The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

Who do you feel would be the Mavs best possible scenario pick?

I have been a major proponent of taking Bamba should he be there. I feel he is very moldable the same way Serge Ibaka and Giannis were. By that I mean you can make them whatever you want them to be. I think Bagley falling while unlikely, would be a good addition.

For round 2, it shouldn’t be anything other than a SG (and they’ll have their choice of a deep pool). I know they wanna go free agent hunting, but they better address the needs they have and then go get guys like Randle to round out the core rotation.

Manny Diressa?

Yes.

First CIS guy to go in the first round of a coli or any other mock draft

I'd take Connor Morgan in the 1st round too

What’s the best value y’all think the #4 pick can get for Memphis? Lotta the rumors flying around make more sense if it’s Memphis trying to entice offers. Assume they’d want to offload Parsons with that pick but

He doesnt really have a good one. I'll say he is a mix of out of college Bosh/Rodman/Westbrook.

Mentality and athletically like Sabo for his position, he is relentless but quiet.

Rodman with his first jump, 2nd jump, feel for rebounding and first step to get there. He even has Dennis lateral quickness. He lacks Dennis defensive aptitude but who knows how he will do in the NBA at it. He has the ability and agile.

Bosh for his BBIQ on offense, off the ball ability, willing passer but can get tunnel vision, loves the faceup game but will back to the basket you as well. Out of college, neither of them were consistent shooters. Bosh better from the line. Bagley, better from range.

I think he can get 20-22/ 10-12 rpg and 2 apg as a rookie. Its possible with Bagley.

Defense will be an issue for Bagley but we must remember, Collins was suppose to be a bad defender and he turned out to be a decent one

I ain't hearing shyt about Memphis being interested in moving that pick. I am hearing they like Doncic, Bagley and Porter Jr a lot.

On offense Bagley reminds me of AD

How?

 

[O.iatlhawksfan]

How?

Can hit the 3, quick off his feet, good on pick and rolls. Not the biggest guy but gets buckets by being active around the basket.

It would make most sense for Mavs to take Mikal Bridges IMO

They're starting to attract some talent.


CIS has taken a gigantic leap forward in the last 10 years or so. They're gonna get someone drafted eventually. I think Ekiyor or maybe Grant Shepherd have the best chance right now.

#4 and Parsons to the Hawks for Bazemore and #30

Will keep an eye on those names. I vaguely remember Ekiyor because he was supposed to play D1 somewhere and he was falsely accused of assault right?

I looked into this guy's story and it looks like he was a Giants of Africa camper. I looked at his high school highlight and noticed he was wearing a Basketball Without Borders jersey. Bet you Masai has a hand in this kid going to Ryerson somehow
