Poeltl & Pascal - The 2016 Draft

[SkywalkerAC]

He isn't a person, Finch is a pseudonym. It's a compiled opinion from multiple scouts/personnel made to look like one person said it. Allows anonymity and honesty.

So more evidence of consensus😀

[Axel]

Ah sorry. Skipped the intro and just went to the player profiles here at work.

SI does it every year and because of the way it's done, it's one of the better scouting reports done I think. Honest opinions from scouts that get filtered through each other. All the benefits of compiled reports in an easy to read format.

I think Hield or Bender will drop and MU takes him. Davis gets taken right after. I will then punch my wall.

Masai on possibility of trading the 9th pick: "It's something I'm entertaining. We're talking to a few teams and we'll see how it plays out"

Davis would be a no-brainer if his motor was so questionable.

[3inthekeon]

So lottery teams are trying to trade their picks, Ainge is trying to trade how many, 5-6-7 of his 8 picks? Only 2 teams I know of want picks - Knicks and Nets. And what do they have to offer? Cash and????.

[SkywalkerAC]

Wouldn't be surprised if we traded back for Sabonis/Davis

Please, please, please.

Nothing against your wall, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

I think by now MU knows what are his available options for the 9th pick,most likely made a decision on it,however he's "entertaining" everybody at this point.

[A.I]

I'm looking forward to the draft. Mainly because I have no idea what Masai is going to do, but am interested in finding out.

Things move though. As it gets closer to draft day, there's the possibility teams get more desperate, and even on draft night if someone slides it could open something up.

Don't worry. I've been assured it's easy to move down in the draft....

Of course it is easy. But why would you want to?

A list of prospects/ various scenarios (including if somebody slips) is already in place,they only need to follow the plan.
The thing that could change things around are the top lottery picks available for trades.

Well, if it's easy, then you should be able to simply move down, take another similar player to the one you would have taken and collect additional assets from the plethora of team apparently desperate to move up and get your pick. Who wouldn't?
