2016 NBA Draft Thread

[SHAQATTACK]

I would really like to see Danny package a couple of those 2nds to move back up to grab Davis or Skal at this point.

Stop it !!!   That makes toooooo much sense .....


Danny wants to have the. Biggest NBA team in the league .....in terms of number of players ...LOL

Got our draft and stash. Again.

Nope. Zizic is coming over this year.

Hope you're right. He looks pretty good.

o wow never knew that

[BitterJim]

Ooooh I like Johnson.  Doc's made a couple of very good picks (and one very bad trade) today

[LooseCannon]

Ainge's plan may be to pursue building a team through free agency this and next summer then building an instant bench with Eurostashes with upside.

I'm excited to have a guy who can rebound who isn't the shape of a basketball.

The only downside to that is the fourth guaranteed contract. And the way this draft is going, who knows if those guys will even go before then?

#16 is staying in France.

Ughhh Zizic...

You guys are never satisfied are you

Firstly, we should've only took two guys in the first round and traded the other.

I wanted Davis or Skal over Zizic, but I understand the Zizic pick. My frustration is more about Danny not pulling the trigger on a trade earlier.

what's the confirmed trade offer in particular that is frustrating you? 

I was expecting Danny to make a deal but overpaying to get what you want is not a trade worth making.  Still disappointed but will need to see some concrete offer that was fair yet rejected by danny before getting irate

Isn't Yab a draft and stash? That would mean only 3 guaranteed

Adam Himmelsbach: Guerchon Yabusele said possibility of being a draft and stash “is not a problem for me.” Said he did not expect to go 16. 15 mins ago – via Twitter AdamHimmelsbach

Boston was going to pick Hernangomez at 16, which forced Denver to take him at 15 instead of waiting until 15 like they originally planned.

In Zizic Own Words:

“I am a type of modern center. I run the floor very well. I can finish with strong dunks. In defense I can close down the paint. I have the ability to block shots, collect rebounds. Effort is something you must have. It's like other basketball skills. It is something natural. I was born with it.”

“I am 19-years old, so I am still a young player. I can work on everything and can improve every part of my game. For some things I need time, and for some things I need a lot of practice. I practice very hard and I try to watch older and more experienced players. I think I am going on the right way.”

“My dream is playing in the NBA. I still have a contract with Cibona, and I will see. I don't know yet (if he will enter the draft). I think I am ready for the NBA, but I must work a lot. I need more experience to play on a higher level, like the NBA.”

He has the best PER out of Euro Players and the youngest of them all...better PER than Saric, Hernangomez and Luwawu- It sounds like he wont be coming over for a few years though..we will see...

That, combined with the report that Zizic is coming over right away, sounds great to me.

[knuckleballer]

Is Skal regretting not staying in college yet?

I assume the second 15 is meant to be 19.
