2016 NBA Draft Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 9

Idt it matters if they find a worthy trade partner, makes me sad watching him be underutilized like this

 

eh after he has been exposed most of the playoffs on both ends and going to be owed over 20 million a year on his new contract with the cavs i would hope we wouldn't exercise that thought of him coming back. especially if we will be having to pay wiggins/towns in a couple years.

at this point i hope we keep the draft pick at 5 and murray falls to us, then we trade rubio and go after conley in free agency. wishful thinking, haha.

 

There's like 0.1% chance you will get Conley, if even.

 

"wishful"

 

3 days!

 

NO TRADING RUBIO. WHY

 

its basically 4 on 5 when they are on offense. plays decent defense when he isn't gambling. i just think he is a liability.

 

Decent? He is a top 5 PG defensively.

 

NBA Real Plus-Minus - National Basketball Association - ESPN

I'll even add a source so it doesn't seem like I'm making it up.

 

Prigioni is on this list and really high... I refuse to believe. Theres at least 5 other guys who are laughably bad on defense.

 

If you sort by RPM. TOP 5. SORRY IF STATISTICS DONT CONVINCE YOU.

 

I'm not saying Rubio isn't a good defensive player, just that saying that list is your case when some of those guys let people wiff by them isn't a great case

 

i just think he gambles too much on the defensive end too much trying to get steals, and leaves whoever is in the paint on an island. if you think he is the solution at point guard for this team thats great, but the team has struggled offensively for the longest time and i just don't see him NEEDING to be a part of the future.

 

Hornets reportedly love Malcolm Brogdon. I'm cool with that pick if it happens.

 

It would be very clifford

 

I noticed a lot of that gurshon yubesele guy in mocks to the spurs, I watched some of him and maybe its the body type but he's very Boris diaw... Lol

 

local radio is comparing jaylen brown to draymond green, is this even close to being remotely accurate? i honestly have been idea how good he is.

 

Draymond green is the new dumb comparison. Hopefully the verical live stream doesn't do that, I bet ESPN will use that comp a bunch.

 

Who are the draft guys for the vertical?

 

yeah honestly the only comparison they made that could be relevant was the height/weight

 

Jonathan givony, another draftexpress guy, some guy with a foreign name that starts with "shams", one other expert and woj. They're going to released all the trade info instantly so they'll have it way before ESPN.

 

Yea, its really dumb. I dont expect much offense from jaylen brown till like 2018, I wouldn't love that for minn.

 

I'm not familiar with the vertical. How can you stream it?

 

Seems like it'll be on his website and not yahoo itself

Yahoo could beat ESPN at its own game this week with one of its 'best assets'

 

in obvious news, philly has told simmons they will take him at 1.
