5. Minnosota - Thon Maker. AGain, the best player available, doesn't jibe with what the t wolves need. i believe strongly they will tradet his pick to get a contribute now stretch 4 but if they don't, what do you really do? take a point guard you got 2 already. really 3. take a big man? Thon has an outside touch and can grow into the stretch 4 position. it's a high risk high reward type deal here. But i think they trade the pick


WTF?

While you have been correct in your assertion that Minnesota could use a PF, they are also in-need of a SG. KAT/Dieng have proven they can coexist on the court with one another; they have both excelled. Why not keep them together in the starting five?

On the other hand, Minnesota's bench is severely below-average once Zach LaVine is inserted into the starting lineup. Move him back into the sixth-man role and draft a guy like Jamal Murray that can stretch the defense, which is something Minnesota very much lacks with Rubio and Wiggins.

Also, quit spelling Jamal's name like you're talking about Jamaal Tinsley.

Some of the players you listed won't be drafted until the second round

I'll take a crack at it.

1. 76ers: Ben Simmons. Best chance to be a superstar.

2. Lakers: Brandon Ingram. Fits perfect with that roster

3. Celtics: Dragan Bender- Stretch 4 playmaker for a team that can use one. Team is already guard heavy

4. Phoenix:Jaylen Brown. Maybe a reach, but high upside as a defender and rim attacker.

5. Minnesota - Kris Dunn. Tom Thibs gets his pointguard. Rubio will be moved / come off bench.

6. Pelicans: Jamal Murray. Pure scoring 2 guard to put next to Holiday.

7. Nuggets: Buddy Heild. Get a scorer next to Mudiay.

8. Sacramento: Henry Ellenson: Stretch type big that can play next to Boogie.

9. Toronto: Skal Labissiere. Long defender with good touch. Make take some time but would be solid next to Valanciunas

10. Bucks: Malachi Richardson. Athletic 2/3 they can shoot it. Rising up the boards.

11. Magic: Denzel Valentine. Shooter for a team that needs one.

12. Jazz: Furkan Korkmaz. Just seems like a Jazz pick. Shooter at the 2 guard.

13. Suns :Marquese Chriss. Scoring threat at the 4.

14. Bulls : Jacob Poeltl. Not sure here, will need to move on from Gasol and Noah.

You want Simmons on the Lakers SO BAD that you :

1) Falsify scouting report on Randle

2) Misrepresent Sixers team-needs- > they absolutely need a dynamic SF (wtf?)

The whole thing is laughable really.

This is pretty good. I don't expect to see the Nuggets passing on Ellenson so I'd probably put him at 7. Kings would be dancing in the streets if Buddy fell to them.

2. Lakers: Ben Simmons - where he wanted to go all along. Randle and Simmons are kinda the same player, but Simmons is better. I wonder what they do with Randle now.



That's not true at all.

I don't see why everyone keeps piling on that, it maybe the one thing he said that makes sense. They're both ball dominant, non shooters who need to play PF.

No, not really. Randle is a post scorer. Simmons is a point forward.

Does not change what I said. And Randle is not a post scorer, much more of a driver.

Your Pels pick indicates you are a Pels fan. IMHO Dunn goes earlier.

I don't see the likeness with Simmons Randle. I hate that you have to pick all these guys so young and hope they will develop. It bothers me Simmons can't shoot. His dad played pro ball. Why wasn't he shooting 100 jumpers off the dribble from 14 feet when he was 13?

Not that I agree with your assessment, but the Warriors have a group of players that are essentially the same, all with slightly higher or lower pitched skills. That's where the game is going.

About what. They play the same position and play similarly, Randle is just looking to score where Simmons is more of a facilitator.
