The Official 2016 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Kang Deezy]

@KevJ almost zero doubt Boston would take Ingram at 3. At 3 Boston is looking for top talent. Even if Brown has fans in Boston they'd love Ingram more. He's just that unattainable seemingly.

Brown and Chriss are fukking my mock up but it deepens the draft options. First time I can remember every player I'd want will be there at 5.

I'm trying not to read into Brown's 2nd workout too much, since Boston would still love KD, have Crowder and need bigs more, but I've conceded the fact that I have no idea what Boston will do with the pick, whether they're picking for themselves or someone else

Jamal Murray was getting a lot of hype for #3. Now he might fall as low as 8 and it wasn't anything he did wrong.

Even now as I post this I'm reconsidering Dunn to New Orleans if he's hiding medical records.

Hield and Murray are also getting 2nd workouts with Boston

Pretty much. I'll be surprised if someone takes a 5'9 guard with a medical flag in the 1st round.

He'll be a steal for some team.

He'd be perfect for the Pistons, they'd have to buy a 2nd rounder though, can't see him lasting till 49.

ulis needs 30-40 lbs of muscle

That may take his whole career

I dont think there is a team that would take brown over ingram. While brown is more physically ready, ingram is much more skilled and longer with a higher floor and ceiling than brown. I think Brown will be good in the right system that doesnt force him to take perimeter shots

Exactly if Brown was 6'8 or 6'9 he would be in the argument for going 2nd but Ingram is too skilled and too long (pause)

Brown being a bum doesn't help matters

I'm starting to think Ingram will be a bust unfortunately

I heard on a podcast that he weighed in at i think 149 lbs (I could be off on this number) and that he would be the lightest guy in the last 30 years or so.

Only Earl Boykins and Mugsy were close to his weight and were each close to half a foot shorter.

Remember TJ Ford? Ulis is much smaller and will be a walking chronic injury at his size. One hard screen or contest at the basket and he is done.

Man, Ingram is all business. Don't know where the too laid back talk is coming from, unless you're just looking at his face.

Everything I've seen indicates him to be very high character.

Based on what?

You know what it's based on....

Hint: What team is suspected to draft him?

Jazz are in a weird spot at 12, Baldwin seems like a huge reach
