2016 NBA Draft

I'd love to see the Bulls take Hield. He's a sniper, and I think he would fit well in Fred's system. I love Georges, but I don't think he'll get drafted.

Only way this happens is if Chicago trades Butler to Minny for LaVine/Dieng/5th pick or something like that. Hield isn't falling into the teens.

I'm far from an expert, but this seems like a horrible draft. I think Simmons is far from the sure-shot that people once thought he was, and Ingram's frame scares me a bit. From there, there is just so much risk with every pick. Do you know what your getting with Brown or Hield? Can Dunn do what he did in college against better athletes? Do you reach on a prospect like Chriss?

76ers promised Simmons the first pick so I'm guessing he is a sure shot. Do I agree with it? No I personally think he sucks outside of 4 feet from the hoop. He has one of the worst strokes and release in the draft.

Odds for Uthoff and odds for Niang to get drafted tonight?

Uthoff will likely go between 35 and 45, but Golden State at the end of the 1st would be a great fit if the Warriors don't want to give Barnes a big contract. Otherwise I've seen Uthoff to the Magic in the 2nd in numerous mocks. Niang has very little chance of being drafted, but he has the skills to play a long time in Europe and have a good career.

Odds for Uthoff according to mock drafts is he's a mid to late 2nd round pick.

Niang is likely to be undrafted

Which just illustrates the problem with NBA talent evaluation. Uthoff proved in the long run to not be a real playmaker.

One of the reasons I just can't follow the NBA.

Uthoff doesn't need to be a playmaker though. He'll be asked to come in for 5-10 minutes to get a guy a breather.

Eh. I'd rather have a guy who can create than a 5-10 minute breather guy.

I know Niang has physical limitations, and will likely never be a good defender, but **** me he can play. He showed it playing with the other rookies a few months ago.
 
Does this thing actually start at 6:00 or is this just when ESPN starts blabbering about it? (not that they haven't already been blabbering about it)

If only the league was all rookies, he'd be set then.

Boston's been working hard to include the third overall pick as part of a package in exchange for an established veteran. No takers yet, but we'll see. Rumors are just that, but for what it's worth the Celtics have mentioned in connection with Kevin Love, Khris Middleton, Jimmy Butler, Gordon Hayward, Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel.

Did you know Nerlens Noel played with Georges?
