Buehrle>Wood Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 PG- Dragic SG- Wade SF- Deng PF- Bosh C- Whiteside That's the 2nd best lineup in the East, if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I haven't watched nearly as much college basketball as usual, but a few random comments... -I think you have to take Towns #1. Okafor is a phenomenal scorer down low, but is limited in other areas. I don't even think his rebounding is that great, at least on the defensive end. He just kind of stands there most of the time. -You gotta love Russell's skills, but I'm not sure if he's athletic enough to be a star. An interesting thing I found a while ago watching draft express videos is the huge disparity in his stats based on quality of opponent. I believe his TS% was like 64 against teams below .500 and 53 against teams above .500. I like him, not sure if I love him. -I don't really get the Justice Winslow love. Yeah, he's a nice athlete, but he never really jumped out at me when I watched Duke. If he blows up, it will probably take a few years like Jimmy Buckets. -It would have been interesting to see where Mudiay would have gone if he had played in college. I think he might be a steal. -Several interesting bigs after 10. I'm not sure they'll turn into anything, but guys like Myles Turner, Trey Lyles and Bobby Portis at least look like lottery picks.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thunder are going to get a really good player. Not bad considering they're a top 3 title contender next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Zoom. What about Russell doesn't appear to be athletic. He tested pretty well. His game pace is what deceives people. Being the entire OSU team offensively hurt him bad against quality opponents but he's still going to be turnover prone for a few years in the NBA. He's not quite a polished PG yet.

Watched so much Duke this year and never once do I remember saying, wow I really want him for my team. Opposite for Jones and Okafor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Bulls got a guarantee to Payne at 22. Not that means anything. Other than that it's the questiest team on draft night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 06:40 PM) KC indicating this will be the finalized coaching staff. Myers is officially coming back to Chicago. IIRC, Drose really liked Pete. Fred Hoiberg - head coach Jim Boylen - associate head coach Pete Myers - assistant coach Mike Wilhelm - assistant coach Ed Pinckney - assistant coach Charlie Henry - video coordinator I know two of these people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 25, 2015 -> 07:48 PM) PG- Dragic SG- Wade SF- Deng PF- Bosh C- Whiteside That's the 2nd best lineup in the East, if it happens. It looks good on paper if everything goes right (kind of like the Bulls last year, though probably more upside). They also don't have much depth, which is an issue considering Wade will miss at least 20 games we don't know how Whiteside will handle 30 MPG for an entire season.

He's not quite a polished PG yet. Unless draft express is lying to me, Russell didn't do the athletic testing at the combine. I take those with a grain of salt anyways. It's more than he's not a guy that's regularly going to finish above the rim or blow past people purely on speed. He relies on craft more than athleticism. It's worked for guys like Harden and Curry, but I'm not a smart enough evaluator to know how well things will work for Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He crosses dudes up with quickness. Harden is a pretty good comparison though. Manu as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harden is a pretty good comparison though. Manu as well. Like I said, I take raw testing numbers with a grain of salt because it's not a game setting. Guys have as much time and space as they want, which is why OJ Mayo can test better than Russell Westbrook. I like his skills and think he's going to at least be an above average starter. My question isn't so much if he's going to stick, but whether he's going to average 16-4-4 or 25-5-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Dekker still on the board. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls take him at 22. Edit: Nevermind, Houston took him at 18.
