2015 Draft a Franchise (NBA): Discussion Thread

[-Truth-]

Do y'all like the google doc system or the classic first post system?

I prefer the Google Doc. Took me just a few minutes to have the order straightened out.

Someone who has already picked and knows more about basketball than me want to give me an opinion on two players?

 

I can help you out if you want to send me a personal message or whatever

[MoveThoseChains]

Chris Paul may be getting up there but all around is still one of the best in the game. I'm happy with him.

Between Harden and CP3 at my pick. I quickly chose Harden after thinking about it for a minute, but CP3 is still a very great player and deserves to go top 10

Sure

Cue the *disappointed* from Hercules

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

No. 7, 9 and 10 on my board are still available

Just curious. Were Lebron and Durant on it at all? If I had #1 -2 overall pick I'd have both on. But if not I didn't even bother lol

I didn't expect Lebron to drop to No. 4, but I thought Durant might. He was No. 5 on my board with his inability to stay healthy over the last year. Still a top-3 talent though.

Rats. I was hoping that Cousins would fall to me.

[Inqui]

Cousins was the guy I had in mind when I was sixth in the order.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

About time Boogie went. He was No. 7 on my board. Hands down best true center in the game right now.

Just needs a better supporting cast, which I can't see happening any time soon. I can't think of any American sporting organisations that are as dysfunctional as the Kings, I'd have to go to Australia to find their match.

Yeah, the leap he took in playing D last year sold me. Huge jump in points allowed by the Kings with him off the court all of a sudden, on top of the scoring. Pity his organisation is such a mess lol, holding the man down.

Yeah they are a nightmare. Last night's trade didn't help.

Heard _____ is on their radar. I just don't see that working out for them

 

Just a heads up, but there's a gentleman's rule that we don't discuss players until they've been picked.

My bad. I'll delete that post.

No worries at all. Thanks for adhering. They have a ton of PGs on their radar though it seems lol

[Sons_of_Eli]

I remember when Cousins was on the BS Report (RIP) and he tried to name all of the eighty different point guards he's played with and he couldn't remember them all lol

 

Funny and tragic

Haha, no surprises here. Who else would have been more worried about the mention of that particular player?

lol I laughed at the coincidence too but he's nowhere to be found on my big board so there was zero concern. I've always made it a point to point out the rule. I also had several PGs in front of him last year too.

KD is still number 2, IMO. I was hoping but knew there was no way he'd fall to 5. For this game though I'd much rather have Davis. Crazy reminder: He just turned 22 in March. He has an all time great ceiling at his current pace. I can understand the argument for someone taking him over Lebron. I wouldn't though because Lebron still has a lot in him. He's still the clearly the best, IMO....I used to be a hater since he left Cleveland, but at one point in time I owned his jersey ....bought his shoes. (Even while he was messing my wizards up.) We're witnessing a legend still in his prime...The unibrow still has a long career ahead of him and has Lebron-great-like potential but I'm taking the 5 time defending Eastern champion.

My top 10 coming into this:

1. Lebron

2. Davis

3. KD

4. Steph

5. Westbrook

6. Wall

7. Cousins

8. Harden

9. Paul

10. Blake

You are all neglecting my Sixers...

Sam Hinkie is doing enough of that for all of us.

Kidding. I had to. I'm very curious to see how the situation progresses with the three big men.

Imagine if Karl fell to them and Okafor was taken by Min instead? (Assuming the lakers stay the same)

[Gordo52]

We're drafting coaches too, right?

The trade today was a definite step in the right direction for us.

That it is. I don't have much insight on the players involved, but based on where they were drafted, I have no idea why the Kings pulled the trigger there.

I like the Aldridge pick.
