The Official 2017 NBA Draft Talk Thread

He can be "healthy" but I doubt he'll ever get the level of explosiveness back that he once had.

His whole game was based off of that. He can still be a decent rim runner and rebounder though, I just don't see him becoming top 3 in this class again.

It's a shame because he probably would have been the 1st pick before all the injuries

pre injury Giles would have been the missing piece for the Celtics

I refuse to believe they would take Fox. Colangelo should be fired on the spot if that happens.

If they take JJ he's basically a wing version of Fox.

Monk is the best fit but JJ and Fox are superior talents so it depends if they go for need or fit

I don't like Jackson in Philly either.

I can see it's not a perfect fit but I'm staunchly a bpa guy in the NBA especially if one is a much better prospect. Tie or close goes to the fit but not if there's a big talent gap

It makes sense if they feel like his shot is correctable, they do need someone that can break down a defense and get into the middle of the paint.


But, they have the Lakers pick next year and Sexton/Duval would probably be better fits.

He'd fit in better than DSJ in theory

If patty mills is affordable thats probably a better option for them.

He couldn't get a promise from a team. I'm glad to have him back but he needs to put in Frank Mason type of work this offseason. He needs to lose some weight to get his quickness back and show he's more than a catch and shoot guy.

I'm hoping Self lets him play in P&R action but shyt he barely let JJ do it..

I agree about Sexton.

The thing is we will have to wait and see how they feel about trading down. Because right now there is no way in hell I'd take Sexton or Duval top 5 next year.

Taking Monk at 3 wouldn't be as much of a reach as the two next year would.

I'm not too worried for him at all, he's younger than Josh Jackson and is about to be a Senior.

I really like the idea of them going after Frank Jackson.

@dtownreppin214 @track 1 your turn to select

@LezJepzin stay alert

Idiots.

They got Jayson Tatum sitting there for them and they're gonna pass. Retarded. Tatum with Simmons and Embiid would make them a championship contender in 3 years.

If I'm the Lakers I offer them Russell for the #3 pick since they are determined to get a PG.
