John Shurna hit 36 of 40 three-pointers in his Bucks workout. How could you not draft him? #Northwestern


not getting drafted, but he'll see Summer league

don't be so sure. He could get picked up off that kinda workout.

Shurna's release is but he can stroke if he has spacing...


He's not worth a pick though.....

Picks in the late 2nd round are akin to sweepstakes. If a team drafted Looseuno in the late 2nd, it shouldn't surprise you. If a team drafted you in the 2nd round with your Mongolian passport, it shouldn't surprise you.

The mock draft on NBATV just had my Suns taking that UNC fakkit cac Tyler Zeller

I swear to god I'll legit kill someone if that goes down.

not going to happen that is the one positions and PF ya'll are set at.

Nah, Phoenix is terrible at PF, they are set at C though.

Andrew Nicholson is a hot name right now as teams in the late lottery are considering him and there's an excellent chance that he will land somewhere in the teens on draft night. There are a number of teams attempting to move up for him, and it's unlikely that he would fall past Orlando at 19 or Denver at 20. We hear OKC is one team that could be looking to add a mid-first rounder to grab him, with Eric Maynor as possible trade bait.

We hear that Tyler Zeller has entered the mix for the Warriors at the 7th pick because Warriors executive Jerry West loves him.

Seven seems awfully high for a player that many projected as a mid-late first coming into the season.

The team could always look to trade down a few spots to the 10-12 range and likely still be able to grab him.

Source says Portland To Pick Dion Waiters At #6.

So Lillard to GS then?

Rivers to Toronto?

Drummond to Detroit?

Why does everybody think Steph is finished? If we was drafting a pg you would be hearing Curry trade rumors. No way could we draft a pg and have Steph ready to sign an extension.

Steph can easily move to the two for his outside shooting. He was basically a combo guard at Davidson and is as good of a scorer as distributor (maybe a better scorer). I don't think its the BEST move seeing they could use a forward with, but Lillard and Curry would be pretty exciting and potentially a great back court foundation.

you could always just move him to his natural position

Klay ain't a small forward tho. Lacob admitted the small backcourt didn't work so why would he do it all over again and have Steph defending nikkas like D-Wade and Kobe? Everybody seems to forget about Klay having a damn good season and being the best 2 guard of the 2011 draft.

Seems like there'll be a lot of movement in this draft + rubs hands

Klay plays 2 guard if thats what your saying. Steph passes too damn good to be a 2 guard. He'd get destroyed guarding Reke and Kevin Martin along with the Kobe's and Wade's.
