2016 CB Draft: Discussion thread

[snively]

Pretty much final Hoiberg Bulls:

PG Rubio / Sessions / Watson
SG Danny Green / Shumpert / H. Thompson
SF Durant / Gerald Green / (Zipser)
PF Markieff Morris / T. Booker / (Zipser)
C Capela / Frye / Mejri

Kicking myself for going Thompson over Bjelica (I blame the newborn for keeping me up at night), but otherwise pretty pleased with the overall roster.

Houston Rockets

Coach Mike D'Antoni

Starters

 C: Anthony Davis
PF: Nikola Mirotic
SF: DeMarre Carroll
SG: Gary Harris
PG: Goran Dragic

Bench Rotation - Sergio Rodriguez, Terry Rozier, Kyle Anderson, Festus Ezeli

Deep Bench - Ben McLemore, Reggie Bullock, Kyle Singler, Anthony Tolliver, Brandon Wright

Great squad. I love Davis as a center in D'Antoni's offense, and plenty of shooting around him as well. Dragic is very underrated, and you have solid 3 and D wings in Harris and Carroll. My only concern is Rodriguez as your primary backup guard since he's a bit of an unknown in NBA play, but other than that is a very solid contender.

I like the team except for the C depth.  Really needed a vet defender off the bench.

I guess I like Mejri more than most - did a really nice job filling in for Zaza down the stretch for the Mavs and played a significant part in their last-ditch April run that got them into the playoffs.

Irving/Drummond a strong foundation, and excellent support pieces in Lee, Morris, Hield and Sully. Really like Livio and Chriss as development projects.

SF and back-up PG are the areas I'd go after you for - Muhammad a net negative despite his prolific scoring and nobody reliable to sub in for him (VC and Prince too old). Just don't like Norris Cole as a primary back-up. Ulis I really like as 3rd string though.

Anyone have a solid backup 3 that they will consider trading?  If so send me an offer

Cole is fine for regular season and there will not be a need for a lot of key minutes in the playoff. 

As for SF, the mix of Carter and Morris sliding over from PF with Sully playing more PF minutes will keep the position covered.

Personally, I think Towns at the 4 is a huge waste.

PG: Bledsoe/Lin/ Harris
SG: Beal/ Henderson/Robinson III
SF: Winslow/McDermott/Ingram/Acy
PF: Turner/ McRoberts/Acy/Hernangomez
C: Adams/ Turner/ Felicio/ McRoberts

Deep, flexible, young, and well coached with Kerr at the helm. Where you you think these guys would land?

I like the team except for the C depth.  Really needed a vet defender off the bench.

I think you'd see this team close out games with a Rubio - D Green - Shumpert - Durant - Morris lineup.  Put their best offensive lineup on the court.

Houston Rockets

Coach Mike D'Antoni

Starters

 C: Anthony Davis
PF: Nikola Mirotic
SF: DeMarre Carroll
SG: Gary Harris
PG: Goran Dragic

Bench Rotation - Sergio Rodriguez, Terry Rozier, Kyle Anderson, Festus Ezeli

Deep Bench - Ben McLemore, Reggie Bullock, Kyle Singler, Anthony Tolliver, Brandon Wright

This roster probably fits it's CBD coach better than any other team.  D'Antoni was made to coach an uptempo team like this with a fast and crafty PG and an elite offensive big man.  Davis gives a bit of defensive credibility here too (along with a few others).

I expect this team will still be closer to the bottom defensively, but will be overwhelming on offense.  Be interesting to see if this team can achieve more than those old Suns teams.

He plays with Gorgui Dieng most of the time and it turned out fine.
