51st is a steal for the offspring of Guerschon Yabusele and Georgios Papagiannis

[TheSundanceKid]

I'm pretty certain the mocks have all our bases covered. Ainge is gonna have to draft Skal to make them all wrong now...

[chilidawg]

The Dx mock is a pretty good haul of young talent.  Not sure about chriss, but I like the rest of it.

[The Rondo Show]

Chriss and Korkmaz will be horrible return for our top picks. Eeek.

Disagree.

Throw in Valentine at 23, and I think this is the best draft class in years. I'd be ecstatic.

It has everything. Shooting (all three), shot-blocking (Chriss), play-making (Valentine), defense (Korkmaz, Chriss), all-star potential (Chriss) and a stud culture guy (Valentine).

This would be awesome.

 
Edit: I didn't notice we took Murray at 35. Wow. That's a stellar class. I think Murray has lottery potential; Draft outlets are pretty torn on him. Ford has him top-10.

I actually emailed nbadraft.net a little over a week ago when they had like 7 of the picks being SG's or PG's and told them to smarten up on their next mock draft as there's "0.0" chance of that happening. Not sure they smartened up but I told them if the C's keep all their picks I guarantee that at least 5 of them would be 6'7 or bigger.

Chriss and Korkmaz: a PF that cannot rebound and a junior player from Europe with a non-existing track record (Bender redux).  No and no.

Chriss at 3 and Valentine at 16 (IDK how Id feel about 23) are my Fab Melo's of this draft (guys who I go into the draft just hoping please dont draft this dude)

I dont remember many of my past Fab Melos probably cus none of them have been half as Fab Melo-y as Fab Melo.

You just hate Euros. Korkmaz is an elite shooter who is also athletic, 6'7, and can play PG. He is top ten value.

Chriss I somewhat agree with, but I'd way rather have him than Hield. Elite athlete with talent for scoring, but also some red flags (assist + rebound numbers).

Pick 3 - Marquese Chriss, PF, Washington - Please no
Pick 16 - Furkan Korkmaz, SG, Turkey - Right range and a stash. Nice pick.
Pick 23 - Denzel Valentine, PG, Michigan State - Very weak defender. Rather take foreign draft and stash.
Pick 31 - Zhou Qi, C, China - Might be there, stash
Pick 35 - Dejounte Murray, PG, Washington - Won't be there. Too late.
Pick 45 - Ben Bentil, PF, Providence - Won't be there. Too late.
Pick 51 - Prince Ibeh, C, Texas - UDFA
Pick 58 - Joel Bolomboy, PF, Weber State - Might be too late.

Don't like this draft. Chriss isn't a #3 pick and Murray and Bentil should be 10-15 picks higher.

[Boris Badenov]

Cool, I was really hoping Joel Bolomboy would slip to us eight times.
