Hardly a reach at 27. Besides, PG thins out big time in round 2Joe Young at 27? He's a really good shooter, but I dunno about him going that high
@tremonthustler1
what do you hear about Upshaw? Is he going 2nd round for sure?
is there any hope for the guy?

i guess it wouldnt really be a reach in this draft. i see the draft as being somewhat weak at PG and especially in that range...Young is a baller that was big in the clutch in conference tourneys and is a nice player. normally Id say they could just draft him at 34...but other than Rozier there may not be another PG on the board by the late 20's and Brooklyn and Houston pick between 27 and the LA 2nd rounder so maybe they grab him there if they like him just to be sure
Has to be trueHe is pretty talented. I'm just surprised he's being promised by the Lakers at #27 cause I just saw him near the end of the 2nd yesterday on DX's board
It does make sense for a team at the end of the first to just lock someone they like to a longer contract rather than risk losing a guy on a shorter contract in the 2nd round ala Wesley Matthews (yes, I know he was undrafted), Boozer, etc
I heard one source say that a team would have to be "arrogant as hell" to draft him in the first. He needs a solid support system. I think hes a superb talent but some teams have him off the board altogether. SA would be an ideal situation for him but thats not their MO.
draftnet.com is usually trash but they have him undrafted. DX has him going 37 to the Sixers. Hes a huge wild-card and I have no idea where he'll go but hes definitely worth the upside to me in the 2nd. I was advocating the Celts grab him at 28 or 33 but apparently they have no interest. Despite what Ive heard, I think he has too much potential to pass on...
Top tier big man defensive skill and measured out ridiculously well.I think the final straw to some teams was the recent heart condition situation. There were as many red flags as possible before that.

I hear you..but the more I look at it, the less im surprised. In that range and beyond, who's left at PG (unless someone drops)? Its basically just him, Harrison, Rozier, Hanlan, Radicevic, and I suppose Tokoto if a team thinks he can convert to PG or be a solid combo guard that can run point here and there rather than just running transition at the 2. Young is probably better than all of them although I like Tokoto.
What page has the mock draft from chad ford
All I know is @PTBG is right.
We need to be taking Okafor at #2 and fukk everybody else. We need a 7'0 dominant low post scorer, that can potentially get you 20/10, for the next 10-12 years and worry about everything else later.
It's a no-brainer imo. Potentially great offensive 7 footers dont come around that often...while guards are always able to be found (we got Clarkson in the 2nd round
)
It's not like he's horrible on defense anyways, he gonna be maybe average at best. However, offensively? He's ready

Philly has 5 2nd rounders and an injured Embiid. You know he ain't shyt if Philly doesn't pick him (I think they will)
