NBA Draft Game Thread (Spoilers allowed)
- Thread starter Devizier
- Start date
He probably turned out as well as anyone else who was available at that pock given Stephenson's and Whiteside's issues.
This feels kinda unfair without context.bowiac said:
I'm going to only judge his first ten years drafting for Boston, I think the jury is still out on Olynyk, Smart and obviously Rozier.
He made 12 first round picks(I'm counting the guys he kept, so Rondo, not Troy Bell) from 2003-2012. The highest pick he made was #13.
In those 12 he got Rondo, Al Jefferson, Tony Allen, Kendrick Perkins, Jared Sullinger, Avery Bradley, and Delonte West.
Two disappointments, but still played a decent amount in the league in Marcus Banks and Gerald Green.
The only straight misses were Marcus Banks, JR Giddens, Jujuan Johnson and Fab Melo. all picked #22 or later.
Considering where he was picking, I'd say that's a pretty good draft track record.
Helps to have Duncan to cornerstone and help develop guys.JohnnyTheBone said:
And if the only obv one is Buford youre doing something right.

That's what I'm saying. Add Powe and Big Baby to McPickl's excellent post.
Byron Scott on truth serum: "well if Randive will take Russell and Randle, I won't have to talk about how he fits in our roster..."
Don't necessarily hate the pick because I'd like to see Bradley out the door regardless. Team just needs length so badly though. No SF or C worth anything on the roster as it stands right now.
Definitely didn't want to blow the Brooklyn wad on a prospect, so that's a win I guess.

Larry Nance btw is your reach of the first round. A lot of people thought he wasn't going to be drafted at all.
Ooops.

Who knows. Young was expected to be a project but can shoot himself. Until we see him after his redshirt year it's hard to say.Steve Dillard said:
The wild card for the cs is james young.
If bradley gets dealt (i think he will)
Pg- thomas and dozier
Wing: smart young hunter
Thats not a horrific rotation IF young can realize his potential.
Hunter needs to check out the Journey to Swolehalla thread tho. Man. 6 6 185? Hes gotta put on 20lbs

Here's one scouting report on him, who they even compare some to Stephen Curry http://www.rantsports.com/nba/2015/06/15/2015-nba-draft-scouting-report-r-j-hunter/
Young is really smooth on the court and has a good stroke. His ceiling is Bradley Beal to me. Hunter is going to be a rotation at best.
