2015 NBA Draft Thread

And with the 1st overall selection of the 2015 NBA Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves select .... Karl Anthony-Towns
Should be a fun draft, I think a lot of stuff put out there was a smoke screen. It should go pretty much as most mock drafts have it going. What will be fun is the trades, teams like Blazers appear to be blowing it up, if your not elite in the west you might as well, because you wont even sniff the playoffs.
Bull pick should be interesting because it is more of an Off coach then in the past, Id bet on a pg as well, I think they will want to give McDermott a chance at SF so Im not sold they will draft that position. They definitely need to clear up their log jam for the post positions though so maybe they move up in the draft as well.
Even if Rose and Butler are both healthy a better guard off the bench is their key need right now. It was their biggest weakness in playoffs with a healthy Rose, a lot of fans want to put it on Thibs but I think it was at least partially just the roster.
That whole 87 year old limping Oden thing over Kevin Durant sure didn't work out great for them.
I'd personally prefer Delon Wright or an athletic wing, maybe Rondae Hollis-Jefferson or Justin Anderson.
I'm with you here. I think Fred takes more of a tweener player. But maybe thats my "I hope Tyus Jones is a flop" mentality
There you go. That's what I'm hoping for. Could be an instant upgrade in some ways on the bench and ready to contribute immediately.
Predicting Okafor to go first. He is good, but is no where near his ceiling. I would like to build a program around him . . . but not any of the Kentucky guys or Duke's Winslow. Also predicting the Russell's blatant attempt of self-promotion ("I'm the best player") will backfire and he will drop to double digits.
The Russel part for sure.. We are talking about the Twolves so like 99% the first part doesn't happen.
