2016 NBA Draft Thread

Thursday, June 23, 2016 | Time: 7 pm | TV: ESPN 

I think this draft should be very eventful as this year's draft class isn't star studded. The first two picks are set but things will get unpredictable after that. With several teams without draft picks and a team like Boston holding a handful of picks, don't be surprised if there are plenty of trades.

It'll be interesting to see what the Hornets do with their pick. Will they stay put or will they trade it? They must consider the free agency period that looms when handling moves tonight. Any predictions?

This may be a deep draft but there really isn't a ton of talent. I think this makes for an interesting draft to watch.

First Round Order: 1. Sixers | Ben Simmons, LSU, 2. Lakers | Brandon Ingram, Duke , 3. Celtics | Jaylen Brown, Cal, 4. Suns | Dragan Bender, Croatia , 5. T'Wolves | Kris Dunn, Providence, 6. Pelicans | Buddy Hield, OU 7. Nuggets | Jamal Murray, Kentucky, 8. Suns | Marquese Chriss, Washington, 9. Raptors | Jakob Poeltl, Utah, 10. Bucks | Thon Maker, Australia  11. Thunder | Domantas Sabonis, Gonzaga12. Hawks | Taurean Prince, Baylor 13. Kings | Georgios Papagiannis, Greece, 14. Bulls | Denzel Valentine, MSU. 15. Nuggets | Juan Hernangomez, Spain 16. Celtics | Guerschon Yabusele, France 17. Grizzlies | Wade Baldwin IV, Vandy, 18. Pistons | Henry Ellenson, Marquette, 19. Nuggets | Malik Beasley, FSU, 20. Nets | Caris LeVert, Michigan, 21. Hawks | DeAndre Bembry, SJU, 22. Kings | Malachi Richardson, SU 23. Celtics | Ante Zizic, Croatia, 24. Sixers | Timothe Luwawu, France, 25. Clippers | Brice Johnson, UNC, 26. Sixers | Furkan Korkmaz, Turkey, 27. Raptors | Pascal Siakam, NMSU 28. Kings | Skal Labissiere, Kentucky, 29. Spurs | Dejounte Murray, Washington, 30. Warriors | Damian Jones, Vandy

well tonight was a bust.. getting all amped for the draft and .....

 

 

I was amped for the draft tonight because of the possibilities, and likelihood, of all the trades. I wasn't really excited to see who we'd pick at 22, so this trade doesn't  lessen the excitement for me.

I dont feel like looking, but iirc, didnt belinelli sign a 2 yr deal with sac last year?

I ask because it genuinely shows how stupid our FO is anx how skittish they are of drafting anyone now bc theyve been so bad at it.  Why do i say that?  Bc why trade a first round pick for a historically inconsistent outside shooter for one year, when if thats what you really wanted, you could target one in the draft and have him for 4 years or so?

Just stupid...  i already had low expectations going in after the last few drafts, but this was an even worse move than I couldve imagined.  We traded a first rounder for a MLE guy who shafted us in FA last year for a dysfunctional Sacramento team.  I give up...

He's signed for this year and next I believe. I will say it's extremely cap friendly.

So, there was an offer from the Bulls that would send Lavine, Pick 5 (Dunn) for Butler. I would have done that in a heartbeat if I was Minnesota. Especially since they already have Rubio. It's not like they are in dire need of a PG.

    • Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.  
    • I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football
    • I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
