The Official 2015 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[GreatestLaker]

The Wolves fans will be livid with Flip if he takes Okafor over Towns. Towns seems to be number one on everyone's board but Flip thinks he's the smart guy in the room.

Its not unanimous by any means. There are quite a few draft experts that think Okafor is the best player in the draft.

Not really.Most think Okafor will be better earlier because he's more polished now but most agree that Towns upside is much higher because of his ability on both sides of the ball

Okafor's the most NBA ready player most definitely. It's also predicated on who can mask his weaknesses the best. Minny isn't that team. They enhance weaknesses.

He wasn't supposed to be coaching the team NOW! Glen's been on record saying he doesn't like that Flip's doing both jobs. Flip's still doing it and if they improve he's gonna keep doing it. Who would walk away from that if they're getting better? He ain't stupid and he knows the power he has.


EDIT: He IS stupid, but he knows he has full autonomy. Nobody walks away from that

And if Thibodeau wanted the job Taylor would accommodate him, there's already reports floating that Tommy boy is interested.

I love Rickys defense and passing but watching him shoot/try to score is fukkin painful.... Im not even joking, I feel physical pain watching the shyt some nights

If we can upgrade at the position I wouldn't be mad

Watching teams sag 8 feet off him when he doesn't have the ball is just disturbing.

That's the guy Alex Kennedy works for.

chris mannix at SI is one of the most in the know guys in the NBA and he recently put out a mock draft with Okafor to the Wolves. plus alot of the wolves beat reporters saying the same thing. wolves fans better brace themselves.

Okafor is extremely talented but Towns just fits Minny better and looks like he's going to be better long term. But that doesn't seem to matter as Flip is going to take Okafor.


And please keep Thibs the fukk away from Wiggins.

Damn I really like towns. Hopefully Kobe retires after this season so I can be a laker fan again

DX said something like 90% of the scouts they talked to would take Towns, basically it's just the Wolves that have Okafor at the top of their board.

Okafor will be solid but yeah Flip is going to botch this.

 

[Malta]

Okafor is going to be good, but he's going to need a PF next to him and the Wolves aren't a very good fit for him because of the fact they have a gang of dudes that can't shoot 3s yet.

You can't draft Okafor, and then decide to keep Rubio, he's not like Pekovic who is a PnR big that can play off Rubio, he's a low post guy you run offense through. They would need to get rid of Rubio, Muhammad and Dieng almost immediately.
