The Official 2017 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Zach Collins with 9'3" standing reach

6'11" wingspan for Hammy



I'd definitely take a chance on Giles with a late first, those knees brittle but if they could hold up

 

[tremonthustler1]

that doesn't sound right at all
you can tryout for a g-league squad once you turn 18
and then get called up as soon as the main squad feels like

so if you're really a blue chip they'd just sign you and then maybe let you play in the g-league until they thought you were ready

Wrong. You'd be ineligible to be called up to an NBA roster until you entered the draft. Like Breh said, PJ Hairston left UNC and went to D-League, but couldn't get called up til he got drafted

Brooklyn gonna have two 1sts in the 20s, I'd expect they'll take him if he's there

Collins could go as high as 6. He really boosted his stock to where I can't see him falling out of the lottery. Biggest beneficiary of Robert Williams going back to school.


Markkanen also getting enough love to where 10 might be his floor.

I don't know if they'll do it, they took a chance on McCullough and that didn't pan out for them

I liked Collins during the tourney, he immediately jumped out from the rest of the players, not having T-rex Arms will help him, his wingspan isn't great but that standing reach makes up for it.

If Hami stays (and I hope like hell he doesn't), Brooklyn better take him

You're taking about Hami or HG?

Either way, I'd take a chance on either in the 20s

I remember when people were trying to say OG had the 7'6 wingspan not Bryant

They are both still really impressive though. Bryant just needs to learn how to run like Myles.

McCullough wasn't the projected #1 pick before he got hurt though

Yeah I was talking about Giles

I liked Feguson till I saw that wingspan

Collins reminds me of Myles Turner a little

@Poitier Do you know JJ Redikk's hand size?

I'm curious how it compares to Kennard.

 

[Poitier]

its about what he has consistently measured since HS

@Poitier Do you know JJ Redikk's hand size?

nope not on DX

Monte Morris could have a nice rise if he plays well, coupled with his strong finish to the season.
