Following potential 2015 draftees

we added 57 posts to this thread in under 4 hours .. not bad. We should charge NBA teams for all this analysis.

We should have set up that draft site we've talked about:

Nope. Not like I can hang around on the interwebz all day.

I would be thrilled with top 5.

Well I kinda have this feeling that this is truly our FINAL tank year. Basketball God must surely reward us for that. (the same way he/she rewarded the atrocious Clippers and the Cavs these past few years).

wtf?

There's something wrong with the way Myles Turner runs and moves laterally. Did he have a big growth spurt or something? It may be related to his back and core strength.

??? Don't tell me you know what gender the basketball God is.

LOL.. ya. Hate comps.. they rarely really work.

1. Okafor - Horford / Al Jeff.. WAY polished big man with a high floor but I think will be somewhat limited ceiling because somewhat below the rim guy.

2. Towns - hmmm.. Marc Gasol with NBA range? I don't really know.

3. Mudiay - John Wall (many of the same strengths and weaknesses) / Tyreke Evans

4. Johnson - Thad Young / Iguodala

So we gave up Al J so we could tank to draft...the next Al J?

Now that's some serious dump truckin'.

I think he grew 4" from 9th to 10th grade, 3" from 10th to 11th, and another 2.5" by start of college.

That's a lot of growing.. but not sure how it may have impacted him. No opinion there.

Haha.. I think Okafor will play harder.. but has some of the same limitations.

Towns is such a weird ****ing player. There is no comp for him. Maybe a Kanter/Gasol combo.

I'm not convinced Towns will ever be a solid defender in the NBA. Unfortunately, it's impossible to determine at the collegiate level because he's so humongous. Impo, he looks like he'll be able to defend post ups quite well, but will be slow defending the pnr and soft at the rim. Even if all that turns out to be the case, he still shows the potential of eventually being able to shoot from anywhere, make proper passes, and post up mother****ers.

Actually, Derrick Coleman was a comp I though of for Towns, a big and talented lefty with 3-pt range. The young version of Sam Perkins might also apply. I keep thinking of old-school players.
