2016 NBA Draft Discussion

Georgios Papagianni was very high on the 76ers wish list... he was not going to be on the board much further had he not gone 13

Since their next pick is at 24 I guess that "much further" is relative.

But maybe we can have a trade with 76ers #bringsaucehome

 

[sdballer]

meh...im not too impressed stealing a guy off the list of the worst team in the nba

Especially when we have pick 22 and they have pick 23

 

[Capt. Factorial]

#16 - Celtics select Guerschon Yabusele

 

[Merdiesel]

In Vlade I trust.

With that being said, this guy better be a top 10 talent out of this draft a year from now.

The more I read the more I'm a little sick to my stomach with this reach. Projected 2nd rounder when we have two late 1st round picks... Smh

 

[peacelate]

Especially when we have pick 22 and they have pick 23

Maybe Vlade forgot we were ahead of them.

 

[kingsboi]

and another euro off the board, I guess if you are getting a steal this is the draft to make an attempt

 

[hrdboild]

#13 and #22 to Philly for Noel? I'm reaching here. We need some good news.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I have never been accused of blind optimism but I AM patient enough to wait a lest until the the draft is over to pass judgment on how we did and to be honest after a couple of decades it has occurred to me that drafts are really best evaluated 2-3 years later.

Sixers had multiple picks - not hard to get ahead of #22, given multiple reports, that basically everyone wants from late teens/20s

 

[Amit149]

This will go down as the impossible-to-pronounce-euro's draft

 

[theclash4u5]

I really wish we would have made that KANGZ jersey so I could buy one

 

[Tetsujin]

To be fair, our usual draft reaction profession goes like this:

Draft day: Woohoo! Great pick!

Halfway thru the season: this dude sucks! Trade him for a half-decent vet now!

 

[Sac.Kings]

Depending on what happens with 22, I may or may not turn off the TV and break several things in my house.... Been staring at a vase since we picked at 13 wondering just how far I can throw it...

 

[AaronPDX]

Philly is STACKED with big men and trying to dump a couple just today, so hardly see a trade on that front.
Why on earth would the Kings draft this guy? Makes ZERO sense.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

replacement for KK. dudes got game but bigger than KK

We're just skipping straight to dessert!

 

[biltalent]

Yabusele goes at #16 and suddenly our pick at #13 doesnt look as bad. Wow. Liked him at #59..

 

[joemama]

Papa played with koufos hes excited to come over this yr

 

[Sac.Kings]

I'm going to have to learn a few languages to pronounce some of these names. Jeez.

Please note this peeps.

And remember we had an interest in Noel.

And remember that Bryan Colangelo is a Euro-loving idiot.

And do not give up hope we made that pick for the 76ers as part of a Noel package.

 

[funkykingston]

Yabusele was a guy I loved for the late 1st, early 2nd.

I was mildly hoping for Luwawu at 13 and Yabusele so we could call them The French Connection.

 

[jcwkings]

Just trade Cousins already. WTF is going on.

 

[joemama]

Well there that goes

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well it worked pretty great past time we did that.

Last time we did it, we were also starting from scratch. Do you support starting from scratch this time?

It's a terrible thought, but given DMC's tweet. what came to my mind is that he'll develop under fellow greek KK and it will mean a DMC trade.

There's the answer to your question.

have a feeling we are keeping him. just saw some vids on him. dude is super long, can shoot, low post game and block shots.

Me think same!

 

[macadocious]

Someone ban that idiot

 

[SacTownKid]

He is not plodding. Look at DX. On one play he was the first down the court on a fast break. I am not saying he will be any good but he's 18. His career isn't over yet.

He's a decent athlete but I'm talking mobility wise. He can run, so can Nurkic, still a little plodding I'd say.
