2016 CB Draft: Discussion thread

[RJ87]

Whoa. Horford at #16.

[snively]

Horford this early a little bit of a surprise to me - would have had him in the early 20s. Maybe the last playoffs has biased me too much against him.

I thought he'd be there for me at #30 if I was lucky.

[KGs Knee]

Whoa. Horford at #16.

I had him ranked #13 on my board.

I'll admit, though, my board is based purely on advanced statistical information.  I took several metrics from various sources and weighted them, and then combined into a final "score".  I'm picking strictly based on that board.

We'll see what happens.

Whoa. Horford at #16.

Yep. I think that's a big reach.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Whoa. Horford at #16.

Yep. I think that's a big reach.

Agreed, was looking at him as a high second rounder or very late first

Touche.

Definitely had him a 2nd round guy.

[The Walker Wiggle]

Whoa. Horford at #16.

Yep. I think that's a big reach.

He wouldn't have gotten past me. He's an All-Star at either the 4 or 5. I don't see how guys can tout Draymond as top 5 and not acknowledge Horford top 20.

[KGs Knee]

But even from a subjective standpoint, Horford ain't no 2nd rd pick.

That's crazy pants talk.

You guys? I never said Draymond was Top 5....

League sources say that The Notorious S.V.G. is getting excited for his upcoming pick.

No, definitely not. But with the talent available, it's not hard to see why it's looking like a reach.

BTW, speaking of talent available, someone is slipping. 18th pick in and that guy is still available? Good value pick to whoever picks him.

I think I know how you're talking about. He was on my short list with KAT - I didn't think Cousins would be around at #9.

Al's decline on the boards/disembowelment at the hands of TT the last two years have soured me on him a bit.

He's still an excellent player, but he has a vulnerability that's hard to work around.

I'd want to pair him with a major glass-eater/physical presence but at the same time I wouldn't want to push him to the 4 (where he's a less impactful player everywhere but the glass, IMHO).
