Following potential 2017 draftees...

[Dr. Jones]

Harry Giles from DUKE ... remember his name ....

Lulz... you heard it here first gents. OL has discovered the top rated player in the draft.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Markelle Fultz is going to kill it next year.

Markelle Fultz is going to kill it next year.

Yep.

Does anyone know if the Ibaka trade affected the draft pick owed to us? Is it now a possibility to receive it in 2017?

 

[Forever Jazz]

Earliest we can get the OKC pick is 2018 because they gave Philly their pick this year. All depends on Durant staying or leaving. We won't get the pick if they're in the lottery.

 

[karl malone]

My understanding was that teams can not go back to back years without making a 1st rd selection. Does acquiring the draft rights to Sabonis not essentially nullify the fact that OKC traded this year's 1st rd pick?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Where do we predict we will be picking in '17?

 

[stitches]

Where do we predict we will be picking in '17?

22 and 28? If we get working on Cappy's voodoo dolls thread maybe 15 and 22?

 

[Dr. Jones]

One of the short term rental (possibility) of Hill is how stacked '17 is for PG's. Hill gives Exum a year to breathe and then we either let him go (because Exum is good) or resign him (because Exum hasn't yet proven) and have the ability to draft Exum's backup, if need be. Anyway...........

My WAY TOO EARLY mock.

1. Harry Giles (PF)
2. Josh Jackson (SG/SF
3. Markelle Fultz (PG)
4. Dennis Smith (PG)
5. Jayson Tatum (SF)
6. Frank Ntilikina (PG)
7. De'Aaron Fox (PG)
8. Edrice "Bam" Adebayo (PF)
9. Malik Monk (SG/combo)
10. Jarrett Allen (C)
11. Lonzo Ball (PG)
12. Ivan Rabb (PF)
13. Omer Yurtseven (C)
14. Marques Bolden (C)
15. Thomas Bryant (PF)
16. Johnathan Isaac (SF)
17. Jonathan Jeanne (C)
18. Miles Bridges (SF)
19. Isaiah Hartenstein (PF)
20. Tyler Lydon (SF/PF)
21. Rodions Kurucs (SF)
22. Grayson Allen (SG)
23. Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk (SG)
24. Ogugua Anunoby (SF)
25. Justin Jackson (SF)
26. Devin Robinson (SF)
27. Monte Morris (PG)
28. Lauri Markkanen (PF)
29. Chimezie Metu (PF)
30. Jessie Govan (C)

I think it's a two-man first tier again between Giles and Josh Jackson.
2nd tier goes 3 - 9.
3rd tier goes 10 - 18.
4th tier goes 19 - 30.

 

[Dr. Jones]

But it's obviously too early with 2/3's of those guys having never played a college game.

We need to get one of the PGs if our PG doesn't improve this year. I'd love any of the top 5-6 PGs. I think all of them are better than this draft's best PG(Dunn).
