2019 NBA Draft Lottery

I didn't see why people liked Hachimura a month ago. I still don't get it.

Guy gets fleeced and you miss him? He got a player who was drafted cause his dad had a big mouth, Brandon Ingram who might not play again with his health issues, Josh Hart, 3 Picks. The most valuable of which hes trying to trade for a vet. I am confused as to why you miss him.

I didn't make this statement based on this trade alone, but for the trade yeah I think it could've been better, but given the circumstances I feel it was still a pretty decent haul. High first , 2 more picks , I actually like Hart, and Ingram eh, but is what it is. I liked Griff based on when he was with us.

Just trade with the Hawks and go for the sure thing in Bitadze and someone else. We need to stockpile on assets, and the drop off is negliable. Neither Culver or Hunter are special, even if one of them turns out to be great. This draft is fairly deep, so we need to take advantage of it. What's...

Here is my post 604 above with link - I have seen his game since he was in high school. I believe with this coaching staff Rui can excel to a new level.

Most reports are saying Cavaliers love Cameron Reddish.

I'm really starting to get nervous over this Reddish talk,,,like we actually might take him at 5? Why?

I'm fine with either really. I Just hope we can add another pick for Bol, hachimura or goga

Skills. He can actually shoot. I am not crazy on Reddish. But hes the upside pick. They hired Beilein a developer of talent. Gottleib is a developer of talent. They may take someone who is considered more raw but that can be molded into what they want.

A guy surrounded by two great players (who should have taken the pressure and defense off him) shot 35 % overall and 33 % from 3?
He can't shoot based on his college career...and he doesn't seem like the most motivated guy out there either. He's got all the measurables,,for what thats worth.

Now with the AD trade to the Lakers, the question for the Cavs is who does Griff targets at #4.

I figure it's Culver or Garland for the Pelicans. I think Hunter at #4 becomes the best case scenario for the Cavs. Then the Cavs can hopefully pit the Suns, Bulls, and Hawks against each other for Garland or Culver. A parley for trade down with both could be in play for the Cavs. Trade down to #6 with the Suns so they secure Garland and trade #6 to the Bulls or Hawks for Culver.

With Ingram at SF & presumably Williamson at PF, the Pelicans need another guard to play beside Holiday, so I’m guessing they take either Culver or Garland. I figure Lonzo Ball is likely to be be moved to another team, possibly in conjunction with the #4 pick.

Everything I've read, and it surprised me too given the scuttlebutt, is that Griffin really like Ball and doesn't want to move him.

Seems like the only thing NOP got from LA that they're actually shopping around is the 4th pick in exchange for another win now player.

He was surrounded by two ball dominant players and was relegated to a catch and shoot player which isn't his game. Much like how Bosh or KLove were relegated to different roles playing with DWade/Lebron and Kyrie/LeBron. Reddish is a play maker but never got that opportunity at Duke.

 

[daddywags]

From what's been written it seems NO likes Lonzo but Lonzo doesn't want to play for NO. Are they going to go that route again so soon?

In one post you said "[Reddish] can really shoot", then in another you make excuses for him not being a "catch and shoot" player. At Duke, Reddish was not much of a "shot go in" player, period. His mid 30s FG% was embarrassing by ANY measure. Every draft some fans have a bad player they fall in love with. This year it's Cam Reddish.

He shot 33 percent from three on 7 threes per game showing NBA Level range. Considering he was a 18 year old kid learning how to play off the ball thats not terrible. Shot 77 percent from the Free Throw line. He underperformed in college. I am not arguing that. He showed range in college. More range then Barrett, more consistent then Culver. When people see his mid 30s FG percentage not realizing that over 60 percent of his shot attempts were from three.

Also showed some upside in getting steals and blocks. 1.6 SPG for Reddish vs .9 for Barrett in 6 less minutes per game. Also got .6 blocks vs .4 for Barrett. Shot higher from three then Barrett on more attempts. Shot much better from the line. It really is not Reddish's fault that he was thrust into the role of 4th ball handler behind Zion, Barrett, Tre Jones. He does his best work with the ball in his hands. He couldn't show case that at Duke. He is not a bad player fans fell in love with. Hes a talented player who was in a situation where he couldn't show case his skills.
