Buddy.

I like Buddy.  But the question is, can he make it all the way to the basket at the NBA level?

Or will he be dancing around the perimeter mainly

It doesn't matter how good of a shooter you are, if you can't put your defender(s) off balance here and there, you can't be great in this league

His most deadly weapon will surely be his outside stroke, but I believe he has enough off-the-dribble game to be a more versatile offensive player than he's often given credit for.

DKC Seventy-Sixers:

PG: G. Hill/D. Schroder
SG: C. Lee/B. Hield/T. Luwawu
SF:  Giannis/J. Lamb/M. Kuzminskas
PF:  E. Ilyasova/J. Jerebko/R. Christmas
C:    N. Vucevic/K. Olynyk/E. Davis/C. Jefferson

Jamal Murray.  Cannot believe more here are not pushing for this guy.  We need a dead eye long range shooter.  Love Danny but he just a fair drafter and will most likely go for his usual best athlete that cannot shoot.  Smart, Rozier, T Allen, Banks ect.  Jaylen Brown sure does fit but I cannot handle all the clanks much longer.  This team cannot shoot and Jamal Murray is special.  I think Calapari may be correct in saying he is the best player in the draft.  Get us a SHOOTER Danny.  I beg.

Buddy Hield is my guy but I'm leaning towards Jaylen Brown, unless Bender killed his workout with the Celtics.

He is a very good shooter. But why can't you grab good shooters later in the draft??

A guy with Browns combination of physical tools/skills do not exist later in the draft

Maybe Dembry . But he is 6'5

Last year Danny worked hard trying to make a trade happen. This year, if he can find a willing partner, then it's a done deal. Most likely it will be for either Okafor or Butler. Bradley, draft picks and one of the rookies would likely be the asking price.

My guess Philly would select Dunn. Why Danny would let that happen is beyond me. Bender's or Brown's future impact will likely be as good or better than Okafor's.

My preference would be to draft either Bender or Heild. A lack of disclosure for Dunn's medical records worries me. Thus, I'd keep away from him.

Brown is the common sense pick. His efficiency rating, if this is the right statistic, was off the chart poor in this regard....not sure why? Maybe he has molecules of Kedrick Brown in his DNA?

I think Lakers will take Brown. We will trade Ingram for Butler.

Hield and Murray I believe have already been eliminated. They just exceed Ainge's shooting percentage cutoff. Once they each broke the celtics record in the 3pt shooting drill, it was over for them

I think the odds are:

trade: 30%

Dunn: 45%

Brown: 20%

Bender: 5%



So if I had to make a call on who the pick is, it is Dunn. The BPA at#3.

I would take Dunn unless Simmons drops which he won't.

I think Dunn and then immediately get to work on a trade with Utah or Sacramento (or Philly)

Non-trade pick:  I'm guessing Brown if Ingram doesn't drop....

We're trading a buttload of picks to move up to the #1 from Philly.

Philly gets Dunn and enough picks to make Hinkie smile, Boston gets Ben Simmons to replace the walking cheeseburger that is Jared Sullinger.

Hinkie is long gone from the Sixers.
