2016 NBA Draft

God to Danny Ainge: "I pray that you will not pick Jared Uthoff with one of your eight draft choices."

Odds for Uthoff and odds for Niang to get drafted tonight?

I'd love to see the Bulls take Hield. He's a sniper, and I think he would fit well in Fred's system. I love Georges, but I don't think he'll get drafted.

Only way this happens is if Chicago trades Butler to Minny for LaVine/Dieng/5th pick or something like that. Hield isn't falling into the teens.

Odds for Uthoff and odds for Niang to get drafted tonight?

Odds for Uthoff according to mock drafts is he's a mid to late 2nd round pick.

Niang is likely to be undrafted

I'm far from an expert, but this seems like a horrible draft. I think Simmons is far from the sure-shot that people once thought he was, and Ingram's frame scares me a bit. From there, there is just so much risk with every pick. Do you know what your getting with Brown or Hield? Can Dunn do what he did in college against better athletes? Do you reach on a prospect like Chriss?

76ers promised Simmons the first pick so I'm guessing he is a sure shot. Do I agree with it? No I personally think he sucks outside of 4 feet from the hoop. He has one of the worst strokes and release in the draft.

Uthoff will likely go between 35 and 45, but Golden State at the end of the 1st would be a great fit if the Warriors don't want to give Barnes a big contract. Otherwise I've seen Uthoff to the Magic in the 2nd in numerous mocks. Niang has very little chance of being drafted, but he has the skills to play a long time in Europe and have a good career.

Which just illustrates the problem with NBA talent evaluation. Uthoff proved in the long run to not be a real playmaker.

One of the reasons I just can't follow the NBA.

Uthoff doesn't need to be a playmaker though. He'll be asked to come in for 5-10 minutes to get a guy a breather.

Eh. I'd rather have a guy who can create than a 5-10 minute breather guy.

I know Niang has physical limitations, and will likely never be a good defender, but **** me he can play. He showed it playing with the other rookies a few months ago.

Does this thing actually start at 6:00 or is this just when ESPN starts blabbering about it? (not that they haven't already been blabbering about it)

Neither Niang or Uthoff is on draft express right now, which most regard is the best mock draft site

If only the league was all rookies, he'd be set then.

Who is most? Their mock has several eyebrow raisers compared to ESPN, CBS, etc.

It's just what people like Blum and Hines have said in the past, and they're pretty knowledgeable when it comes to the NBA

 

[Rabbuk]

Draft actually starts at 7.

Bulls and Celtics talking about a trade for Butler

Isnt that your wife's job?

 

[cmjh10]

Bold prediction, Simmons will be a bust

 

[Cyclonepride]

Boston's been working hard to include the third overall pick as part of a package in exchange for an established veteran. No takers yet, but we'll see. Rumors are just that, but for what it's worth the Celtics have mentioned in connection with Kevin Love, Khris Middleton, Jimmy Butler, Gordon Hayward, Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel.

Did you know Nerlens Noel played with Georges?

The best is KWWL in Waterloo. They just did their sports segment which they stated Uthoff could go in the first round.
