Realistically, what would be a draft you're happy with?

9: Marcus Morris

A few weeks ago I was completely against taking Morris here, but the more highlights I watch the more I come to like him. He seems good at getting offensive rebounds and isn't afraid to go back up with it. I've also seen him operating from the top of the key some and he has a smooth jumper. He could be a nice, versatile player for us.

19: Marshon Brooks or Shelvin Mack

Brooks if he's there, but with how he has been performing as of late I think it's 50/50. We need an energetic scorer coming off the bench to provide a nice backup behind Hendo.

I wouldn't mind a Euro center either or Tristan Thompson at 9. Obviously if Kawhi Leonard is there we grab him but that is highly unlikely. I like Morris's versatility a lot, I didn't know he played like that honestly.

My incredible interest in this draft has me looking up mock drafts on a daily basis. It has become evident to me that beyond the first two picks. Nobody has a clue what is going to happen.

Honestly I would be happy with a plethora of people.

At 9 I would say my top 3 are as follows

1. Kemba Walker (Yes there are mocks out there that say he could fall to us although unlikely)

2. Alec Burks

3. Jordan Hamilton

I honestly don't see whats so great about Marcus Morris and I would be OK with us picking him but I would feel like we missed an opportunity to have something better.

At 19 it goes

1. Bismack Biyombo

2. Marshon Brooks

3. Chris Singleton

4. Nikola Vucevic

Vucevic has been shooting up boards and I personally think he would be a very nice center for us.

There one player that I would just be infuriated with us selecting is Jimmer Fredette. I think he is going to be an absolute scrub in the NBA, feel free to hate.

Rick Bonnell was on Busting Loose with Frank and Moose (WFNZ) yesterday and said the cats really like Singleton (F-FSU), Brooks (G-Prov), and Vucevic (C-USC)..fwiw..Singleton paried with Hendo would make one of the best defensive shooting guard/small forward combo's in the league...

Agreed. Too bad the Bobs would lose most games 70-65 with a lineup featuring Hendo and Singleton. If Boris loses his job to Tyrus and Kwame is still the starter at C, yikes! That team couldn't score!

I agree, but hopefully hendo can build his offensive rep into a viable second option. Marshon brooks makes more sense to me though

Whatever nets us a scorer and bigman. SF and C prefered....

9.1 Kawhi Leonard SF * will probably be off the board

9.2 Chris Singleton SF * im high on him

9.3 Marcus Morris PF * solid ready to contribute right away

9.4 Jordan Hamilton SF * possibly the best scorer in the draft

9.5 Tristan Thompson PF * reminds me of Tyrus Thomas

19.1 Bismack Biyombo PF/C * a steal if he is still here

19.2 Marshon Brooks SG * one of the best scorers in draft

19.3 Kenneth Faried PF/C * hustle, simply put

19.4 Klay Thompson SG * the 3 pt shooter Silas wants

19.5 Nikola Vucevic PF/C * potential, simply put

I'm really warming up to the idea of Chris Singleton at number 9. Singleton is tabbed as the best defensive player in the draft and from what I've read he has a decent offensive game, just had trouble showcasing it in the slow FSU offense. Either way, he could work on his offensive game similar to Hendo.

At 19 I would be happy with Marshon Brooks or Nikola Vucevic. Brooks could be the dynamic scorer we need to build around or Vucevic could be the solid (probably not a superstar but a solid rebounder and scorer) to hold down the C position. If we could only get both somehow...

    • 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.
