2015 NBA DRAFT

nuggets do not really have a need at the 3

lol you're like a crazy twitter person

from lowe's lottery rundown:

The Suns had Alex Len behind the lectern, and he told me before the lottery that they had promised to fly him back on a private jet if Phoenix jumped into the top three. No word on whether Len found his way to the Port Authority bus station after the game.

rough go for len

loool

Guess what happens in case of a power outage that disables the machine? The league brings along a plastic basketball with a hole cut into the top, and in a doomsday scenario in which the machine doesn’t work, they would just pour the Ping-Pong balls into that container and have an official pluck them out by hand.

Lol hey uh grab that trash can over there now draw the NBA logo on it with that sharpie ok dump all the balls in and get somebody big to shake it up, ok we are good lottery is back on fellas

they shd do it like that every year except live on stage

towns straight blowin minds http://www.kentucky.com/2015/06/03/3882548_ex-cat-towns-puts-full-range-of.html

cauly-stein staying 3 years at kentucky is a major red flag imo

wait, why is this?

Too much time subsisting solely on Taco Bell.

kentucky is a one and done factory if u cant get out of there in one theres something wrong w u

i think i would feel good about taking cauley-stein... it was hysterically embarrassing that notre dame guarded him with 6' 5" shooting guards in the elite 8 and he couldn't score any points, but i don't see how he's not the next deandre/drummond type player

idk i dont ever seem him being that good of a basketball man, i cld see him being useful especially on D but i cld also see him being a quasi bust

i dunno he's huge and athletic and i think the nba understands how to use those kinda guys now -- basically just have them roll to the rim every play and throw 5 or so alley oops a game.

maybe 5 or 10 years ago a team picks him and tries to force post play on him but i feel like in the post-tyson chandler NBA he has a clear role that will allow him to succeed

thats def the ideal role for him, whether he can grow into it idk, i get strong doesnt understand basketball vibes from him,

i mean obvs there have been other guys like him who didnt have a great feel for the game and succeeded anyway through determination and superior physical gifts but a lot of them just turn out to be sorta meh

i guess he shot really well and from distance in his recent private workout, i don't know if that's supposed to make me feel better or worse

cauley-stein? or are you thinking of towns

may they and the heat and lakers make bad decisions forever and ever amen, always and in perpetuity, to the hoops gods we pray

porzingis trending

in which woj relates the struggle of porzingis to overcome the (justified) stigma attached to (countless examples of) euroballers in the draft (being overrated and resulting as busts) http://sports.yahoo.com/news/meet-the-euro-prodigy-who-seems-unlike-the-flops-who-came-before-him-193427860.html

Feel like dudes like that who just watch game tape and want to work out at 3 am are never busts, if he were American coach k or calipari would be blathering about his work ethic 24/7

Dude should get some sleep.

he does seem legit but i was more thinking, porzingis bro there are reasons why people have these fears (although at the same time i dont understand him worrying about the "soft" perception, its more that the milicics of years past were space cases and the bargnanis were incompetent, etc)

like, i'd be surprised if anyone thought milicic was soft, for example, and be curious how long they remained healthy if saying that to his face lol

zingis played a srs role with good results in the 2nd best league in the world, hes totally not a euro man of mystery, if anything his results from last year are more bankable than one and done college dudes and like a million times more than mudiays partial season in china

someone done a harden mixtape on przingis

just readin some draft coverage and

C Willie Cauley-Stein, Kentucky

Cauley-Stein isn't a human and should become an elite rim protector.

i feel like if they were ever able to make a robot NBA player it would be an elite rim protector that has trouble developing any semblance of a post move

true i'm not counting it out

hezonja we don't believe you u need more people https://twitter.com/maxrappaport/status/612701818431348736

he is prob better than messi tho

well he didn't specify what he was better than messi at so he can't be wrong about that at least, true

assumed he was talking abt basketball

seeing as how messi doesn't play that professionally if at all I don't think that makes much sense to say, bc maybe messi is really awful and like idk luke babbitt is also better than him but forget it jake it's eurotown I suppose

top four picks seemed locked in at towns okafor russell porzingis in some order

I'm still not convinced this Porzingis is anything but some kind of Polish sausage.

played a very good season in the 2nd best league in the world, is tall athletic and skilled

Porzingis seems overly deliberate to me, and I don't really believe the jumper

but obviously you have to take him top 10, there's a lot of tools there and if he puts on muscle he might go from seeing deliberate to seeming quick.

he does seem legit but i was more thinking, porzingis bro there are reasons why people have these fears (although at the same time i dont understand him worrying about the "soft" perception, its more that the milicics of years past were space cases and the bargnanis were incompetent, etc)

Bargnani's bustitude is 100% a lack of dedication and work ethic. Porzingis isn't really even close to Bargnani from a talent level.

I don't think anyone really knows what happened with Milicic. Wouldn't surprise me if it was drugs all along. He was a 17 year old starting and producing in Europe who had all the physical tools you could ask for and then he showed up in Detroit and had trouble converting wide open dunks.

lol ainge tried to trade smart and the 16th and 28th picks for noel and the 3rd pick

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CIM8mpDWUAAdCps.jpg

does he ever sleep? i just picture notebooks, whiteboards and crumpled papers filled with trade scenarios scattered throughout his house.

he only concocts trades, goes to the office to make the occasional formal calls and goes to mormon church
