Following potential 2015 draftees

I have never even seen a clip of D'Angelo Russell play. Nor have I looked at a single boxscore of his.


I like him tho. Purely because he has the best first name ever #BlackMessiah

Needs to tighten and lower his dribble. Needs to get down on defense. Needs to not ballhog.
The first two are easy corrections, the last is a huge maybe.

I'm concerned with how he would work in a system that uses a LOT of ball movement.
 
So what do we do if we land the top pick... just curious? Are Okafor or Towns going to be better than Favs or Gobert? Would you trade down and pick up other assets and take one of the SF/SG prospects?

I like the way this draft lines up with where we will likely fall in the draft order. I like Russell, Johnson, Winslow and Hezonja... I think they are all really good pieces that would fit well. If Exum doesn't end up working out having a guy like Russell would be great. I think Johnson will be a stud, but have read some stuff regarding work ethic/attitude that are a bit concerning...nothing too serious though.
 
Had a (wet) daydream a minute ago that we won the lottery and ended up drafting Okafor

PG - Exum
SG - Burks?
SF - Hayward
PF - Favors
C - Okafor

...with Gobert off the bench. Ho baby.

I've seen Mudiay play zero times, so in light of that Okafor is the no-brainer best player in this draft. But I'm with the majority - if we're in 5-8 range, I'm a big fan of anyone in the Russell/Johnson/Winslow trio (can't say I've seen Hezonja play either).

Still high on WCS as well, but I think we have more of a need on the perimeter, as well as a need for more pop offensively. As talented as he is, I don't see WCS ever averaging more than 9/10 ppg.

Okafor is not the no-brainer best player in this draft. He might be the best immediately but I wonder about others developing and will he ever be better than Kanter at defense?
