A bunch of years ago I checked every mock from NBADRAFT.NET and they hit on like 10% of our actual picks (I think it was D-Will, Kanter and Pavlovic). It'd be cool to learn which draft site has been the most accurate for us.

None of them are accurate until the day before
 
I really don’t want to get my hopes up with Black because I don’t think he will be there at 9.

Bilal/JHS/GG. That's an interesting draft. If you cut GG, it would be 3 years contract over 5 years. At that spot why not, and it would be something he may need. I think his issues stems around economics and extreme worries around his family. It would be a big deal, but that kind of turnaround could make a good movie. :) Plus JHS is super mature so there is no load on the development staff. Bilal needs some help but I think he is super quick learner. So GG is the one that would need a lot of attention. Yes, let's go all in on upside.

I can see Rudy Gay helping him alot. Even Ryan Smith could spend a lot of time with this kid to help him.

Whoever advised GG to jump up a draft class didn't do him a favor. It doesn't look like he has the maturity to be a pro at this stage.

Vecenie had a pod on Bilal today and I thought it hit a lot of the thoughts I have on him. Until the last couple weeks he had a usage similar to Isaac Okoro... he could be awesome or pretty meh... he's the biggest swing in the draft and it really depends on if you believe in his lower league or most recent production. I buy that and think its reasonable... i think there are lots of middle ground outcomes too. Just not quite a bet I would make at 9 but probably not there at 16.

They also talked Ausar and I think that is the guy most likely to slide to #9 of the group of Taylor, Jarace, Ausar.

Part of the argument for Bilal is that he's playing important minutes and being allowed to make important decisions with the ball, which shows his coaches really believe in him.

The reports are now that Kyrie is likely to stay with Dallas as they are going to be willing to offer him more money and years than anyone else.

They aren't drafting Anthony Black, and if you're a Black stan you should hate the idea of Dallas drafting him because they are just going to turn him into another Josh Green.

I heard someone recently compare him to Bruce Brown (......*ducks and runs*)

Eventually. There was a lot of inefficient chucking that happened for a lot of the year before he broke out, punctuated by an amazing dunk here or there.

You’re obviously grading on an incredibly high rookie curve. It was clear pretty quick that he was a stud and he showed it many times. He was winning playoff series as a rookie.
