2016 NBA Draft discussion thread

Might be the best player the Celtics have taken all night, and I'm basing that entirely on his attire.

Cavs bought into the draft and took a guy shorter than me!!

I personally still love that we drafted Jaylen Brown. I don't care that he might not have been the universally understood #3 prospect, but he was definitely a Top 7-8 guy. So if you can't move down because teams dont want to move assets to barely go up, and you really like the guy and his fit -- then do it. I've stated for over 3 weeks now that I've wanted Brown at the third pick and now we have, so I'm happy with that.
 
I wish we traded more, but obviously nothing could materialize. We took two draft-and-stash players, which I don't think affect the cap (I hope not at least) and then took Demetrius and Bentil in the 2nd round: good mid-1st round guys that we got on unguaranteed 2nd round contracts. 
 
 
It was a decent draft. I understand why people don't like Jaylen really, but I think he'll prove them wrong because I think he's a better player than what he showed at Cal. 
 
Nothing special, but it could have been worse. Look at what the Kings did. They traded down from #8 and got fucking Papagiannis at #13. Could have been a ton worse.
 
I'm satisfied. Would have been much more upset overall had we taken Chriss at 3

Alex Poythress goes undrafted. Kept refusing to declare while his draft stock progressively got worse.

(this isn't actually true though)

Jaylen was definitely a Top 2 player at Cal last year lol
 
Not gonna argue whether he or Rabb was #1, but he was definitely top2

Well Wallace was their best player so this is awkward
