Most of it looks good to me. Not sure Myles Turner will go that high, but people seem to be enamored with his "skill set"

[Hovadipo 53,688]

Don't take this personal, just some constructive criticism...I don't see Lyles or Turner going that high and I don't see Mudiay slipping to 7. Hezonja and Cauley might be a little low as well.

KingPG might kill me on this, but I'm not too opposed to drafting Turner. It sounds like his workouts have been going well and he has a pretty high ceiling in my opinion. Also seems like a high-character guy in his interviews and someone that is willing to work to be a good NBA player. Wouldn't hate to see Oubre either, if he lasts that long.

I don't ever take it personal. There are plenty of options at most of the picks. So there are plenty of ways the draft can go.

I would rather have Kaminsky than WCS.  Kaminsky can hit the outside shot and isn't afraid to bang.

After the first 3 the Knicks could take Lyles so they apparently really like. They could take Porzingis or Mudiay. They could take Winslow. The Magic are most likely taking Porzingis if he's there. It sounds like the best fit for the team. The Kings could also take Mudiay or Porzingis if they fall there. But they do need help at the 4 a ton. Which leaves Lyles, Porzingis and Turner. It's hard to find a team that could be willing to get another center as well wear WCS would fit in. Knicks could but #4 is very high for WCS. Magic have Vucevic. Kings have Cousins. Nuggets Nurkic. Pistons have Drummond, Hornets have Jefferson. Heat have Whiteside. The Pacers(if smart) will let Hibbert walk making an opening there and Bird has expressed that he likes WCS. But this is why I love the draft. So many possibilities.

I don't want Kaminsky. I think he's a career backup. And doesn't help the Pacers get more athletic which they desperately need. But who knows. It could happen.

I think Turner and WCS will flopped. I don't see Lyles going that high or Mudiay that low, but if Johnson falls to Miami I don't care how everything else falls into place. Lol

I'm liking this because I'd like to see Johnson, Oubre or Hezonja go to the Heat. Depending if Wade stays in Miami though lol.

I want Johnson, Booker, Dekker, then Oubre in that order. I don't know why but I just don't want Hezonja.

[FindEndNow 198]

He is a bit of a mystery. Most players coming from overseas are. Hezonja could be a Chandler Parsons or he could be a Rudy Fernandez. But I like Johnson and Oubre. Both have a ton of upside.

[KingPG21 6,558]

Booker isn't getting past Charlotte. Apparently they love him which makes sense, no one on that team could shoot worth a damn. I do not want any Kentucky player not named KAT, WCS is horrendous offensively, Lyles is getting so vastly overrated by so many people, and Booker just doesn't blow me away.

Eh, workouts don't really mean anything to me. There are plenty of examples of the lesser player out performing guys who had much better careers in individual workouts. I really don't want any part of Turner, think he is going to be a bust

[Hovadipo 53,688]

Hezonja has game. I've watched some Youtube videos of him. Unfortunately, he's nuts, from what I've read. Like... rebelious teenager nuts. That + South Beach = Bad News Bears. He could be special though. 6'6-7 and SMOOOOOOTH.

Lyles will not go that high. Within the last week or two his stock seems to falling more and more according to the experts. Ive been hearing that he will drop to the lower part of the first round.

Rudy Fernandez had himself a nice little career in the NBA. I followed his short career and he never really got the playing time he deserved. Thats why he gave the middle finger to the NBA and went back to Europe where he is one of the top 5 players in Europe.

[FKfootball 1,046]

The Pacers should draft BPA.

I feel the same way about Kaminsky.

[DawgBawls 712]

Sam Bowie will go 1st ...guaranteed! :D

[KingPG21 6,558]

Also, saw a tweet yesterday that the Pacers and Nuggets are both actively seeking to move up in the draft. I really hope we're looking to get Winslow or Johnson.
