2016 CB Draft: Discussion thread

[Kane3387]

Cleveland Cavaliers

 C: Greg Monroe
PF: Serge Ibaka
SF: Joe Johnson
SG: Brandon Knight
PG: Andre Igoudala

Bench:

Kyle Korver
Thabo Sefolosha
Al Jefferson
Taj Gibson
Brandon Jennings
Michael Carter Williams

Very solid, deep team. Good combo of shooters/scorers (Korver, Jennings, Knight, Johnson), Low post bigs (Monroe, Big Al), and defense (Ibaka, Sefolosha, Iggy, Gibson). I worry about the lack of star power, who is your go to guy in crunch time?

There really isn't a specific one. Don't mind putting the ball in Joe johnsons hand but matchups and what guy is rolling or exploiting his matchup the best would be the first option.

Is it just me or does the the quality of the backup PGs kinda stink from here on out?

I had no idea how much weaker the PG position his now vs a few years ago.

The last few drafts have been PG wastelands - making it tough to find quality back-ups to replace the guys who are aging out. Keeping a lot of mediocre journeymen in the pool.

Thoughts on the Magic after 7 rounds?

C: Nikola Jokic / Ian Mahinmi
F: Mirza Teletovic
F: Paul George / Tyreke Evans
G: Kent Bazemore
G: Patrick Beverley / Patty Mills

No thoughts on Orlando?

I think you need Evans playmaking ability in the starting lineup.

I wanted to wait til this afternoon before I put my team out there to be critiqued:

Toronto Raptors

Guards: Steph Curry, Marcus Smart, Ray Allen
Wings: Paul Pierce, Jaylen Brown
Bigs: B. Lopez, Bobby Portis, Ersan Illyasova, KG

I could use another useful wing, backup center, and backup pg. Picks 8.2 and 10.2 are available.

Any thoughts on this team so far?

With Curry, you really need a starting quality SF.   Right now, your options are to far out of the prime.

I think you are set up to make a trade to condense the talent.

The Utah Jazz is starting to become a team.

C: Jonas Valanciunas
F: Karl-Anthony Towns
F: Wilson Chandler / Quincy Pondexter
G: Khris Middleton
G: Derrick Rose / Shaun Livingston

Have at it, ladies and gents.

I like Towns.  I would look for a good smaller PF as the third big man to finish the rotation.

That's the plan, the idea is to start Jonas and KAT with a 3rd big (a PF who can play small ball hopefully) and just stagger the positions.

Unfortunately, the target was Jonas Jerebko and he has been picked, so I need to shuffle the remaining names and see if there's someone who can slot in as the 3rd big. There are about 3 more names I see there, hopefully any of them land at 8.12.

Sorry, but I plan on taking all 3 with my next pick.

I'll give one.

Good to great team. There's enough balance of offense and defense to make a deep run with this team.

Love Courtney Lee here (my pick that you stole), he relieves Kyrie of the tough defensive assignment in case he gets matched up vs quicker PG's.

I dig Shabazz Muhammad here. He plays on the block mostly as a PF in a SF spot. Likes to post and attack the offensive boards. There's enough spacing to accommodate his inside heavy game and Drummond's.

I'm really regretting the series of deals I made to move out of the 6th and 7th. It looks like talent is going to drop off a cliff sooner rather than later.

[Gainesville Celtic]

PG - Kemba Walker / Cory Joseph
SG - Josh Richardson / E'Twaun Moore
SF - Otto Porter / Matt Barnes
PF - Derrick Favors / Zach Randolph
C - Marcin Gortat / (Favors)

I've come to really like how this team has come together. Agree/disagree?

A lot of length. Would probably be a great defensive squad. I do worry about them being able to score enough oustide of Kemba.

Yeah, I'd actually consider starting Evans at PG.
