2014 NBA Draft

[ACDC_Rocks024]

Chances we buy in to take a big man? There's gotta be some cheap owners out there! The sixers most definitely do NOT need five picks in the second round!!

He's a guard, correct?

We have Delly as our backup PG. Sergey as our back SG. Both can shoot well. He's redundant. Would've preferred we go for BPA (Early or Robinson II) or addressed our need at Center with a project big.

If we wanted more shooting we should've just made resigning CJ a priority. Wouldn't have been hard at all to keep him in Cleveland.

Delly can make some open jumpers. He is not a jump shooter.

CJ, if you'll recall, was hurt a good portion of last season and while he was hurt we seriously lacked outside shooting.

Karasev is still Karasev. You draft this guy and see if he can push him for his spot.

The moment the fucking thread goes up I'm dropping an F grade on this one. :chuckles:

Haha...I don't mind it, I was speaking more from a value perspective.

Even with Wiggins, we needed another 3. Having Early and GRIII drop seemed like a gift.

It may bode well for Harris though. We must love him to stick with our board there.

Did a Monstar just get drafted?

Before the Cameron Barstow pick did anyone catch bill Simmons say " wow that guy can fucking play basketball". Lol could swear he forgot where he was and dropped and F bomb

I think the Dwight Powell thing was a typo by Chad Ford on his Twitter.

Get back in and grab Patric Young.

My major question is, who is going to play Center and Small Forward for this team? I mean, I know that Wiggins could, but he'd be better off at the 2. Without Hawes coming back we have no natural Centers, however.

I disagree but ok.

Picking him when we already have Sergey is weird to me. I don't see many many minutes at all for Harris, now or in the future. Swinging for the fences with a project big would've been a better/more sensible move imo.

Lot of time between now and the start of the season... and Wiggins will probably start at the 3 unless Dion is moved.. we could definitely use a C.. but Andy can start there if need be... Zeller isn't terrible

Still a chance for the Spurs to take Early and turn him into a superstar.

People forget that we just switched coaches. We have a new system and Blatt wants to get guys who fill roles in that system. The cheapest way to do that without using much cap is taking a second round guy with a niche. Sometimes you don't swing for the fence when you know you're getting a needed role player who will fill a void immediately. I like the pick. Wiggins was our swing for the fence move of this draft.

Turns out Dwight Powell IS coming here after all. Stark get that thread back up!!
