Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[Handlogten's Heros]

Oof. I just watched a bunch of Grayson Allen and I hate to say this but I'm on the GA train. I feel dirty.

Why? Donte has just as good of numbers... is younger and people actually like him. Don’t do this to yourself... go watch the temper tantrum and if you haven’t changed your mind punch yourself in the groin... repeat until you are off the train.

He plays hard and with an edge. He's a fourth year player and overlooked. This is dumb, but kind of reminds me of Draymond in that respect. He looks like a choir boy. It's kind of like if John Stockton was a **** head. His shot is sound, he has range. I love his middle game and think he could be effective at all three levels. Plays smart (outside of being a dumb ***). He's very athletic. I think his stock is depressed because of his dumb **** he pulled, but JJ Redick was a turd at Duke too and he grew up. The more I think about it, the more I think this might be my guy.

Ugh I feel like one of those MAGA pukes just saying it.

Not bad... I think hawks would take Brown over KBD.

I wonder how Denver will trade 14 with faried for space... I don’t know that any teams currently have enough space... wonder if they agree and then execute in the new cap year when space opens up... draft night it won’t work imo.

Hawks have a GM and front office that are big into analytics. I think that KBD could catch their interest in that respect. Also, a Bamba/John Collins/KBD front court could be nasty. At least in theory. Bamba should be a great rim protector but might have some issues in PnR and when he has to switch. Collins is highly efficient offensively around the rim and from mid range but he can't really stretch the floor. KBD will cover the areas where those two guys have some weaknesses, he can switch on PnR and he can stretch the floor and knock down 3's.

I think that Dallas might do that deal with Denver. Dallas can absorb Faried's contract. They could really use that lottery pick. Another possibility is that Denver trades the 14th pick and Faried for an established player or two that can help them next year instead of trading for cap relief.

Did you just? Did you? You put Stockton’s name in post about GA.... I’m super sad rn.

If by edge you mean he gets overly emotional then yes... you do know that Dray could be Dray without going over the top complaining and screaming... honestly that edge is his biggest flaw. Boogie plays with “edge” too.

Donte>>>>Grayson

 

[Game6Conley]

Eww. I thought you might say something like Rashad Vaughn...

Dinwiddie 's legit and he can shoot. His ast/to ratio was awesome for the nets i was always a big supporter of his in these threads. He was one of the most improved players in the league.

I think Dallas wants to go after free agents though... Chicago could absorb a lot of it and send back Holiday... who would be helpful to Denver.

The rest I’m fine with... analytics guys generally hate older players.

You feel the way he plays.

No.

I hate Duke, hated Allen when all that stuff came out but I also like winning and he will help a team do that.

I don’t mind Donte, not super high on him, but GA will be the better pro.

Stockton is considered one of the dirtier nba players in the history of the game.

You want a guy with “edge” how about getting the guy with a championship “edge” who performed best when the lights were brightest...

Oh I forgot we want the guy who screams, trips, and gets emotional but poops his pants when it’s winning time. Look at his last two tournament games... he’s the most experienced guy on the court and he choked... hard.

If you want guys with screaming edge bring back Boozer he used to yell and fist pump all the time.... that **** is fake “edge”.

I’ve been studying this all day and I’m about 94% certain I have DL’s drafting strategies and patterns figured out and am pretty confident I know who we’re taking:

Donte.

In 2013, Dennis took Trey Burke. Two years later, he took Trey Lyles. In 2014, he took Dante Exum. Two years (of game play) later, and he’ll take Donte D.

Keeping with the pattern, next year we’ll draft Tony Jones, if he declares.
