The Official 2015 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Liquid]

What are the chances that the pistons gets ANOTHER pick right at around the same spot. Drummond went 8th I think in 2012

 

[42 Monks]

He thinks he's a 2?

So he thinks he's the same guy that Derrick Williams thinks he is too?

 

[jaguar paw]

I think you bring both wing guys back, which is why if you're going to draft anyone to play on the perimeter it should be a 3. Shumpert and JR are going to be on the Cavs moving forward, I don't expect JR to get anything more than what Nick Young got on the market, he's going to be valuable to the team he's already on and nobody is going to take the chance on him.

I'd go big over small, you can always trade for Iguodala, and having someone like Upshaw is a good insurance policy in case Mozgov leaves or when Anderson takes his usual 60 game vacation. It's better to be overstocked with big men than to need one and not have one.

I'm positive that they re-sign Dellavedova, Thompson, Shumpert, Love, and Smith. I think they end up bringing Perkins back too.

They need a short and long term plan behind Kyrie. He needs his minutes scaled back going forward.

Which is why I think they need to draft one now and get Mo to sure up the back-up spot now.

Moz/Love/Tristan/Varejao are going to to take all of the minutes at the 4/5 spot. When he does return, Varejao's minutes will be dramatically reduced compared to what they were before.

When the Cavs go small they tend to do very well.

If someone like Upshaw falls far enough and they like him enough they could just buy a pick.

Tokoto may be a nice 2nd rounder if he fixes his j..

I definitely think he'd be a useful flyer, and just stick him in a room with a shot doctor for the next year.


Anybody else feel like DX/Givony is doing some kind of favor to IMG with their Santam Singh coverage?

This 5-5 game is some of the worst shooting ive seen. Dudes really not helping themselves at this point

He can't shoot worth a shyt..but he may be the best wing athlete in this draft..can handle the ball with decent vision and is a solid defender.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Robert Upshaw 7'0" in shoes, 7'5.5" wingspan and a 9'5" standing reach, he's projected to go around where you're drafting

If only he gave a shyt about defense

Probably just covering Satnam to get more hits on their site

"beware of players who come from houses with four car garages"

Stephen Curry the son of a NBA player is the MVP

 

[tremonthustler1]

George Lucas is gonna go first round

 

[tremonthustler1]

Related but only kinda: Nemanja Bjelica won Euroleague MVP. If he doesn't sign with Minnesota he may get dealt on draft night. Keep an eye out for that

People are going to fall in LOOOOVE with his measurements.

I hate these guys talking all this shyt, hating on CHRISTMAS for saying he wanted to show that he can shoot.

Then the VERY NEXT Player praise him to show that he can shoot during these games
