The Official 2015 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Starski]

Not comparing Porzingis to this guy but that workout was reminiscent of Yi Jianlian vs. the chair

link to kriptas workout?

Who in the fukk told you that?

That's what people have been saying

Because for the millionth time Flip is incapable of being able to find that talent. If he wants to dump Ricky, he doesn't wanna win because doing that at the expense of having a Dieng /Bennett /Payne frontline and NO defense whatsoever says he doesn't give a shyt. There's no way you can argue otherwise and you have yet to make the compelling argument that they will be better than a flimsy "they have potential" case. You can count the amount of actual Wolves fans who trust Flip on one hand yet you wanna bet the house on him. I don't get it. Don't get it at all.

Tell you what, I'll fall back and let them succeed or fail on their own regardless of what he does. If they do well, I will not say a word. If they suck, I will not say a word. We're watching two completely different teams at work. I will not interrupt the Flip Saunders for Exec of the Year campaign you think you'll have going on 3 years.

If you draft Towns your frontline improves off top , so I don't see why it's such a big deal right this second to keep Rubio when your two best players will be 19 and 20. Rubio isn't the key to winning, you could literally have 27 other starting PGs do a better job than him, I just don't get it fam, I really have no idea what you see in him. You're better with him because you really have nothing outside of him, except for a 19 year old who you call a "professional dunker" that already has a better jumpshot than Rubio. Towns or Okafor, I have no idea how he could fukk that up with Wiggins there as well.

He'll never be exec of the year, but if he sticks with Rubio, they will never go anywhere and they will have a cap on their ceiling no matter how good Towns/Wiggins are. You cannot have a PG in the current NBA that cannot finish at the rim and cannot shoot.

This porzingis workout is doing Kimye lunch in nyc numbers

The allure of 7'1" + 3 pt shooting + shot blocking got GMs ready to make life decisions.

It doesn't make sense for Minny to draft anyone but Towns, and then they might as well keep Rubio in the fold until an opportunity presents itself, I don't think it would be in their best interest to give up assets to upgrade at point right at this moment. They should've tried to be in the Brandon Knight/Isaiah Thomas sweepstakes if they wanted to upgrade there

Man if the 76ers draft this frail cac I'ma be upset.

they need more facilitators, not replace their only one with one that isn't nearly as good.

Take a look at that squad and realize how none of them are able to pass the ball besides Ricky and for a big man, Dieng. That's why they need a backup PG who they can trust (for the most part I'm almost cool with whoever they choose should they move up, though I prefer Delon Wright). The shyt they lack can't possibly be fixed by getting rid of the one guy who is good at it. It's like the Pistons saying "we lack rebounding and blocks. Let's trade Drummond for it"

 

[tremonthustler1]

According to Alex Kennedy, Jarell Martin has a mid first round promise by a team and has shut down all workouts

I had him at 49 at Washington. if they take him at 19.

Would you say that either LaVine or Muhammad should be out of the door in favor for players who are willing passers (who might perhaps be veterans?)

I wouldn't move Muhammad because he his lack of passing is canceled out by the fact that he shoots every time he touches the ball and he does that with incredible efficiency. He's also slowly trying to pass more. What he needs is defense (won't bet on it) and more volume from the 3 (very doable). If he does that he can be an asset as a starter or bench player.

Lmao every year it's dudes like that just like someone out the blue will be picked like Cabolo last year....I had my money on Norman Powell.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

His chance at that being a high pick was this season

Lakers might be a lottery team next season but they won't be one of the five worst teams in the league next season

They're going to add randle, the number two pick, get Kobe back, and probably two of the top 10 free agents

I don't even think he's the best forward coming out of LSU. I think Mickey is better

 

[NatiboyB]

Now they saying Russell is sick and not feeling well

Breh how come I don't see any love for Tony Wroten.

Listen, you're getting real disrespectful now :RedGodGrill:


Drummond is an elite young big man and teams would trade a gang of players to get him right now, nobody is trading for Rubio without getting one of the other young Wolves in a package.
