The Official 2015 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[trick]

my guy Mudiay is failing these workouts I didn't see that coming I assumed he'd be a beast in workouts and actually raise his stock...I still think he ends up a star especially if his work ethic.

Same, I didn't see him falling at all. I guess he didn't shoot the ball very well in individual workouts, since that's all you can really do.

Really surprised by Trey Lyles rising up the draft boards, I guess teams are really thirsty for a stretch 4 now.

Cam Payne had a workout for the Thunder a few days ago so unless their just selling it really hard, doesn't look like his promise was with us & was probably his agent raising interest. If that's the case I think the Thunder are probably more likely to go PG in round 2 then spend a lottery pick on one.

now I'm leaning towards Justise over Mario.

perfect Malone player.

Mario going to Denver.

Justise to Det

 

[NatiboyB]

Justise to Det

Lol yeah that's pretty much a wrap for that pick welcome to Denver Mario. Hopefully he doesn't get hurt in the finals.

I hope Stan goes to Detroit or Charlotte because I don't want him to fall to the Heat. I feel like the Heat will make a man out of him , and that scares me.

I feel like he's a lock for the heat now breh. Charlotte looks like they'll take Booker. Stan will be able to flourish learning from Deng and Wade.

Charlotte taking Booker would just be another notch in a long line of bad drafting decisions.

Charlotte taking Booker would just be another notch in a long line of bad drafting decisions.

Charlotte should try to trade up to get Mario/Russell/Mudiay or just trade down(Boston's 16 and 28 for their 9). If they trade down, they can get Grant/Vaughn and Upshaw. Sure Grant/Vaughn may be role players, but they may become solid starters and Upshaw can be Hassan Whiteside 2.0

 

[SchoolboyC]

Mudiay slid all the way down to #7 on DX's draft board.

Booker's moved up to #9

Trey Lyles moved up to #13

Anthony Brown and Jonathan Holmes moves up into the 1st round for the first time

Christian Wood slides 15 spots down into the 2nd

Yeah it's seeming like it. They don't necessarily need a 3 in Stanley but I think his talent shouldn't be something that they can just overlook if they're smart.

16/28 for 9 isn't good value...Plus what is it that the Hornets need? PG play, Shooting, a scorer....Is there anything that the Celtics can offer that can take care of that?

What do you think about OKC #14/Lamb/2nd rd pick for #9

 

[GreatestLaker]

On ESPN LA Johnathon Givony from DraftExpress said that Mario Hezonja has the second highest upside in this year's draft after Karl Towns.

I'd assume Ainge would be willing to part with Avery Bradley in a deal to move up, but yeah I'll be honest, the Celtics don't really have much to offer outside of future picks

And he's right.
