Simmons was the obvious, runaway #1. Really not sure where the hate for him came from.

 

[Natebishop3]

That dude is a child.

 

[ripcityboy]

Did anybody point out to him that you can't curse on national television? Or are they too busy kissing up to him to give him some adult advice?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

TJ McConnell is one of those Delly type players who gets up in your face and plays 110% every possession

TJ McConnell, Matthew Dellavedova, and Aaron Craft should just always hang out together.

It looks like JA had some words to say about it.

K Dunn looks good

I was watching him vs Denver. I think he's gonna be a star.

I thought he was going to be a star watching him at Providence. He just has that smoothness about him that stars have.

I thought he was going to be a star when I was watching him in middle school.

 

[Natebishop3]

It blows my mind how far summer league has come. I remember when it was a big deal because wheels was going to call the games on blazers radio. Now it has huge sponsors and the games are all on ESPN and NBA tv.

 

[MickZagger]

I'm on record. Are you?

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm on record. Are you?

Yup. Let me go find my post on middleschoolballers.com

Trying to figure out which of today's SL games I should watch on replay. No K Dunn for Minny tonight, so I don't really care to watch them. Ingram looks like he played like shit for the Lakers tonight so that one is out as well. No GP2 for the Rockets...

 

[PDXFonz]

Think I'm going to watch the Kings-Pelicans game. Labissiere looks like he had a nice one tonight 16 points on 6-14 with 6 boards. Buddy Hield dropped 23.

 

[PDXFonz]

I'd probably draft Hield over Simmons in fantasy league. Dude can score, and will probably get a few assists each game as well. I can see Hield having a solid season playing alongside Davis.

Dunn is probably the best out of the 3, but I wonder how big a part of the offense he will be with KAT and Wiggins. Wiggins had a moderate-average fantasy season last year, will fall off a bit if Dunn is a big part of the offense, at which point Dunn could potentially be the more valuable player considering Wiggins' weak contributions outside of scoring.

 

[ripcityboy]

Haven't seen a lot of Labissiere but did that guy shoot some guy's dog or something? He was like the number one recruit going into college and then every sports columnist started taking a part his game. Even Barkley took time out to criticize him. Does he really translate THAT badly from college to the pros?

Looks like he has a nice touch in the paint. Needs to put on some muscle and work on setting hard screens.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Zubac is going to be a player. Very agile for his Gasol-like size.

Dunn, Wiggins and Towns will be some core. That's the advantage of drafting players as opposed to signing or trading for them: you get to keep them for almost a decade if you want to, half of which will be for low money.

The did technically trade for Wiggins.

 

[Sarni]

The did technically trade for Wiggins.

Well yes, he was technically still a draftee though. Wiggins, Towns and Dunn in three consecutive drafts is serious good stuff. LaVine is not a bad talent either, he could develop into a fine player.

Unlike 76ers their line up has been drafted with balance. Sixers have got high picks but used them all on centers, they need to start trading them now, otherwise they're going nowhere. Embiid is also still so far from having an impact.

 

[PDXFonz]

Still not impressed with Simmons. 6 Assists, 5 TO's, not a great scorer.

 

[PDXFonz]

Steve Kerr doesn't think Draymond assaulting somebody is a big deal.

I guess you'd feel that way if you see it 82 times a year.

Someone is desensitized to his actions.

And to think, I respected Kerr for a minute...

I'd rather have Keifer Sykes than Napier

You're not thinking the long game. Napier is LeBron-bait.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

As I've said, this is the guy I'm interested in. I'd rather have him than Patty OR Montero:

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Unavailable, but looking pretty damn awesome:
Norman Powell (pick #46 last year)
Josh Richardson (pick #40 last year)
Connaughton was #41 - so we could have had Powell instead. Here he is:




Funnily enough, a lot of us wanted Powell before the draft, but none of us wanted Connaughton.
(Worth noting: Powell was supposed simply to be a defensive specialist and amazing athlete. Looks pretty smooth, doesn't he? He also started for the Raptors a few games last year.)
