Heck, if you ask me, apart from Winslow and Towns - there is not other player I rather draft.....from players I have seen play.

So no, I wouldn't pass on Kamisky.   And the good thing is that at 16, he might be the best player available anyways.

Please, Please Danny pass on M.Turner.  Has "Bust" written all over his forehead.

At 16, I also like Jerian Grant as a wing.  Kamisky would be my first choice thou.

...I just can't believe he could drop that far down.

He has the tools for Brad Stevens offense.   I can't say I would be elated though.

I would, not a negative reflection on Frank but he has an eerily similar skillset to Olynyk.

True.  But I think they can play together.  Frank plays bigger than KO.  I know that's not saying much thou.... ;D

I just can't get passed the fact that he outplayed the two top bigs in the tournament.  And it wasn't even close.  IMO, He was clearly the best big on both games.  I think that's a better Resume than KO's  or Sully's for that matter when we drafted them.

I take it that Kaminsky is very far down on your Big Board.

...I was thinking 16 was pretty low already for a guy like him.

My opinion is that the C's have a lot of depth so they need to swing for the fences with high upside players. I would prefer Looney or Lyles to him, but if those two guys aren't there I would be fine with Kaminsky.

I was a huge proponent of Olynyk before the draft, but now I get increasingly more frustrated with his play which (whether it is fair or not) knocks down Kaminsky in my mind.

Personally I like Kaminsky better than KO. Kaminsky is the far superior rebounder, looks like he can add some muscle on his frame and he's also a much better face up player.

Kaminsky reminds me a bit of Bill Lambeer.

With far better ballhandling and shot creating skills.  If Kaminsky is available at 16 there is a good chance that he will be the best player available so I'd take him.  But then I would look to deal Sullinger or Olynyk because somebody has to be able guard someone and protect the rim.

Wasn't Lambeer a defensive and rebounding force?

Kaminsky is more of an offensive player than a defensive and rebounding one.

I'd have to think he would be BPA at #16, so yes, I'd take him.

Right, I need to see who else is sitting there.  Example, I would pass if Dekker is available.

Kaminsky would be great value at #16. While he has similar strengths and weaknesses as Olynyk, he's better across the board. Better shooter, much better length, better quicks/footwork, better body. He showed he could hold his own vs. Okafor in the post; KO would've been dominated.

I agree that he shouldn't go pass the lottery
But I wouldn't draft him cuz he reminds me of a better version of olynyk
I see him being a Regular rotation big man the same as olynyk
Both can come bring energy, post points, outside shooting, some rebounds off the bench

I don't think he would translate as a starter in the nba cuz of the athleticism needed to regularly play at C
