Orange Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thompson apparently declared, but only to get feedback on future draft status. How we gonna have 2 potential NBA draft picks on a team that couldn't manage more than 1 conference win? Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 lol adam morrison was a slow, unathletic wing who couldn't score against athletic guys his own size. markkanen's game was born for the current nba. that comparison doesn't even get off the runway.

glduck Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 exactly! and with a team invested heavily the next 4 years and (several hundred million dollars) with a high scoring, no-defense backcourt, we might as well embrace the fun and add a stretch 4 like markkanen and try to score 120 a game like houston does. we'll never be a top 4 seed (let alone a contender) with the way the front office has constructed the team we're stuck with for the forseaable future, might as well have some fun along the way and make the flawed product as entertaining as possible.

Seems like an emotional argument, where you're just repulsed by hype. LeBron, Durant, et. al had tons of hype, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueDuck Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 No it's not emotional, although I could have stated my argument better. From what I've seen of him, he has a game perfect for college, but vs long athletic post he can't get his shot off. The NBA if full of those guys, and I think he'll have a hard time being anything but a bench player. It's the same way I feel about Dorsey and Brooks although I could see Brooks working on his came and becomeing a solid guard in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 i see nurkic in the post, and markkanen playing away from the basket most of the time. stretch the floor, creating lanes for dame and cj, spacing, that sort of thing. basically what they were hoping aminu could provide from a stretch 4, only markkanen would be able to make his 3's. a 7 footer 18 feet or more from the basket doesn't need to worry about getting his shot off. that said, we keep winning and we've firmly entrenched ourselves outside of the lottery, so getting markkanen would require a trade at this point. if we stick to what we got, i could live with BPA at 15 or 16 (whatever we end up with) and going after a stretch 4 later. both tj leaf and caleb swanigan will be available with our later picks. swanigan must be slow as shit because the kid can shoot and he's got a 7'4 wingspan but he's at the bottom of everyone's 1st round. our organization loves one dimensional white players who can only shoot, so i'm already banking on tyler lydon's name getting called.

Brooks and Bell are bench players, Dorsey isn't even D-League material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 i like moe harkless at the 3 (good/cheap) and we need a 4 in the worst way, but this draft is PF heavy and we can probably find a good one with one of our picks in the 20s. i wouldn't mind taking a good, long look at justin jackson with our mid-teens pick if we do take a BPA approach. it was just one game, but i liked how he could elevate to get his shot off with a defender all over him and his endless array of floaters. that shit is impossible to defend. obligatory: where we'll be picking nobody is likely to ever become a star.
