Following 2016 potential draftees

I'm cooling on my hype for Ellenson. His feet are a bit slow on defense. I don't see him as being more than a barely adequate defender, if that. He struggles to get above the rim without a running start. He can bulk up and nail his jumper, but as skilled as he is, he's a bit less athletic than Kanter was, imo. Just not that bouncy.

He's an okay prospect; not great, but won't be terrible either. He's like a poor man's Kevin Love... and I'm not a big fan of Love.

I'd take him in the mid teens.

Malachi Richardson finally got a huge bump in DX's mock draft that more accurately matches the hype we have been reading. They have him going 16th to the Celtics now.

Took them long enough. Listing him in the 2nd round was embarrassingly bad.

Boston and Minnesota believed to be interested in trading their lotto picks for Jimmy Butler or a player of that stature. Bulls are rumored to like Kris Dunn.

Kind of hope he goes to Minnesota. At first it sounds scary, but Minnesota would have to give up Dieng/LaVine and that would kill their depth. Wiggins/Rubio/Butler would be the worst shooting starting backcourt in the NBA by far.
