The Official 2015 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Flight]

Nah. D'angelo was looking real suspect during the tourney tho

He didn't have the best showing for sure but his team was trash. Justise was great during the tournament but I think people undersell how much playing with Tyus and Jahlil helped him.

Am I the only one getting Evan Turner vibes form Russell? He is skilled, but he doesn't have elite speed or athleticism. Unless Russell is the next Curry that I ain't aware of, I would take my chances on Winslow, he is stronger, more athletic, better defensively, higher ceiling imo.

I have Winslow 2nd behind Towns ahead of Russell and Okafor. Randle and Winslow applying that defensive pressure

Winslow was showing out even with Okafor on the bench in the tourny. He really showed leadership when his team needed him the most.

I am afraid for my Sixers

If we get the first smfh

Probably not. I didn't know iggy was dropping 20 a game tho

There was a stretch where he was a pretty good offensive option ON TOP of being a great defender. Just could never get his jumpshot to the point where he was TRULY dynamic.

He modeled his game after Manu, if you could draft a 19-20 year old Manu right now, would you take him in the top 5?

A black Manu???














But I repeat myself...

I think they'll trade down if they win the lottery

But I repeat myself...

"I studied Manu Ginobili," Russell told NBA TV when asked which players he's tried to pattern his game around. "Not a lot of guys really valued his play. Growing up that was a guy that I really focused on."

@Poitier I agree he's not the athlete Manu is, but he also looks skinny-fat and could benefit big time from some proper strength and conditioning.

I'm just saying, I've seen Manu's video when he was Italy and he looked like prime MJ out there

depends on my team's situation tbh

Knicks cant afford to lose out on a gamble like Russell. Philly... they're playing with house money in the draft right now

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

ESPN2 3-7 combine

 

[Frump]

I don't see Manu at all..Manu was a great slasher and getting to the rim which is not a strength of Russels

Russel kinda reminds me of a poor mans Curry
