15 and 7 last year?
I wouldn't draft a replacement lol.

 

[DJT]

But what if he gets hurt?

Which he seems to do often.

15 and 7 on terrible teams. Come on, you know this lol. You can't rely on Devin Harris to be the starting PG on a playoff team.

I'm excited to see where Norris Cole ends up late first-early 2nd. He could be a real solid player in the league.

Devin Harris is probably Knight's ceiling though

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I disagree, i think he can be better than that. but yeah if you think that, he's not worth the pick.

 

[The Young One]

Selby is supposed to be interviewing with NY...he's close to melo so maybe something comes out of it. But I see the knicks going for a big.

 

[RipCity32]

I really don't think Harris is bad at all lol. He was an All-Star a couple years back. Not like the dude is complete ass. Knight isn't going to step in and probably be a better player than Harris lol.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

All star on New Jersey does that really count?

*waits for D-Will to come and defend his team*

 

[RipCity32]

They weren't complete ass that year lol.
Point is, he doesn't suck lol. Rather, I don't think finding a PG is Utah's most pressing need.

 

[DJT]

Me neither...biggest need is a SG/SF player. Then a C (probably backup), then a backup PG.

Devin Harris averaged 16 and 5 as a member of the Jazz. For a point guard, I don't think those are good numbers. Only 5 assists?

For the Jazz? I think PG is their second biggest need. Unless Williams falls to them, I think they take Knight (as of NOW, workouts can change everything)

You could argue that a backup PG is more important than a backup C...

Question.

What do you guys see the Raptors moving for at 5? I'm kinda outdated on my NBA Draft..

 

[DJT]

You mean moving like trading or who they will try to get? I think they will go with Brandon Knight/Kemba Walker/Kawhi Leonard or one of those big guys...like Vesely or someone, but I think Knight or Kemba if they are there.

 

[Mooche]

Well, what do you think they'll do with the pick? I mean, I am sure trading is a possibility for the Raptors depending on the deal, but player wise as well.

I'm kind of worried about Kemba. I don't mind him as a NBA talent, but it's pretty easy to say that he is nowhere near that kind of high pick. It's just this draft really slides downhill after pick three on, no?

 

[DJT]

Yeah, big slide, more of a drop off probably. But some of these other guys could really surprise some people...a lot of guys seem to want to work real hard.

 

[Mooche]

It's just one of those years though I really hoped the Raptors hit big, and got in the 1-3 range more than anything.

Sounds dumb.. I mean, you always want that for your team lol, but it had to be this year we got 5.

Ugh.

 

[elcheato]

Raptors will probably take Tristian Thompson
