for someone late in the 1st. Not a great athlete, no handles, no real midrange game, but he can provide solid defense and great 3 point shooting. Also very good at finishing in transition.

Would love it if a team like Denver, Chicago or OKC would grab him.

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

Otto Porter is overrated to me way too slow and mechanical

Knicks could use him since theyre whole game is predicated on the 3

 

[kash10003]

is CJ McCollum really a NBA SG or a PG?
