The Official 2015 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Knicks might end up with the best talent in this draft ... damn

I still feel strong bust feelings with this guy, and thats without really scouting him

Darko ruined it for everyone

it's not just Darko. Look at overseas lotto bigs since then. The track record isn't great

Biedrins
Fran Vasquez
Yaroslav Korolev
Andrea Bargnani
Saer Sene
Yi Jianlian
Kanter (figuring it out)
Valanciunas (jury's still out)
Biyombo


It's usually the lesser heralded guys who wind up doing well

 

[NatiboyB]

hinkie should just take him and play a 2-3 zone when embiid's back

look at that length along the back 3

[Brozay]

He has a very real chance of being a bust, I think going to the Knicks is one of the worst situations for him because of Melo and the fact he'd probably have to play a lot of minutes at center. He really should be paired with a center that can guard the bigger bodies in the league.

Phil likes traditional centers, he could always throw some of that capspace at someone

Is there a reason they arent linked to Deandre at all?

Draft Kristaps, sign Deandre

That frontline would be

Or lower tier, R. Lopez or Asik?

Very true, just feels like we've been down this road before

Going to the Knicks increases his bust factor to me for some reason ... if he doesnt perform by year two, he might be ruined

Knicks shouldn't even pick him hopefully the Nuggets get enamored with him and trade #7 and the knicks pick (whichever is lowest between the Knicks/Nuggets pick) in 2016 for the right to Porzingis...

Seem's to make more since for the Knicks and they could still get a player they like this draft and have a pick next season and the Nuggets can get another Euro star to put between Nurkic and Galanari....But they will probably pick Henoza.

Porzingis and Monroe are 4/5's (should Phil sign him). Interchangeable

 

[Alexander The Great]

Size is legit. I doubt he'll fill out his frame enough to wanna withstand the contact

He'll be a Knick barring a trade

will the knicks still go after Monroe?

 

[Kitsch]

Porzingis.

 

[tremonthustler1]

probably. Seems like there are more names who want money than teams willing to offer it

 

[Brozay]

I like the idea of a defensive/rebounding big next to him

Deandre ideally, or Lopez/Asik perhaps

Monroe doesnt do much for me, maybe its just because of his situation

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Porzingis.

I was worried Phil would go in this direction for a few days now

Just gotta pray for the best now breh and hope he develops well

I don't see us drafting him.

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

I don't see us drafting him.

I hope not, like Malta said the Knicks aren't a good situation for him. He's really raw,and will be coming to a team that doesn't have a lot of talent, with high expectations placed upon his shoulders; definitely not ideal for both parties.

Pretty much.
