Following potential 2015 draftees

Best thing about Stanley Johnson is that he could be a good small ball 4 like Draymond Green. If he can do that, his value goes up quite a bit in my book.

Nice Grantland article on Mario

Does anyone have any idea why Daniel Diez and Arturas Gudaitis are not listed in staying in or leaving the upcoming draft? DX doesn't have them listed anywhere but are still in their mock draft.

I guess Stanley Johnson has worked out for detroit.

NBAdraft.net finally has us drafting Myles Turner. It's been Sam Dekker for almost two months. lol

But we can.. We have one of the if not the best training staffs in the league. Whatever prospect comes here is already at an advantage.

A lot of a players development is the situation. Look at Kawhi Leonard in San Antonio. No way he's as good if he's anywhere else.

So yeah, whoever we get I will be happy with because we have an elite training staff and I will trust DL's decision making.

Trey Burke.

I just finished the Locke & Ford pod cast, that is who they compared him too. Which makes it seem all the stranger that he is not talked about more.

Totally. That's why his measurements were so disappointing, though I guess he's still young.

Green has more length, but Johnson has more ball skills for sure.

The lists of people leaving are the early entrants, once the turn 22 they are auto eligible. My guess is those guys are 22.

Nets want to move up in the draft and reportedly are willing to trade Plumlee to do it. Not sure I'd bite, but it's a legit discussion. Nets must be ready to hit the reset button.

I hate Plumlee as a 3rd big for us. Offers no unique skills to Favors/Gobert and is a horrendous FT shooter.

And at 25, he is a pretty old 3rd year player who doesn't look like he is going to expand his skill set.

Walt Perrin is the master of saying something without saying anything. Every interview: He plays hard, he looked good...blah, blah, blah. Just once, I would like to hear him say, man, that dude has no chance in this league.
