Might not mean anything, kind of interesting though.

I don't know what Lyles is supposed to be

8. Detroit Pistons: Willie Cauley-Stein, Kentucky
The Pistons acquired Ersan Ilyasova from the Milwaukee Bucks, signaling that Greg Monroe’s days in Motown are done. This move gives the Pistons a forward who can stretch the defense offensively. Detroit may entertain suitors for the pick with the thought that its two biggest needs coming into next season are small forward and an offensive minded guard off the bench. Sticking at the No. 8 spot, the logical selection is Cauley-Stein. His ability to protect the rim and flexibility to guard all five positions are proven NBA assets. He can also contribute on the glass. With Illyasova and WCS in fold, Detroit continues to mold into a Playoff contender.—Leigh Klein

if winslow and mario are off the board, we should draft wcs imo

 

[RipCity32]

I don't know if he can stretch the defense like he says, but if we go BPA and he's there, I don't see why we should pass on him.

i think that was about ily

 

[RipCity32]

Oops yeah. Lol.
But yeah. My overall board would be:
1. Justise Winslow
2. Mario Hezonja
3. Willie Cauley-Stein
4. Stanley Johnson
5. Devin Booker

 

[Teagz]

Don't like the fit of WCS next to Drummond.

 

[RipCity32]

He'd more or less be our backup 4/5.

 

[Pugz]

thats why i like him. can plug him into two positions off the bench and could get decent minutes right away. the athleticism of those two on the court at the same time would be good too.

I like Lyles... Just not at 4.

I'm just waiting for the annual Knicks booing their draft pick

New York Knicks Fans Post Team's No. 4 Pick in 2015 Draft on Craigslist

After seeing their team lose out in the 2015 NBA draft lottery, a group of New York Knicks fans are willing to part with the team's first-round pick.
 
New York is set to pick fourth in the draft despite finishing with the second-worst record (17-65) in the NBA this past season. Both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers were lucky enough to jump the Knicks at the lottery.
 
Karl-Anthony Towns, Jahlil Okafor and D'Angelo Russell are the top prospects in this year's draft. Given that the Knicks are sitting at No. 4, none of those players might be available by the time New York picks.
 
While that may be part of the reason some fans are hoping to trade the pick, others just want to trade the pick because it would be such a "Knicks move."
 
Check out this Craigslist ad a few Knicks supporters have put together about the No. 4 pick:

Let me tell you a little bit about the fourth pick:
-It comes after the first three picks.
-It's right before the fifth pick.
-You can choose any of the eligible players who weren't already selected.
-Previous NBA studs that went fourth overall include Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Drew Gooden, Marcus Fizer, and NBA Champion Eddy Curry!

Please contact me with serious offers only. Right now we're looking to unload an unnamed aging Spanish point guard (for privacy reasons specific details must be kept confidential) as an attachment to this pick. If you've seen our history working together as a group, you know that we don't mind getting the worse end of the deal if you're willing to take the players we no longer want. In addition, we are trying to add a few aging veterans who are familiar with basic shapes like squares and triangles (though we're lenient on squares knowledge at this point).

The draft will be held Thursday night, so anybody who is interested better act quickly.

 
Bwhahahahahaha

Okay so I've been hearing the Pistons like Oubre.
I might jump on that bandwagon.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'd take Porzingis over Okafor and just bet on the league makes him stronger

 

[Hurricane Season]

Hezonja just looks like a fucking dbag.  I know there are several sources saying he actually is a cunt, and I believe it.

He certainly has that look to him, but the dude can play. He's going to need to get humbled though.

That's a big reach if they take him at 8

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Maybe it's the Kansas connection but Oubre feels like Julian Wright to me.

Their games aren't similar at all
