Darius Miller?
Apart from Unibrow who's the other one?
Darius Miller?
Call me a homer but I think The Piston's scored big. Drummond is 18 and could be great or a solid pick at 9.
Kings and Celtics
I nearly fell out my chair when I saw the Monty Williams interview where he said Rivers is great at setting up teammates. I wonder if he has ever actually seen an Austin Rivers game. I mean, you can hardly find highlight videos of the kid passing. I don't get that pick at all when they already have a much better version of Rivers in Gordon.
I don't think he's going to pan out, but at nine, it'd be nuts not to take him. Worst case he's probably still a starting center. Best case he's better than Davis. I do have to admit his Pistons career didn't look to have a great start when he looked like he just got done sipping syrup with Pimp C in the interview though.
Rivers, he's extremely talented tbh. He needs time to develop fundamentals and mature, but he has a higher ceiling than Lamb and the other guards besides MKG. If the Spirit get a good coach that keeps Rivers under control, you have an amazing 1-2 punch with Davis.
I love Rivers as a 2-guard. I don't what the they're smoking in New Orleans thinking he could ever play point though.
I agree & Monroe is just gonna keep getting better & better; Pistons are gonna be a force with all that size.
Mavs
Huh? The you're going on about, I'm not talking about what position he should fall in yet. Need to see how he receives the transition to the NBA and how he gets coached before that is determined.
All I said is that he's an incredibly raw player with a higher ceiling than the other guards besides mkg.
You forgot to add this at the end.![]()
I don't see how he & Gordon coexist tho.
Easy, he can play when Gordon is injured.
having monroe move to power foward is great, he may buy dumars a gift for that. he will need to improve his jumper though.
It's not as if most teams play with the traditional PG/SG/SF/PF/C configuration though
The Spurs don't play with a distinction between PF and C or SG and SF. Or the Magic don't deploy an orthodox, back to the basket PF in favor of a stretch 4.
Or the Wolves or Clippers, which have a plethora of small guards and big men - but no real wings.
Celtics did well with Sullinger, Fab Melo can play a role. Fits needs, and Sullinger especially is good value. Kings had Robinson fall to them, but selling off #36 is a loss, that's just because the Maloofs are broke. Orlando was solid in getting more solid bigs, and Milwaukee did well, especially if you include the trade with Houston to get Dalembert as well.
Cavs reached for Waiters, and I would imagine that they overpaid for Zeller(24 and 33 woul've probably been fair at that point, Dallas getting all 3 picks is robbery.)
houston didnt do besides stack up on small bigs talent, they have like 7 pf on their roster
Well I guess it's unfortunate since trades can't be executed until the season right? Oh, wait, they can...![]()
Houston Rockets depth chart (assuming FAs aren't re signed)
PG: Lowry/Livingston
SG: Martin/Lamb
SF: Parsons/White
PF: Scola/Patterson/Motiejunas/White/Jones/Brockman/Leuer
C: NOBODY
Why can't I hold all these PFs? Why are the Rockets the Bucks of the West?
Lakers are the clear winners....
Mike Huguenin's Analysis: Robert Sacre...Cant rebound score or run very fast....![]()
If Denmon's TRB% is better than Sacre's I will eat my non-existent hat.
Also this means the Lakers just dropped to dead last in pace with Kobe being a TOSB and Jim Buss continuing the Bynum love affair.
I don’t think Kobe is done…Kobe is an assassin who would gladly throw Pau under the Lakers bus if it created cap space….
