2015 Draft a Franchise (NBA): Discussion.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Really torn between 3 guys here

Only concern for me is his injury, but he's still one of the top offensive and very very good defensive centers in the league.

 

My whole board got wiped out, but I really really wanted Horford

 

Same here, and it's a notable concern given that's torn his pectoral two seasons ago as well. Agreed on what he provides. I might switch him to the position he's hoped to see more time at, that being PF, but it certainly helps that he's played and excelled at Center.

 

Sorry to hear that. Fortunately, you're only a pick away and there are still some very good players available.

You are up.

Good pick in Ellis.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Ellis definitely played better with the Mavs this year.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Mike Conley

(On Mobile)

 

He was taken already by SAM

[Geving]

Damn, good pick in CP25

[NFLfan123]

Ellis has been one of my favorite players for years from his Warriors days. Nice pick

[NFLfan123]

Damn, good pick in CP25

Lol. Of course coming from you

[Mt. Crushmore]

Calvin is online so I would think we will have a new pick soon.

[-Truth-]

Surprised to see a repeat this soon.

[CalvinSmoke]

Lol thanks for the pms and also informing me of my slip up

[NFLfan123]

Lol thanks for the pms and also informing me of my slip up . Hard to keep up with stuff when out and about

nice pick with paul millsap

nice pick with paul millsap

Thank you, between Millsap, Carmelo and DeRozan I have a core of athleticism that should be able to defend and score with anyone.

Good pick with Millsap. But I don't think you're getting much defense from either of the three. That's arguably the biggest liability with each of them. They'll definitely be able to score and provide athleticism, however.

This so much but better for us

 

You are on the clock.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

I've been really tempted to take Millsap but I figured a combo and him and love would be a disaster defensively 

 

 

Great pick in your case though

[Gordo52]

PF is so damn deep.

lol Paul is an average at best defender but I believe Carmelo to be a very solid defender. As well as DeRozan. Carmelo even guards the post well when isolated. But I won't be holding anyone under 80 haha

[SecretAgentMan]

Ha. You taking Conley earlier. Conley sucks so much and it was WAY too early. Only a total moron would take him earlier than this

haha no you made a good pick man PG is a little thin

[Gordo52]

A lota thin. That's another reason why Beal is so valuable to me. He can play the point when needed.

I agree on Anthony's post defense, and I think the latter two have improved defensively. Time will tell whether that becomes a trend. Perhaps I overstated my comment. I just wouldn't go as far as saying that they can defend with anybody.

Damn, good pick in CP25

Haha thanks. I think Parsons is an underrated player. He's a very good shooter and he does a lot of little things to help the team win.

That he is, and with his dependable outside shooting, he's a good complement to your backcourt offensively.

[Sizzlebshu]

You are on the clock.

Brb be back in 23 hrs and 59 mins

Sounds good. You'll be skipped by then.

My only question is why he was still on the board

[-Truth-]

My only question is why he was still on the board

 

I assume it's because of his deficiencies. He's arguably one of the best facilitators in the NBA, there's no question there. But he hasn't managed to develop as a perimeter shooter, which would make him a bigger threat offensively than he currently is. He obviously has a knack for coming up with loose balls and steals, but his defense is average to below average otherwise. With a complement of viable scorers and on-the-ball defenders, he'll make for a solid piece.

With the 13th pick in the DAF NBA draft, Baltimore Bacon selects:
