Russilo's Draft Notes

[Csfan1984]

Kaminsky to Heat would be interesting. Gives an interesting rotation of Bosh, Whiteside and Kaminsky. SJ would be better though as Deng is kind of old. Booker is a dark horse there as a better backup to Wade is needed.

The Heat usually draft older players, so even if Booker were there, I'd doubt they go that route.

I agree which is why he is a darkhorse. Wonder if Riley would take Turner, Sully and KO for 10. Those guys are better than Kaminsky and Turner is a throw in to help bench as well.

Dragic, Wade, Deng, Bosh, Whiteside
Cole, Turner, Ennis, Sully, KO, Anderson


Nah just wishful thinking they don't want are guys... :-(

I added this above…

I think a good trade for both is for us to trade Suillinger and #16 (Heat take Grant or Dekker) for #10 (we take Johnson or Turner).

Two guys im least excited about.  Seems like you like players that have avg hops or something.

Seems like you have a lot to learn about basketball and think we should fill our roster with 2nd rd talent because they jump high.

naw.  I know what this lineup needs to balance itself out.   Not keep adding not so over the rim type players.

you don't get that everyone else on the team has to work extra hard on the defensive end to prevent their man from having open season under the rim.   Maybe if they don't have to work extra hard, our offense would perform better

 Defense wins championships

So you don't want Stanley Johnson or Myles Turner because they're weak defenders? Are we talking about the same players? Hence as to  why I put their full names.

you will get good effort from Johnson.  But lets not kid ourselves if you think he can handle top sfs like Leonard, Lebron, Durant etc.   Johnson lacks the size, explosiveness, good but not great length to slow these guys down.   Plus is only considered an average shooter.  Had issues finishing around the basket in college, so how do you think he is going to deal with this issue in the nba?

Turner with the length that he has is poor at finishing around the basket .  He has some kind of foot , hip issue will prevent him from being a good perimeter , PNR defender

Johnson has NBA size.  Better than Winslow.  Better than Crowder.  He's not an elite athlete but he is a very good one.  Johnson shooting percentages were 47.8/37.1/74.2. So I'd say he is at least an above average shooter especially when you consider his poor percentage at the rim.  As for that, I expect Johnson will finish better at the rim in the NBA.  Arizona's spacing was lousy because of their poor shooters.  Johnson may not be elite at anything but he is very good at a lot of things.  To top it off he just turned 19.  He's got a lot of potential but is also one of the safer picks in the draft.  I'd love for Ainge to trade up to get him.

Good post.

Either Triboy doesn't know what he's saying or he's just spewing nonsense to try to rationalize his earlier statements. Johnson is one of the best perimeter defenders in the draft and Turner is one of the best interior defenders (averaged 4.7 BPG per 40 min). Not to mention that both prospects are only 19. Still, he'd prefer to take Mickey, Christmas, and Holmes to either of them, which makes my case of him simply wanting to add second round talent to our team.

How do you spew out inaccurate statements and get away with it??  It just makes me smile

At 16
I prefer RJ Hunter, Oubre, Justin Anderson over Johnson
Kaminsky over Turner

At 28 or 33
One of Mickey, Christmas, Holmes over Alexander

I thought this was a joke. Then I saw other post defending it. SJ is better than those guys.

Sully and a pick (minessota) for johnson
zeller and a pick 28 for turner

For the 10th pick we are not giving up three players. Turner is more than a throw in he is top 5 6 man in this league only if WCS is there maybe.
