Following potential 2015 draftees

ok let me chime in here

1st - vezenkov has an elite talent in shooting. he is extremely vertically challenged. if korver can make it in the nba vezenkov can. I think a stretchy 4 is ok but if he wants to survive in the nba he will have to transform himself into a 3. he plays with a lot passion and I like that. seems to have a good motor also. I like him a lot in the second round. perfect draft and stash player.

2nd - Johnson has a chance to slip because of his athletism. his stats seems to be coming back to earth lately. the one thing Winslow has going for him is nba athletism.

3rd - hezonja is one the best offensive talents in the draft. the big question marks are attitude issues and defense. I think he would fit great in Utah.

4th - Russell is ball dominate at osu and may not be that in the nba. he will go top 4 I guarantee it.

5th - a lot of things are going to change this month with march madness. not to mention measurements will be huge for players closely compared.

I don't think Vezenkov is going to guard 3s, or 4s either. He's a guy you have to hide defensively, but his quick release and shooting range make up for it. What do his rebound and steal numbers look like?

I'm just here drooling over Russell. We need to phone Cleveland and ask how they did it.

I don't follow the hornets but I would guess it's because he's playing behind Cody Zeller and just not getting enough playing time?


Strange why the Hornets would have drafted him and not developing him.

He got hurt and wasnt able to do the preseason routine with the team and really put him behind. The coaching staff is all about winning right now and he is too far behind to get minutes and be developed. Bad timing with an injury and the coaching staff thinks he is going to take awhile to develop. Plus Marvin Williams is getting the minutes he might have got when he was drafted.

That release is just so smooth and fast :eek: Reminds me of Curry.
 
I can't see how Russell falls below the top 5. He's dramatically better than Brad Beal, and he can play either guard position.

Yep, defensively you have to hide him, but at the very least he seems to have the smarts and basketball IQ and will probably not have problems with rotations.

His rebounding is great. Right now he's 2nd in the Greek league in scoring and 4th in rebounding. Stats: 18.5 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 1.8 APG, 0.84SPG, 0.32BPG... that's in 32MPG.

PER36: 20.8 Pts, 8.9 Rbs, 2.0 Ast, 0.95 Stl, 0.36 Blk
 
I think this has been talked about else where, but what would it take to trade up for Russell? Or what would everybody be willing to give up for him?

I'd trade Burke, Hood (Though I'd be really sad), #11 pick, our 2016 first round pick (unprotected), 2017 Golden State pick, 2018 Thunder pick. I think the most likely team to trade with would be the 76ers...
 
I'm now going to make an effort to really like Stanley Johnson...


Edit: He doesn't shoot well enough to be what we need. Not sure if he can make himself a good shooter. Maybe.
