The Official 2016 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Russell has all the tools to be a great playmaker, it's not like Ingram is a bad passer either

You know damn well Russell is a shot first guard. And Ingram may not be a bad passer but his instincts, as they normally should be for his position, is to score.

If Russell has a guy like Ingram next to him you'll see a lot more of his passing abilities out there, give him another year to develop and if it doesn't work out put him at the 2 and get a guy like Fultz

Yeah i can see simmons fitting in as damn near the point guard on the lakers and be a fit with randle.

Simmons
Russell
Clackson
Randle
Center

Would work 2 me and kinda remind you of the the showtime lakers. Kinda

Didn't NBADraftNet compare Waiters to Jordan, or some ridiculous shyt like that?

Nah, I think they compared him to D-Wade...

 

[Poitier]

Simmons
Russell
Clackson
Randle
Center

that defense

 

[Flight]

that defense

4 cats that want to have the basketball in their hands too...

 

[King Biko]

that defense

Just because simmons plays the point in that scenario don't mean he has 2 guard points in half court defense. And russell and Clarkson are both 6'5 so they can handle some sfs lenght and size wise. Its just up 2 them effort wise on defense and it cant be worst than what it was this current season defensively

That will be the same case with ingram there 2 tho, except with simmons you have a very willing passer and a gifted passer in d'angelo. Plus Clarkson and d'angelo both showed they can be effective off ball this season

So according to Doogie, Serge Ibaka and Kenneth Faried are potential trade targets for the Wolves at 5 and that Kris Dunn is in the discussion for that selection

ehh...I would like another big, a true 4 to put next to Towns but I think Faried would be a better fit now but Serge seemingly would be the better fit. I just don't think his offense has gone down because of Westbrook and Durant. He doesnt really rebound as good as you'd hope. Is that about fair value for the 5th pick though?

For Vet help, probably

Just because you're 6'5" doesn't mean you can guard SFs, the average small forward is around 6'7" 225-230lbs (Some are 240+) and would love to be defended by some 6'5" 195lbs cats You put those dudes on some of the more physical 3's and one of them is getting injured.

The lineup you posted is pure trash, Simmons will not be able to guard PGs.

 

[okgoodnotgreat]

He doesn't fit in LA at all

Trade Randle, who is not good.

I want Ingram on my Lakers, besides, Simmons is a better fit for Philly, especially if they get healthy.
