The Official 2013 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[954UAlreadyknow]

The Timberwolves are offering Derrick Williams, 9th and 26th picks to move into the top 5.

As an Orlando fan that's a definite no from me. Last thing we need is another combo forward.

why is nobody taking this

You're in luck. Derrick's not a combo forward.

Charlotte should take that deal and run. Hell we'll even throw in Gerald Henderson.

I keep hearing its Len first but I like Noel #1 . He's a freak athletically and I think he's going to make All-Defensive teams for his entire career because of that. He can get beat badly and still recover. He's so quick defensively. He's got fast hands like a guard and long arms plus he jumps quicker than almost anyone in the league right now. Cavs need to draft him and let him anchor their D for the next 10 years. The 12 pts and 10 rebs he'll get will be a bonus....all this assuming his ACL isn't a big issue

I don't get the Len hype. I think he'll be good but won't dominate any part of the game. I think Noel can dominate on defense so I'd take him based on that alone. I did see a lot more of Noel than Len though. Can anyone that watched Len a lot tell me why he's first overall all of a sudden? And, yes, I know Len outplayed Noel head to head but I'm not basing my opinion on any one game.

I've watched Len in College Park and his disappearance in games is my concern. But then again he played with perhaps the dumbest guards in the history of Maryland basketball.

But he has a low post game and he can also do the pick and pop. Good rebounder, free throw shooter, decent rim protector. He improved a lot this year so his trajectory is definitely upwards. Plus he's 7 foot with an NBA body... Something Noel lacks for his position.

Damn are ANY of these deals gonna go through?

 

[tremonthustler1]

Orlando's just gonna stay at 2.

That means Len's going 1, Noel at 2

Noel is going #1 .

Z and Potapenko have been pushing hard for Len. But the consensus of all the scouts and staff is Noel.

He posts one last one the day of. He posted one yesterday though, but he said lots of changes will come.

Mine's almost done. I just gotta write up the last 4 first round picks.

@Ritzy Sharon will HATE the first rounder I have going to Denver, but I'll try to explain my logic.

@tremonthustler1's christmas is tomorrow, I don't even think you want the Wolves to be good, you love the draft too much.
