ClutchFans 2016 NBA Draft Thread (6/23/2016)

there are supposed lottery picks left yet.
Labisserie, Luwawu, Deyonta Davis, Korkmaz
the croatian Centers
and some very good projected second rounders. Like Hammons, GP2, Qi..

 

Yes, any athlete that sounds sharp is refreshing. If anything I'm prejudice against athletes being articulate because they frequently sound like they don't know what to say. Hell, there are plenty of white news anchors that sound like they're lacking something. Quit being sensitive in a way that makes it sound like you expect all people to be articulate. It's a compliment. Being articulate is rare amongst all people regardless of race. This isn't 1999, it's 2016. The most articulate person in the world right now is black and his name is Obama. He makes all people white or otherwise seem inferior when he opens his mouth.

 

I doubt we will trade any players on our roster now.

 

So many good players slipping. We need to do something or cross our stupid fingers.

 

Ford's tier system has the "role player" tier spanning picks 14-35. that means you can get the same value in the early second round as you can in the mid first. morey is probably thinking he can pay less and get the same level of player by going for an early second like he usually does.

maybe packaging both picks for 1 early second rounder. and maybe buying another second rounder with cash.


secondly, with the front court all unsigned, i think morey will target bigs. this draft is turning out to be a morey special... acquiring early second round picks and drafting undersized PFs.

 

this is boring

 

boring ass draft..again

Wake Up!

 

Morey doesn't want players to have guaranteed contracts so he will stay out of the first round IMO

 

rockets trading into late first round heating up, targeting skal per Heinz sauces

well he is a jackass. i see guys falling who would help our team greatly. doubt they are there in round 2.

 

I wonder how far Dejounte Murray will slip...could be an interesting backup PG and maybe starter in a few years.

2 hours in and only on the 22nd pick!? Gonna be here til midnight!

 

How much time in between second round picks?

 

I can see Morey going for Skal or Deyonta.

 

Gross. Do you like Wroten? He's Tony Wroten jr

a lot of good bigs still on the board. i think we will come away with a decent player tonight, even if we stand pat.
