Detroit and Ryan Anderson seem like a perfect match

Agreed. I just dont see how drafting Dunn who has the same problem helps.
Dunn will help, but not for the reasons people think. Believe it or not I'm not opposed to Dunn as a player or a pick, but he'll help in this regard:

-How confident can anyone be in giving that lawn gnome Tyus Jones 20+ minutes a night right now? He's physically not there yet. If they don't draft a PG, they'll go after another vet PG to ease Jones in some more. Dunn would give Minny their own Teague /Schroder. Add to it another passing threat because this team is flat out awful at passing sans Rubio. That's something that needs to be addressed regardless of who the PG is.

Most importantly it guarantees LaVine never plays PG again, and that can't be stressed enough.

Murray's the more logical of the two because he's younger, much less injury prone, and shoots better. Where Murray falls flat is that he's not a pure PG.

If Simmons and Ingram were in last year's draft where would they go?

Who is the better prospect coming out of college Jabari Parker or Ingram?

Celtics & Suns are supposedly two of the teams


two teams that are already set at point guard.

i'd duck them too.

Simmons pops is from the Bronx :birdman:

He played on a mediocre LSU squad and knew he was a top pick he didn't give a fukk about college...


that LSU team isn't as bad as theyre made out to be.

ESPN keeps pushing the narrative because they have some sort of stock in benny.

Does Brandon Ingram get them into the NCAA Tournament? :ld:

I don't feel like that shyt should hurt Simmons' draft stock at the end of the day it's irrelevant at the next level.

I don't think Detroit can afford him after adding on Harris plus they are going to extend drummond

Thought the whole point of Drummond not signing an extension before the deadline was to free up cap room this summer, they should have like 20 to spend, that's more than enough to grab Anderson

I think the Lakers would take Simmons, I flip flop on who they would take between the two of them. I think either gets drafted by the Lakers over Russell, just because of their size and skillsets.

1. KAT
2. Simmons
3. Russell
4. Okafor
5. Kristaps
6. Ingram

The Knicks wanted Okafor, and the Magic wanted Kristaps, so Ingram probably goes 6th to the Kings. I had it differently the other day but the more I thought of it, the more likely this is how it would go IMO.


Parker was the better prospect, but Ingram is viewed as having the higher ceiling, there's also a very high chance of being a bust for Ingram.
