2015 Draft a Franchise (NBA): Discussion Thread

[Sons_of_Eli]

Charles Piutau has no business being an All Black.

 

*listens to sound of no-one getting the reference*

how dare u

[Inqui]

I don't know about 4 years but I like him a lot.

I thought he was a key part of our ITM Cup run in 2011. A black jersey would have been a bit much at that point, but that was about the time when the Canes' roster was getting pulled apart.

how dare u

 

No homer.

[Mt. Crushmore]

These teams are stacked

[Inqui]

He's so impressive. I'm not a big Duke fan by nature, but couldn't help but root for them this year with Winslow and Jah. 

 

 

I think he's pretty much a lock to be solid and that you pretty much know what you're getting with him. Can't go wrong with a rim protector, pick and roll defender and offensive rebounder of his caliber. 

I suspect I know who your target is, but you're up in a couple of hours so we'll see if I'm right.

Was thinking the same haha. A lot of nice squads

Gordo52 has been skipped so you are now on the clock.

Good pick in Plumlee.

[MoveThoseChains]

Was considering Plumlee nice pick

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Pretty much taking guys I like at this point. McCollum does have insane upside though. He averaged 17 points, 4 boards and a steal during his coming out party in the playoffs. With Wes and Afflalo gone, he's poised for a nice year.

Last year they were really good and I'm pretty sure there are less teams this year.

I took notice of the Blazers upcoming roles with so many departures, but I forgot about CJ. He should have an expanded role, like Davis and Plumlee. Nice upside pick

Yup, the Blazers are nice team to pick from right now with so many up and coming guys getting minutes. You can throw in a certain sophomore they just acquired as well.

 

CJ's been a personal favorite of mine since he went absolutely off against Duke in the tournament a few years  back. 

[Gordo52]

Damn does that still count as a skip? lol

Thanks for the compliments. Think he's good value at this point.

[gabefergy]

McCollum and Plumlee were two of my top players remaining. McCollum has been on my team the past two years, he can fill it up.

It does unfortunately. It was very close though. You're on a 6 hour time limit from now on. Fortunately, we don't have many rounds to go. I definitely agree on the value aspect. I was strongly considering him with my last selection.

Looks like you'll be up again at 2:54 PM EST.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Had to make sure I got my boy. Check out this block in Orlando:

I could've bet money that you would've taken him at one point or another lol Solid prospect though and he played well in the summer league.

[MoveThoseChains]

I didn't expect people to have Turner towards the top of their board, I was hoping to draft him in this upcoming round or the round after. Leave it to the Texas fan Nice grab, he had a great summer league. Also.. "Myles is a little bit better than I thought he was," said Bird. "He’s got a talent that we don’t have here. He’s going to play a lot of minutes." That's always encouraging.

Haha you know it.

 

As I told Truth, I met him at a burrito shop down the street from where I lived last semester. He's a really nice guy, so I had to take him.

That's awesome. I hope he develops into a solid player and good professional, on and off the court.

I don't know about 4 years but I like him a lot.

 

You're back on the clock.

You're on.

[MoveThoseChains]

You're on.

Cool. I'll make my pick within 30 min

[MoveThoseChains]

For some reason I like Shaun Livingston and his game. At 6 foot 7, he is very lengthy which causes trouble for opposing point guards. He also has the ability to guard shooting guards and small forwards with that size. On offense, he bring a little bit of everything, besides 3 point shooting. I just like his overall game, and it's a shame he had a devastating injury early in his career. Glad to see him get a ring.

I'm on my phone and I always mess that up because it's hard to get to the big board through mobile lol so I had to make sure

 

You're on the clock.

he's perfect to pair with an undersized guard like curry or Allen Iverson kind of deal. Even Dwyane Wade really

McCollum and Plumlee were two of my top players remaining. McCollum has been on my team the past two years, he can fill it up.

 

You are on the clock.
