The Official 2016 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Zhou Qi could be a real steal. I like the little I've seen and read.

post something up

He wont be ready for a few years, he makes Kristaps look like prime Carl Weathers.

I think he's better than Kristaps defensively right now tbh. I like his potential. 7'2, mobile with a shooting stroke. Def worth the wait

He put up some good numbers in the Cba for what it's worth. 16-10 with 3.2 blocks. Shot 60% from the field and 76% from the line. Stretch 4 with rim protection?

Kristaps was one of the best defending PF's in the league, doubtful he's on that level.


He's worth the pick, but Porzingis had a special season.

So Nigel Hayes is returning to Wisconsin, good move

Marcus Lee Withdraws from 2016 NBA Draft, Will Transfer from Kentucky


Wednesday was a good news-bad news day for the Kentucky Wildcats, as junior forward Marcus Lee will not be entering the NBA draft but is going to transfer from the school.

Kentucky head coach John Calipari confirmed Lee's decision with Eric Lindsey of UKAthletics.com:

[Lee] informed us today that he is pulling his name out of the draft but has decided he is going to transfer to a school out west to be closer to his family. We talked it through together and discussed the team next season, which he said had no bearing on his decision. I also told him he was a semester away from graduating. With that said, he was still adamant that, after the combine experience, a year off and regrouping would be the best thing. As always I support my players and their decisions.

I thought Lee looked good at the combine, you think Trimble staying?

He better withdraw
Malik Newman withdrawing was another surprise but supposedly he may transfer from Miss. State

Yeah, going to be hard for him to hurt his stock going back. I thought Whitehead should have taken his name out too

I wanted Deyonta Davis, but since he's taken then I'd settle with Jakob Poeltl since we need a big (assuming we don't get Horford/Noah).

Four teams well positioned to set tone for 2016 Draft

Would you be open to packaging Oak; Saric, and Miami pick for Jimmy Butler?

 

[tremonthustler1]

@THEREALBRAND utah is up next. Unless you don't wanna pick then I can pass this off to the next poster

I wouldn't give up both Saric and Okafor for Butler. I would attach the Laker pick to either one for Butler tho
