2017 Draft - 2nd Round Prospects

[The One]

Just found this thread, so I'll bump it up. Really hoping that Swanigan falls.

Mike

Me too.  I have concerns about his foot speed, but otherwise, really like what he could be as a big man in our system.  To me, the dedication he's already shown to weight loss and improving his game as a collegiate player bodes well for his work ethic as a professional.

You guys are singing my song...hoping that Swanigan ends up in green somehow.

I agree, he's not perfect...but I'll roll with him in the second round.

I tell you something though...he definitely would not let Gortat keep tapping those offensive rebounds out...take that for data!!

[green_bballers13]

I would trade up to get Jordan Bell or Harry Giles at the end of the 1st.

Thomas Bryant
Jonothan Jeanne
Hamidou Diallo(high risk but maybe take it with 1 of the second rounders if he;s still around)

I'm all about Bryant or Jeanne at the top of the 2nd round.  Huge wingspan and can shoot the 3.

With the 56th pick the Celtics take- Michael Fusek!

http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/forums/OtherGround/Thoughts-on-75-NBA-prospect-for-next-year:2585035

From Fansided:

Michael Fusek

Strengths He is 7-foot-5 and a center from Slovakia.  He is surprisingly agile for a big man, adding a 30 inch leap to an already towering vantage point.  Defensively, he is nearly NBA-ready.  He excels at shot-blocking and is a solid rebounder.

Weaknesses He is awfully tall, but only 220 pounds.  As such, he will be pushed around like a tumbleweed in the NBA.  He also is extremely raw on offense.  In two seasons in Eurocup play, he averaged two and four points per game respectfully.

If you want to catch the young man’s highlight video, you find find it here at this link.

Once more, he is a true sky scraper.  If the 76ers deal a center, you can believe the team will consider someone of Michael Fusek’s stature.

Fusek might not be a terrible last pick now that I think about it. Stash is a stash

For the 37th pick, I would go with whichever big man falls in the draft.

For the later picks I love Jonah Bolden, Sterling Brown SMU, and Tyler Dorsey Ofregob.

Jonah Bolden seems like the ideal big the Celtics would go after with his defense and shooting abilities.

Sterling Brown is a wing who has every skill but isn't elite at anything. Would love to get and develop him because wings are so valuable.

I just like Tyler Dorsey because he can shoot and I'm tired of watching all these missed open looks.

Someone resurrected my old thread instead of starting a new one, how thoughtful 

It's crazy how much my opinion has changed on all of this. Im deffinitely team Swanigan. I think he could be special. I also like both guards from South Carolina in Thornwell and Dozier. I also like Nigel-Goss now too. I agree with the poster that said he'd be a good replacement for Jackson. Him and Thornwell/Dozier would be perfect for the 2 way contracts. Swanigan could easily earn a spot because he brings an nba ready skill in rebounding.

If we had to trade up for Swanigan I hope we hold in to one of the 50s picks for Nigel-Goss. That would be a really good haul to walk away from the draft with Fultz, Swanigan, and Nigel-Goss.

Bradley, Bryant

Jeanne is a wildcard...too skinny but so was Gobert

Sad news on Jeanne....may never play again...Marfan's Syndrome....same disease as that shooting star,  Baylor kid, Isaiah Austin.

Oh man. This is terrible. Really feel for the kid. Two weeks from the draft. And a lot of teams were really high on Jeanne too. twitter.com/ShamsCharania/…

Sucks....sad for him.

NBADRAFT.net has us taking Swanigan at 37, Fusek ( would love to see this guy...) at 53 and Monte Morris at 56.
