2016 NBA Draft Prediction Thread

I agree

6-Ben
Lakers-Ingram
Suns-Murray
Celtics-Bender
Wolves-Dunn
Pels- Brown or Dunn if Wolves pick Hield
Nuggets- Hield
Kings- Chriss
Raps- Davis
Bucks- Skal
Magic- Poelt
Hawks- Luwawu
Suns- Sabonis
Bulls- Baldwin
Nuggets- Richardson

I seriously think we pick Dunn or Brown which ever one is available but we prefer Dunn. Reasons for my logic Gentry wants 2 thing Jrue is good but he wants a true pg to push our pace and het this team to run. He also wants defense and Dunn provides both. My logic for Brown is that we've had a hole at sf since Peja. Gentry has stated he wants a 6'7 sf the can handle the ball and defend. This is Brown. Word is Brown has been shooting great in workouts and was a decent shooter in High School. I also believe our FO has enough belief in out staff that shooting can be fixed. Look at the were able to do Tyreke and AD. We have dodged fixing the sf for years and I think he's worth the risk. With Ferry on board he was the guy who wanted Giannis and was willing to take that risk. Also they may realize it's rare to expect any rookie to contribute right away and they will look for that in FA.

1. Sixers- Ben Simmons
2. Lakers- Brandon Ingram
3. Celtics- Jaylen Brown
4. Suns- Marquese Chris's
5. Timberwolves- Kris Dunn
6. Pelicans: Buddy Hield

He doesn't like Hield.

We have yet to have one report to say we are leaning to Hield. They only reports of Hield we have are writers saying he's a good fit to replace Gordon.

Since the season ended a list of what Dell and Gentry have said they are looking for.

Defense
Defense
More Defense
6'7 sf ball handler
Athletic
We want to address the sf position
passing
pace

Not one of those fits Hield's profile. Stop listening to writers with 3rd person sources. Reports are comming out Brown killed his workout for us. He also shot almost as well as Jamal Murray. We also know Dell loves high character guys and listening to Brown speak you know he would love that. We also want smart players and Brown fits that as well. Nothing points to me that we want Hield.

Alvin Gentry admitted that he would like to see the Pelicans add a versatile player, standing about 6'7'' and possessing a good handle

t. If a situation presented itself where we could get a better player than we can draft, that's going to help us in not only the short-term but the long-term, we would do it.

This is pretty much what I'm thinking at this point. But who knows. The last time we had a 1st round pick guys were dropping like crazy

You must not be looking because every report I have seen today says we want one of the shooters. You gonna listen to what Demps told the public media? LOL. And stop with the "he shot well in workouts." I look at games, and he shot 29% and the two shooters shot over 40%, buddy over 50% for 3/4 of the season. We need scoring and shooting.

If we take Hield over Jamal Murray, I'll break something

I'll be pissed as well, but you know how Demps likes experience.

I've realized. I like all the prospects honestly. I just have learned what our FO is thinking right now. They want one of the two shooters. If they don't get one they are trading the pick
