Nice trades by Portland. Aldridge contrary to reports has not decided ihe is leaving. The story seemed fake as fuck tbh. LaMarcus wants to win which is why the Lakers are at the top of the list. FOH with that shit. NBA insiders are the worst tbh.

Mudiay at 7, Winslow at 10, Portis at 22 are all steals in my book.

Knicks fans are pretty pissed at their selection. I thought the guy they picked was really good.

I don't know anyone <_<

Who are the best peeps?

This pisses me off. Porzingis has amazing potential but the Knicks fan are too impatient to wait and see how this guy works out. It's not like had they drafted Mudiay, Winslow or any of the remaining college guys at their pick that they would have suddenly become a championship contender...

They ended up getting Grant in the end anyway, albeit for giving up Hardaway Jr.

My top 15 from this draft:

1. Jahlil Okafor | C | Duke
Comparison: DeMarcus Cousins

Projects to be the primary offensive option for a team but doesn't offer the same versatility as KAT. ++inside scorer. Similar in skill down low to Cousins, Duncan, Shaq types. Projects as an average defender and help defender. Average rebounder.


2. Karl Anthony-Towns | PF/C | Kentucky
Comparison: LaMarcus Aldridge

Two way difference maker. Better defender than Okafor and more versatile offense. Projects as a +shooter, +inside scorer, +defender but average help defender. Could be a ++defender, but it's unknown just how much Willie Cauley-Stein's presence helped Towns. Will need to play with a rim protector-type center. Average rebounder.


3. DeAngelo Russell | PG/SG | Ohio State
Comparison: Steve Nash/Ricky Rubio mix

Perhaps the best passer in the draft class, but lacks the foundation to be a primary scoring option. Will be a streaky shooter with the ability to score in downpours but not consistently. Projects as a ++creator, +shooter, and +defender.


4. Emmanuel Mudiay | PG | China
Comparison: John Wall

Few guys his size are as explosive. In a class with John Wall and Russell Westbrook. Projects as a ++scorer. He'll set the tempo on offense.


5. Frank Kaminsky | PF/C | Wisconsin
Comparison: Chris Bosh lite

Incredibly polished and refined offensive game. Projects as secondary offensive option. Projects as a +Shooter and +low post scorer, but an average defender and average rebounder.


6. Devin Booker | SG/SF | Kentucky
Comparison: Klay Thompson

He's a plus shooter now with a strong foundation for defense. Projects as a ++Shooter and a +Defender like Klay Thompson.


7. Cameron Payne | PG | Murray State
Comparison: Jose Calderon

High IQ facilitator. Projects as a third option on offense but a rock-steady passing presence. He'll keep his team on schedule. +creator and +shooter. Will have years over 40% from 3. Could be a 50/40/85 guy.


8. Mario Hezonja | SG/SF | Croatia
Comparison: Gordon Hayward

Varied offensive player with potential to be a plus defender. Unfortunately, he only projects as a +shooter and a +inside scorer. Has the potential to be a good rebounder as a shooting guard as well. Defense could be above average.


9. Justice Winslow | SG/SF | Duke
Comparison: Jimmy Butler lite

He's the opposite of Devin Booker. He's a +defender right now and should become a ++Defender and a +shooter. He'll never be a creator on offense, but you shouldn't need him to.


10. Willie Cauley-Stein | C | Kentucky
Comparison: Tyson Chandler

++defender and +help defender. Great teammate and leader. Average rebounder and limited offensive potential. Nice "glue" guy for a good team.


11. Kristaps Porzingis | PF | Latvia
Comparison: Ryan Anderson

Projects as a ++Shooter but not much else. Good athlete so you should be able to run with him on offense. Below average rebounder and inside scorer for a big man. Would need a ton of work to become the next Dirk, but he has a lot of potential.


12. Sam Dekker | SF | Wisconsin
Comparison: post-prime Shane Battier

Projects as a +defender and +shooter. Big shot maker. Can handle the ball a bit, but it's not a strength.


13. Stanley Johnson | SF/PF
Comparison: Jae Crowder

Can create his own shot and shot above average for a college player for shots off the dribble. Projects as a +defender and +rebounder. I don't think he'll ever develop a consistent outside shot.


14. Myles Turner | C | Texas
Comparison: Joel Anthony

Below average rebounding numbers for his size, but has the potential to be a +rebounder. Has some touch to about 15 feet on his jumper. Will make his money as a rim protector. ++help defender, +defender, and not completely inept on offense.


15. Bobby Portis | PF/C | Arkansas
Comparison: Taj Gibson

Projects as a high motor two way player. Probably a 4th option on offense and a secondary rebounder. High end rotational player.

I heard that Pat Connaughton cat was a bit of a steal. Good thing is that they got Plumlee who can very well be a starting Center or a really good backup.

wizards got Kelly Oubre jr, has potential

14th in a trade
