The Official 2017 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Bigblackted4]

Avery Bradley was at one point the top high school prospect in the nation, with John Wall at #2. Frank isn't near the athlete Avery is nor is he the PG that Bradley was back in college (against better competition). If Bradley couldn't make the PG transition in the NBA then you can almost guarantee that this kid with the broke ass footwork and slow first step is gonna have a hard time.

Frank shouldn't be getting near the amount of love he's seen so far. Long arms and a decent jumpshot in league where closeout speed is a luxury can't be the only thing going for a guy to get this level of hype. People are saying he's gonna be good like its a certainty. Even in workouts he struggles to put the ball on the floor. A scrappy d-leaguer can do the job people are saying Frank will be able to do. That's just not mid-lotto level value.

Watch us pick him simply because we need someone better than Sessions

I agree I think a lot of these GMs just panic when they see foreign players. They don't do their due diligence in scouting them and take the time out to see how they are. He's very young and has to adapt to the game so that's even another reason why he won't live up to any potential.

PEEP THIS shyt COLI BREHS!!!!


This nikka is being so fukking Low-Key. Hasn't posted shyt on IG since early April.

This nikka had less talent than Markelle Fultz and still won 15 games and took down duke by himself

Yeah he a beast. For me I think he's gonna be like a dame lillard. Under rated when drafted only to show out. And wasn't some poster here saying the only person he's seen dominate in camps like really dominate is this breh. And watching him and his aggression it's quite obvious he won't bust. Offensively he has the full package.

I looked at his measurements compared to Dame. His wingspan figures looked short except those dx measurements are from 2014 and showed a higher standing reach than Dame despite having a shorter height.

To me he's the clear cut steal. I'd probably take him third among pgs

If I were a team in the top 5 I'd be so scared to pass on him. It's like watch Steve Francis 15 years later and Steve was made for this NBA.

I knew something was up when he worked out for Orlando and nothing got leaked. These motherfukkers are trying to be slick as fukk Orlando probably saw the workout and said nothing to see hear folks we ain't losing our guy. We ain't putting shyt out on how he did

You know them coaches were probably like I never really liked Elfrid Payton's hair you know

Dame Lillard already got exposed lol....he not 6'1.75 he's under 6 feet tall in socks

I worry about that jumper being consistent enough in the league, but he should go off the board before Fox.

A Mavs insiders was saying how the front office doesn't feel Smith fits on the team. That's why we're going to be the 8th and 9th seed for a long time

 

[LEEeveryday]

Dennis Smith looks really good..... pause.

 

[Poitier]

Now this nikka the best player in that 2014 draft

no he isnt

 

[Poitier]

This nikka had less talent than Markelle Fultz

lol this isnt close to true

 

[Poitier]

Breh i've seen his highlights & its hard for me to see him guarding Kyrie/Steph/Westbrook primarily

Lol no one guy can guard those guys 1 on 1. Frank's value is his defensive VERSATILITY but he will be fine guarding most PGs.

 

[Poitier]

Yall put waaaaaaaaaaay too much stock into workout videos lol.

 

[NatiboyB]

This seems like something that Orlando, Detroit, Minnesota, New York should all be taking a look at.

 

[NatiboyB]

Yall put waaaaaaaaaaay too much stock into workout videos lol.

I think cats are overvaluing PG defense...The elite ones are going to score no matter what...

Huh?..we were talking about Ben Simmons

 

[Houston911]

I could see the lakers trading Russell for a pick, but top 12 is vague....it would need to be top 7 or 8

They realize they not winning shyt in the next 3 years so they looking for more cap flexibility
