Official 2016 NBA Draft Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Wonder who Brooklyn will target at 20. Not many great PG options at that spot. Could be a big who maybe slips.

Isaiah Whitehead.

Isaiah Whitehead.

That's kind of a reach at that spot, IMO. I think Brooklyn might try to go after Conley now. They could try to use that 20th pick on another PF. They just cleared up additional cap space by trading Thad without any returning salary.

Conley or Rondo?

Jonathan Wasserman: No surprise, but have heard Nets will look to move up for Brooklyn native Isaiah Whitehead

Sound advice.

The main story-line is obviously what's going to happen at number 3.

If the Celtics keep it, who do they pick? It would have huge repercussions on the next 5 picks.

If the Celtics trade it, who wants who?

I say if the Celtics trade the pick, there won't be many more trades in the top-10. If the Celtics keep the pick, I think we could see a lot of movement in the top-10.

I know for the Kings they are banking on Bender and Chriss being taken ahead of them so one of the guards can fall, and if they are sitting at 8 with none of them available, they'll trade back and take Baldwin.

I expect them to be sitting there with Brown on the board.

No Hield, no Murray, no Dunn.

Melo, Lowry, Butler, Jordan to play for U.S. in Rio
Team USA starting to shape up. In addition to these 4, we also got commitments from Draymond, Durant, and Cousins.

The Kings? Yeah I'd be happy with Brown, we could trade Rudy Gay for some pieces if that's the case too.

I wonder who my Blazers will take.
















































in 2017.

Mccaw, Levert, Cat Barber and Brice as my sleepers

Love me some Cat Barber.

Also interested where Uthoff and Niang go being from Iowa. Both projected late 2nd so we will see.

It would have been really interesting to see a lineup of Lebron, PG, Kawhi Durant, Draymond on the court at the same time. Nobody has a position. It would be amazing.

Straight up trade for Nick Young!!!!

but I thought you LOVED Swaggy P, ma'am...

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

but I thought you LOVED Swaggy P, ma'am...

I'd happily trade him for a new bar of soap in the locker room showers right now

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Kris Dunn being projected as the #3 pick on most mock drafts i've seen. I don't rate him that high!

If im Boston I would only take okafor. Im just not a big fan of Noel.

I feel the opposite. Noel's defense is more valuable to me than Okafor's post offense. All depends on what style you want to run and who else is on your team.

Noel's rim protection with that defense?

Stevens just creamed himself.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Interesting.

Any thoughts on where he could end up? I think a team like Phoenix could be interested for a player and future first maybe.
