The Official 2017 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Frump]

Let's be honest a lot of these are smoke screens about players moving into the top 3 is bs

Tier 1 is Fultz Ball and Jackson and there is a big dropoff after the top 3. They will be picked in the top 3 nobody is reaching for need when there is a big talent drop off

@Skooby @Serious @thelonious21 Portland is up. If y'all don't wanna pick let me know.


Updated mock tomorrow before I travel. If you're worried about the lack of news it's because more players are just doing solo workouts. I'll let you know when some dates open up.

I think I want OG Anunoby, but since hes gone hmmm

Anigbogu sounds like a hustle player? Shouldnt we take a bigger risk/reward pick here?

Ill think about once Portland chooses

Originally I wanted Diallo but he's going back to school. Anunoby off the mock board but if he's on the board in real life I'd take him. Given the circumstances though I like Anigbogu's frame at his size and it makes me like him more than anyone else on the board, and there's hardly any guard prospects in our range. I think he can be DeAndre Jordan-lite, just run, dunk and block shots, as opposed to portis

he could probably play alongside Portis and offer the athleticism Bobby doesnt?

I dunno, he screams hustle player / backup big

I dont know much about him, I could be wrong

Well none of the bigs on the board are going to start over RoLo in these next few years

If not him that leaves Kennard and Ferguson.

Oh yeah, Rolo too

Ferguson .. Mitchell ... ? I dunno

Would Allen not go ahead of Anigbogu?

OG tore his ACL, he's going to take a while to get the mojo back, and he wasn't a very good shooter prior to the injury.

I just like the idea of him switching everything on defense alongside Jimmy ... let Jimmy rock PG on offense and put Denzel in the mix at the 2 for spacing

I dunno. If he can develop the ability to make an open 3 I like the defense/athleticism he could add to the Bulls (we need it)

OG ain't getting past 14

heat have winslow? hard to close games with both of those guys spacing wise

he had an ACL tear, he could drop some

He ain't gon start tho plus if we don't trade the pick we need to draft BPA
