No one has started a thread on these guys

[LooseCannon]

As far as I can tell, the following players projected as first round picks by Draft Express have not been mentioned in the title of threads in the draft subforum that have been started since last year's draft:

James Young
Dario Saric
Nik Stauskas
Adreian Payne
Wayne Selden
Bogdan Bogdanovic
Deonte Burton
CJ Wilcox

If you're looking to make a name for yourself on the forum, maybe you can do some research on one of these players and make a case that Ainge should draft him, looking to move up or down in the draft if necessary.

I'm all about James Young.  Granted I'm not basing that on a lot, but I def think he is an intriguing talent.  I dig long-armed wings that can shoot.  Hopefully he's available with our Brooklyn pick.

I hope Bogdan Bogdanovic goes to a team with an awesome home court announcer.

James Young is a beast. I think he's going to be one of the steals of the draft and I really hope the Atl/Brooklyn pick is high enough for the C's to nab him. I hear great things about Bogdanovic as well and Payne or Selden will be really good role players on any team.

I hope Bogdan Bogdanovic goes to a team with an awesome home court announcer.

There is a near 100% chance that he will go to the Spurs, but at least Marv Albert announces a lot of big games.  BB looks really good - he's a 6'6" SG that is dominating one of the better international leagues and he can shoot from outside.  There is tons of scouting on him since he is playing in the Adriatic League.  Biggest knock is that he is 21 already.  He will thrive in San Antonio when every other team passes on him, but I think he will need a system like that to really reach his potential.

I was expecting to see Mark Karpeles as one of the names on this list.  Shocked there is no thread about him yet today.

Fan of Payne.   Wouldn't mind taking him with Brooklyn pick.  Maybe trade down before taking him.

Is Brad Stevens the kind of coach who would create a system like that?

Who is that?

James Young can really score, I have watched a lot of their games and him and Randle are the two best prospects on that team.  He can knock down threes and get to the hoop...I would be ok with him but Hairston is the guy for me with the C's second pick

More importantly, is Mike Gorman the right fit for a name like that?

The blue ball bouncing dough boy is one of the most hated people in the world right now.  Did he lose your money too?

Not to get political, but I am rooting for bitcoin to fail.

Bitcoin may very well fail, but it wont be sunk by tech nerds mismanaging to manage hundreds of millions of dollars. It will likely be because something that improves upon it comes along.  The MySpace to Facebook analogy hits pretty spot on.  The world of finance needs to be turned on its head, this is just the first shot fired.

As not to get off topic, I think Wayne Selden could be a good under the radar guy with a solid NBA career.
