By Moris Go To PostPhaze, who don't you think is a piece of shit this draft?
Who in this draft has all star potential?
I actually love this draft, just a few guys stand out as being landmines:
Mudiay - No tape
Kristaps - Numbers are bad
WCS - Just fukin overrated, laughable that he'd go top 10 imo
Oubre - Fuk shit
Harrell - 2nd round talent
I'm generally good with everyone else--Booker/Dekker/Kaminsky included.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postthe difference between a harrison twin pre-ncaa and mudiay is…what?
Mudiay has always had that Starbury, Wall, Rose level athleticism... That's about it
wcs' numbers not improving at all over 3 years of college is basically a huge "do no draft" stamp
any dumbshit gm who picks a guy in the top 10 whose ceiling is a role player is lawl

His FT% went from 37% his freshmen season to 62% his junior season. The mechanics on his mid-range jumper weren't nearly as good in his first two years and look solid enough for him to not destroy floor spacing a la DeAndre Jordan. The most frustrating thing to me about him is that he has fantastic footwork in the paint, but this touch around the basket is atrocious. Obviously won't develop into any kind of low-post threat, but still may eventually become serviceable with the right coaching.
But really, are we going to pretend that anyone's ceiling outside of Towns/Okafor/Russell/Mudiay is anything higher than role player? Let's not act like this is some stacked draft. More often than not, you celebrate if you end up grabbing a legitimate role player between 5-15.
Knux how long has Embiid been referring to himself as coach Embiid? You think he'll continue to have behavioral issues into the coming season? Will anyone be able to keep them in check?

He drew up a play in the last game of the season for the 76ers since the team intentionally threw that game. So that's why he refers to himself as Coach Embiid.
(they scored on the play he drew up though!)

no--a lot of guys in this draft have all-star ceilings beyond those you mentioned

This plus he's a young kid who was being held back from playing due to tank reasons. He was bored and honestly as long as he preforms I don't care how big of an asshole goof ball he is.

Emmanuel Mudiay won't visit the Kings
Well, fuck you very much too, Mudiay. Here's to you falling out of the Top 10.

By Zeus Ex Machina Go To Posthttps://twitter.com/chadfordinsider/status/606915746707283968I'm not even gonna speak on it anymore you guys will see. I just hope we fucking pick him.
I've been a vocal fuck mudiay at#4 but that 3 pt shot is looking real sweet…… If he can get that down he might be better than Russell especially if the knicks slot him in the 2.
By DY_nasty Go To Postwe are so fucked going into this draft
all we can do is trade up or down and everyone knows it
Yall just gotta hope Mario falls to you or hope that motivated Stanley Johnson can play the 2.
Portland might draft a guy that will be playing in Siberia after two unsuccessful seasons on the team with a borderline All-Star picked right after or land a borderline All-Star themselves. I never know anymore.
Why the fuck is Mudiay denying the 6th pick a workout, he really want to fall to Denver?
Mudiay worked out in LA this morning, had dinner last night with Mitch and basketball ops team.

I think he knows he gets taken in the top 4....
welp
Knicks aren't sold on him, Orlando doesn't need him. I think him sliding down is real and in that case I'd take my chances with Boogie and bad ownership than Gallo? and bad ownership.
Jazz need to trade up and draft Mudiay.
Corner the market on huge PGs that can't shoot that people know nothing about before the draft.

By Moris Go To PostI'm also banking on a draft day trade involving Mudiay if/when he slides.
Utah Jazz basketball.
Scott Howard-Cooper @SHowardCooper about 34 minutes agoCooper pls.
The Payne development could indicate Lakers/Knicks looking at trading down. But it's a sign of movement somewhere.
who's Cameron Payne?
Russillo
✔
@ryenarussillo
Russell is special, but Cameron Payne is in the same class when it comes to playmaking.
There's been speculation that Payne could be this year's version of Damian Lillard, a small school point guard who rises up draft boards in just a short time.come again?

Denver ain't taking him unless they can move Ty
By psychintellect Go To Postby all accounts they should probably move lawson.
maybe, Houston?
Spoilers from February 2016: "Ty Lawson dies of alcohol poisoning."

Comparing him to Lillard is a joke. Lillard's stroke is beautiful and he was actually able to finish inside against his weak ass NCAA conference. Payne is an average athlete while Lillard is a superb athlete at the PG position.
Payne's jumper is puke worthy and he soft as fuck. So, yeah, he'd fit right in on the Knicks. For real though, he's a much better playmaker than Lillard but the Knicks need some more gifted offensive talent right now over distributors.
Payne is a better playmaker than Damian, but his shot is odd and his flow is reliant on rhythm. NBA defenders are going to body him and throw him off.
I felt better about Payton last year than I do about Payne this year. I figured that Payton's defense and athleticism would translate to the NBA. Payne's pick n roll passing and ability to find people at the basket is nice. I still feel those things are reliant on getting to spots and being a shooting threat at the NBA level.
