2016 CB Draft: Discussion thread

[Who]

Taken now?

I LOVE to watch Bledsoe bulldoze big men in the lane. And he was playing with a new found level of control last season. 20.4 points, 6.1 assists and 4 rebounds per? This has been a crazy second round.

Thats who I assumed you were talking about, certainly based upon talent he would have gone much much earlier, just seems injury prone, probably because of how aggressive he always plays.

I was looking at Bledsoe's missed games earlier. It goes:

1st year = full season
2nd year = injured, half season
3rd year = full season
4th year = injured, half season
5th year = full season
6th year = injured, almost half a season

One full season. Then one half season. One full season. Then one half season ...

So he's due a full season next year, right?

I hope so, would certainly help the Celtics pick plus he is fun to watch.

I'm using this if anyone tries to use the injury argument on Bledsoe. Thanks for that.

I'm not sure where I'm going now.

It feels like the Towns-Middleton combo is the same as Towns-Wiggins, only with less athleticism but better shooting. Wanted a PG or a Ball Handler in that's spot and I was robbed.

Thanks a lot for taking Eric Bledsoe and Andre Iguodala (you know who you guys are), and ruining my plan in the process.

Thoughts on Reggie Jackson at 20? Stats almost identical to Isaiah thomas

I was hoping he would slip a bit further. Very good PG.

Does anyone think I could get away with having Klay Thompson play the 3?

Also, please PM me if you are interested in 2.23

Yep. Klay can defend the 3 and he will be even more difficult to defend on the other end.

Rebounding will take a bit of a hit though.

IMO, he has the size to play the 3.

Didn't we settle this at the DKC side already? Yah can't.

[RJ87]

My other guy is still hanging around... Maybe could've stayed at 24 after all lol.

EDIT: There he goes at 23.

[airbelinelli]

So here's what the Warriors look like heading into day 3:

PG: Eric Bledsoe
SG: Bradley Beal
SF:
PF:
C: Myles Turner

With two picks tomorrow to fill out the rest of the roster.

[The Walker Wiggle]

With Pick 2.22, the Cleveland Cavaliers select Serge Ibaka.

Great pick! You probably already know how I feel about Ibaka.

Thanks. Surprised a 3 and D PF/ small ball C ( how many of those exist? ) like him lasted this long.

People overall seem to be down on him, I gauged interest in him in the DKC and people weren't willing to give up a ton.

Declining numbers for two straight seasons is a little disconcerting, particularly his rebound rate. Donovan's choice to forge ahead with Brooks' plan to make him a stretch 4/5 doesn't fully explain his struggles. A contract year as the alpha dog in Orlando is going to decide a lot. Still worst case scenario you got a playoff-tested elite shot blocker who moves well laterally and knocks down open jumpers.

Can LeBron play the 4 full time?

[The Walker Wiggle]

Can LeBron play the 4 full time?

You'll have to ask him, since he decides everything in your organization now.
