With Okafor, Towns, Turner and WCS likely going in the top 10, which one of (Lyles, Portis, Kaminsky) would you draft with our 2015 1st? (10-15 range)
Trey Lyles - 6'10 , 250 pounds, 7'3.5 wingspan
Comparison: Brad Miller
Bobby Portis - 6'11, 245 pounds, 7'1.5 wingspan
Comparison: Chris Bosh version of today. Quick, agile but not really above the rim. Nice J
Frank Kaminsky - 7'0, 245 pounds, 7'1-7'2 wingspan
Comparison: Mehmet Okur
Not interested in any of them with the Cs 1st pick. Needs to be BPA and there will be better options then those guys.
This. C's are nowhere good enough to focus on picking for position instead of picking BPA. I've always believed in taking BPA and only going for need when there's players of equal talent where one happens to play a position of need.
there's isn't a position I consider us to be set at right now. PF is the most filled with Sully and KO going forward but if the best player available is a PF (I hope that's not the case) then take that player and look to move one of Sully or KO to fill a hole in the roster. would keep Sully over KO right now is one had to be moved.
I still think Lyles is going to be a real option for the Celts at 16. Don't even think he will be available by then. Kaminsky I doubt will be also.
Portis might be. Who else are better prospects??
We are definitely going to need to draft a PF/C to replace Bass and potentially sully if he gets traded.
Portis and Lyles imo would fit CBS system. Have nba bodies, versatile defenders that are able to make the outside shot.
I'm also curious/intersted in Jarell Martin. At 16 he might be a bit of a reach but has alot of nice tools for a PF. Martin played well vs Portis and also the Kentucky boys. Portis on the other end struggled.
