as high as a team wants
"best player" is mattarm-speak for that hezonja doofus i'm guessing?
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 20:13 (eight years ago) link
to me the big question of this draft is: how high can you draft a guy who changed his middle name to Trill?

highly unlikely he slips to 10
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 20:54 (eight years ago) link
I think Hezonja probably has the most upside of anyone in the draft but he seems crazy
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 20:58 (eight years ago) link
uh, yea, his draft express profile has inconsistent and headcase written all over it
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 21:04 (eight years ago) link
there's really no one in the draft that I don't have a lot of problems with other than Towns. Okafor looks like Eddy Curry half the time.

lol @ the current DX rankings having kaminsky slotted next to the jazz, as if they didnt already have the premium on milquetoast wite ballers w/hayward
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 21:11 (eight years ago) link
I think DX doesn't adjust to team needs until after lotto
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 21:13 (eight years ago) link
lol i know, it will prob change soon
suppose him being giant and (relatively) snail-paced would also fit their mold tho in addition to being boring

which elite prospect u guys think is gonna busto
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 21:18 (eight years ago) link
whoever philadelphia picks at the highest position
serious answer: i can see mudiay's ankle probs being persistent and okafor seems really one-dimensional, don't know enough beyond that to make a truly informed pick though

i've said this before but i just don't like something about cauly-stein, and i'm with matt on okafor having a good shot at not being an impact player.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 23:06 (eight years ago) link
okafor will probably be a good scorer
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 23:21 (eight years ago) link
the biggest boom/bust guy is probably kelly oubre
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 23:22 (eight years ago) link
cauly-stein staying 3 years at kentucky is a major red flag imo
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 19 May 2015 23:38 (eight years ago) link
what do u think about new coachgood duderuss is the best
― moullet, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:19 (eight years ago) link
what if the draft lottery and the draft were in the same day imagine how good that wld be
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:22 (eight years ago) link
like they announce the #1 picking team then they have 3 mins to pick then they announce the #2 selecting team
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:23 (eight years ago) link
that would be really exciting!
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:31 (eight years ago) link
every year this event reminds me how espn's coverage of pretty much everything couldn't be done much worse
― Clay, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:32 (eight years ago) link
its such bullshit that they dont pick from a shit ton of team branded balls
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:32 (eight years ago) link
also they shd do it live on stage whats their problem
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:33 (eight years ago) link
this thing could be so fun and dramatic! and it could be done so easily!
― Clay, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:33 (eight years ago) link
instead it is this interminable grind of being constantly reminded how all the people involved in this event are losers
― Clay, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:34 (eight years ago) link
except for the draftees, who will be losers this fall
― Clay, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:35 (eight years ago) link
haahha. russ

Larry Legend seems remarkably amped up and positive.... and they already know the results so...
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:41 (eight years ago) link
this is so odd
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:42 (eight years ago) link
IIRC the teams just send a team rep to the actual lottery but come on that shit has to get out sometimes right
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:43 (eight years ago) link
hasn't anyone at espn ever seen a reality show before? because it is the opposite of this.
― Clay, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:44 (eight years ago) link
like they even had the host admit they have the results, they're just keeping them from us so they can squeeze out some more ads, i just feel like a damn rube watching this thing, u don't want your audience to feel like they're being bamboozled c'mon
― Clay, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:45 (eight years ago) link
btw Jay Bilas had almost exactly the same scouting report for Mario Hezonja as he did for Jan Vesely "he can really shoot it/the ball." It's somewhat true for Hezonja.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:45 (eight years ago) link
omg dude ur obsessed chill
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:46 (eight years ago) link

feel like towns is a safe and easy decision for the wolves
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 00:54 (eight years ago) link
yeah towns fits there

that celtics stuff is unfathomable to me, if any team 6-9 really turned this down....

yeah that story honestly does not scan to me
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 27 June 2015 08:01 (eight years ago) link
sportscenter just showed this segment on isaiah austin and it's getting pretty dusty in here, my typical cynicism be damned that was a great moment in last year's draft
