Official 2013 NBA Draft Thread

[elcheato]

Well the difference being our top picks appear to have their head on straight, and the Kings don't have this much top talent anyway

@Probballdraft Noel interview went well but did not change CLE's thinking. Len still favored.

 
 
Oh, and Ben McLemore is coming to NOLA...

 

[elcheato]

He posted that status when the Cavs were still interviewing Noel

No way BMack falls past Charlotte or Phoenix

No way BMack falls past Charlotte or Phoenix

Workouts and interviews have been very poor so his stock is dropping. Phoenix was reportedly the worst of his workouts and they lime Oladipo more and Charlotte would likely go a big like Noel, Len, or Bennett before a wing. So it is very possible.

And just for cheato:

I'm hearing Cavs have moved Otto Porter to the top of their draft board.

 

[buzzy]

this is the most uncertainty over the top picks we've had in years, right?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Absolutely

 

[elcheato]

The Cavs have apparently moved Noel, Len, McLemore and Porter to #1 on their draft board, all in the same week.

Chris Grant is the absolute best at blowin smoke

1A, 1B, 1C, 1D?

 

[The Young One]

I'd be floored if it wasn't Len. 
 
Ben to the Pelicans..They're gonna be fun to use in 2k.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I think it could definitely happen. 
 
You have Cleveland who could take him, but it kind of seems like they will go Len or Noel.
 
Orlando could take him as well, but from what I've heard they're on Oladipo.
 
Washington won't take him because of Beal.
 
Charlotte could take him as well but I think they would rather take a big like Len, Noel, or Bennett.  Plus they have a very underrated two guard that will be a free agent that I'm sure they would love to bring back in Gerald Henderson.
 
And then Phoenix loves shooters, but from what I've heard his workout in Phoenix was very bad.  Could barely make it through it.
 
And that leaves New Orleans to pick him up at 6 and ship Gordon out.

 

[The Young One]

For whatever it's worth..I've heard his agency has put out some of those rumors about him because of the situation with the Blackstock guy.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Basically from what I can gather a New Orleans sports reporters source is connected to the Orlando staff in someway and is being told Orlando is locking in on Trey Burke at #2, and just last week the Pels were all in on Burke after it looked like Len would be gone and Carter-Williams has been unimpressive in workouts.  At this time they felt McLemore and Oladipo would be long gone but now it seems their stock is slipping and now they're putting all their efforts into those two guys.  Dell Demps and company attended a Oladipo workout today and McLemore will be in town tomorrow or Sunday.

 

[Pugz]

if they do get dipo or bmack in the draft im going to be pissed we didn't try to move up unless we take ej from yall

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Yall could literally take him lol, tired of that pussy.

 

[RipCity32]

Way I see it for the Pistons. If Burke is there, you absolutely take him. If he is not, you take KCP, Shabazz, or MCW.
 
I swear if we take McCollum or Zeller, I'm through. 
But they would be such a Dumars' pick, so who knows. 
I'm pissed just thinking about it >_>

Burke, Pope, Carter-Williams is the way I see it.

 

[RipCity32]

If the rumor about Pope is true, then you are probably right. Fingers crossed. 

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Though I still don't think Zeller or McCollum would be bad picks.  Who on your team is a certainty to be there in three years?  Drummond?

 

[RipCity32]

I'd say Monroe and Knight as well. Can't envision GMoe going anywhere.
