The Official 2017 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[trick]

Y'all been needing someone to fill the white stretch 4 role since Bargnani left

I'll stab my eyes out like Houston if I have to relive that nightmare

 

[str8up]

Who do you like this year?

I'm all aboard the Jonah Bolden train.

Same. I'm really surprised he's ranked so low on most mocks. He's not even on Kevin O'Connor's mock for the Ringer. I did read that Masai traveled to Belgrade with Weltman this year (he said this after Weltman was hired by Orlando), so at least they've scouted him.

I'm a fan of Ojeleye and Justin Jackson too. No idea if Ojeleye can defend SFs, but at least he can shoot the 3 well.

Hopefully they'll play whoever they draft, but I doubt it since Casey is coming back.



Do they really need more cacs at the 4? They already have Ellenson and Leuer

Any gems that can be there when the Lakers pick 28th bruhs?

Yes. Diallo returning sucks for y'all, but there should be some guys that could contribute for y'all. Also, you have a high 2nd rounder, so I could see a stash of some sort or at least drafting someone primarily to develop with the D-Fenders

Think I saw Vecenie and Schmitz questioning his athleticism and the competition over there.

What do y'all think the chances are Jordan Bell is still there at 37? Celtics could really use an energy big off the bench that will defend and crash the boards, because they sure as hell don't have that now and haven't for a minute.

possible. Very possible.

@LezJepzin @Sonny Corinthos time for the Kings to pick

 

[Wargames]

Not gonna read too much into highlights but what position is he suppose to be in the league? He looks pretty damn slow in these clips. Looks like he's got a decent skill level but his foot-speed or lack there of jumps out to me.

I see him as a SF. So he would operate as a point foward

I'm gonna go with SF Justin Jackson from North Carolina.

The only question mark is will he be Marqius Chrissed on draft day? Especially if Bogdan Bogdanović decides to come to the states

#10 is gonna be a wildcard but for Mocks Sake and for now, Jackson is my choice.
