What's new

Following 2016 potential draftees

I mean if Buddy Hield couldn't shoot would you want him?

If Dragan Bender was 6'9" no one would want him

If Kris Dunn wasn't so long he's really just a crappy PG who can't shoot

If Jaylen Brown wasn't an elite athlete then he's really just a wing who can't shoot...

Enes refused to work out at first right? It sure is not promising news, but never say never.

I am trying to stay positive but this situation is different. Enes wanted to avoid Utah but Furkan has no reason to do this. He will workout for teams in the 14-16 range. Why should he refuse to do this for the 12. pick which would mean more salary because of his buyout situation (2 million).

I would love him. This would be a good place for him to develop defensive side of his game. O is already there.

2. Dragan Bender

Consensus: 3.4 WARP

As previewed in my discussion of Bender's potential with Ford, the Croatian forward by way of Israeli power Maccabi Tel Aviv projects as the second-best prospect in the draft, ahead of consensus top-two pick Brandon Ingram.

Bender's projection considers strictly his performance for Maccabi and does not include his impressive 2014 FIBA Europe U-18 play, which earned one of the highest scores ever for a young international player from draft analyst Layne Vashro.

11. Wade Baldwin

Consensus: 1.7 WARP

Before he was in the first round of mock drafts, Baldwin's performance as a freshman in 2014-15 pegged him as a sleeper. His combination of playmaking and shooting ability is relatively rare.

Among sophomores in my college database, the only previous player with a projected assist rate better than seven per 100 plays and projected 3-point shooting better than 35 percent was Chris Paul.

19. Patrick McCaw

Consensus: 1.5 WARP

The top-rated 3-and-D wing in this year's draft by my projections, McCaw is a prolific thief who brings unusual ballhandling skill for a role player on the wing. He isn't yet a consistent 3-point threat, but he could probably survive without major improvement there, along the lines of players such as Corey Brewer and Iman Shumpert.
 
JUAN HERNANGOMEZ might be the perfect fit on this team.

Might be right. I need to learn more, and I worry if his defense will be the good-tweener defense rather than the bad-tweener defense, but I'm intrigued with what little I know so far.

Would my game be as good if I didn't make all the bitches wet?
