The Official 2012 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[mastermind]

so I take it teams are seduced by Barnes combine numbers now?

ignore the two years at UNC where he showed those stiff ass hips and inability to create a shot off the dribble, he got a 40 inch vert and runs in a straight line fast.

Is Harrison really athletic?...cause his running leap was just an inch & a half better...

I can't imagine that being explosive, and I put that with being athletic...and he certainly doesn't play athletic...

I don't eem know..

he has always been traditionally athletic. He can jump and run with the best, but he is stiff.

Sullinger and Jones should have come out last year, these dudes have terrible stock right now, how is Sullingers standing reach only 8"9?

Drummond is a beast athletically -

Howard -
6"10 1/4th (w/shoes)
240lbs
wingspan 7'4.5"
lane agility 11.21 sec
3/4th sprint 3.12
35.5" max vert

Oden
7"0 (w/shoes)
257lbs
wingspan 7'4.25"
Lane agility 11.67 sec
3/4th sprint 3.27
34" max vert

JaVale
7"0 (w/shoes)
241lbs
wingspan 7"6
Lane Agility - 12.75 secs
3/4th sprint 3.25 secs
32.5" max vert

DeAndre
6"11 (w/shoes)
250lbs
wingspan 7"6
lane agility 12.30 secs
3/4th sprint 3.27
30'.5" max vert


Andre
6"11 3/4th (w/shoes)
279lbs
wingspan 7'6.25
lane agility 10.83 secs
3/4th sprint 3.39
33.5" max vert

The lane agility, vert and sprint @ that weight are fukking absurd, especially the lane agility where he was quicker than most of the guards. The weight is what makes his athleticism so crazy, if this kid has any semblance of work ethic, or desire to be the best player in the league the tools are there.

It's a big gamble, his blackleticism is just so alluring though

Before the workouts, I was thinking there was no way the Cavs could let Drummond slip past #4. Now, I'm thinking he might not get past #2, even if the Bobcats aren't gonna keep him.

He's got "once every 20 years" blackleticism, 280lbs isn't supposed to move like that.

If he can learn to do something as simple as run the court and seal his man under the hoop he could get 10 a game off that alone.

it is a gamble. it usually doesnt pan out but fukk it, im bout to bet on black

 

[jwinfield]

Depends on where he goes.

I could see MJ chewing him out and Andre going and not giving a fukk anymore.

There are rumors, probably won't happen, about the Bulls getting the #2. But Drummond under Thibs

 

[tremonthustler1]

mock is coming up shortly.

The Cavs are probably his best location, simply cause he can play off Kyrie. As for the Bulls, if they got the 2nd pick they probably take a wing player. That said, Drummond is going to be a BEAST in pick and roll defense, that wingspan plus his quick feet, can you believe he posted better lane agility numbers (and sprint) than Noah who was 223lbs at the time.

 

[firemanBk]

I heard the Bobcats are interested in trading down and the Cavs do have the pieces. They should try and get that number 2.

Kyrie and Drummond

The FT shooting is unnacpetable though. 29.5% means you're not even trying.

 

[tremonthustler1]

oh and while I'm posting this mock, can somebody from Chicago pick?

 

[Since '86]

Well since no one else will pick for Chi...Doron Lamb.

If they can get that 24th pick I say its an easy decision for Charlotte. That way they aint got the pressure of botching that 2nd pick and they can go with whoever's there after 3....Beal, T Rob, MKG, or Barnes.

My question is though, if Charlotte does trade that 2nd pick to whoever, does that mean its definitely Drummond that goes 2nd?
