I've been blindly hoping that Brooks would slip to the Hornets at 45 lol

Does anyone else think that Jajuan Johnson is really undervalued, I think he'll make a solid pro

 

[bosoxlover12]

ive actually watched a lot of purdue basketball

he's perfectly valued right now. anything better than 23rd overall is reaching

I see him fitting in as a solid sixth or seventh man for a contender, but I just feel with the skill set he showed in college he could be a very good value at say a 23

 

[elcheato]

He'll be a solid back up, but that's about it.. Not much of a post game, if at all. Will just be a 'stretch' 4. Not big enough to play center, and he won't have as much of a defensive impact like he did in college.

 

[DJT]

JaJuan seems pretty good. Did work at the combine.

 

[The Young One]

Cheat..I heard Marcus is a sleeper pick at 4...or the cavs could eventually trade back up in the top 10 for him.

 

[DJT]

I don't think he'll go that high...I see more around 10.

 

[The Young One]

He's killing workouts...

I think Morris goes to Charlotte at 9.

Maybe, not sure what to expect at 4 but I don't think we'll trade down.

 

[DJT]

I think Morris goes to Charlotte at 9.

If he shows he can be a true SF I can see that, otherwise, they are full with PFs already.

 

[The Young One]

This isnt Derrick Williams..Marcus has shown the versatility to be a 3 man in the league. He'd be best off as a stretch 4 in my opinion.

No good ones, though. Tyrus Thomas is better off the bench and Marcus Morris may be better than Boris Diaw as it stands now, certainly in a year or two.

That is true, but they are probably high on Thomas (like most people were), Cunningham, and DJ White had some good games for them.

I hear people are doubting that he can guard an NBA 3...he has the range though.

I think Williams could play the 3 or 4.

 

[The Young One]

I think Williams is best served by being a 4 in my opinion as well.

Probably? Let's speak in facts here. Tyrus Thomas was productive this season coming off the bench but had a terrible injury and wasn't the same after he came back from it.

Dante Cunningham and D.J. White are scrubs and they would never not pick a player because of having those two on the roster.

They have Augustin at PG, Henderson played very well when they started him at SG, Jackson at SF, they need a big man.

 

[The Young One]

Supposedly Washington and Phoenix are going hard to try trade up to the get the number 2 pick and get DW.

Yeah Pheonix could put together a good package considering they have wings out the ass and that's exactly what Minnesota needs. The question is are any of them combined with the 13th pick a good enough offer for the #2.
