Looking Ahead: 2016 NBA Draft
Who do you guys like as a big for our later pick? I've seen some mocks where Rabb, Diallo and even Skal are available. I haven't seen much of either guy but they are all big, with at least 7'1 wingspan, 9'1 standing reach. In Diallo's case, he's 6'9, 7'1.25 wingspan and 9'2 standing reach! Sounds like he could be a good PF/ small ball C.
Anyone watch them and care to weigh in?
Edit: My bad, didn't see that there were like 30 posts on these guys (usually when i have like 150 unread posts I assume it's mostly just people talking shit about demar and skip to the end - proven to be a good tactic so far on theses boards). Still, if anyone who knows is able to specifically compare these three, it'd be a good point of reference (and much appreciated)Last edited by e_wheazhy_; Sat Feb 27, 2016, 07:59 PM.A key that opens many locks is a master key, but a lock that gets open by many keys is just a shitty lock

octothorp wrote: View PostOne guy I haven't seen talked about for us with that late first is Nigel Hayes. Slightly undersized (but long wingspan) for a straight-up PF. He's the sort of tweener who can back-down SFs really well (but not so much PFs), and can slash against PFs, but not so much against SFs. That said, I think he's got good potential as a smallball 4; versatile defender, spaces the floor, can take advantage of mismatches either inside or outside. If I was scouting him I'd want to get a good look at his shot, that would be my biggest questionmark.
Not sure how much upside he has, but our pick, not too much expectation.
I see a Taj Gibson type player - solid but unspectacular.Heir, Prince of Cambridge
If you see KeonClark in the wasteland, please share your food and water with him.

I don't think he fits beside JV. We're seeing it with Scola. You can't put a poor defensive 4 beside JV. The Raps need a strong defensive 4 that has to be respected out to at least the mid range. Ellenson fits the bill on the offensive end, but needs defensive players around him to hide his flaws on the perimeter.

That's cool.
Next question. If the raps are able to draft Murray, who do you move? Powell or Wright?
I think if we get Murray with the Knuggets pick, you try your best to use Ross and the other 1st to get a starting PF (Thaddeus Young perhaps? Someone else in the $12M range?)

I think you package Ross, PP plus a couple prospects and a pick to get a big upgrade at PF. If you grab Murray.

There really aren't very many big upgrades at PF. Only two somewhat realistic options I see:
Millsap (although it doesn't really make sense for ATL)
Ibaka (just Ross and picks/prospects gets it done if OKC moving on for some reason)
