I have a hunch these NBA teams are going to pick the "best player available;" someone who "we ranked much higher than where we took him."


I think this could be the theme of this draft....

Bobcats Interested In Moving Out Of No. 4 Slot « CBS Detroit cbsloc.al/11QHQ2j


More confusion....

Two hours before the draft Cleveland is still taking offers for the No. 1 pick.
 
I suspect Cleveland will end up keeping the pick and drafting Noel or Len.
 
I think BPA in this draft will lead to a lot of interesting decisions, since people have different players ranked completely differently. And if McLemore drops to 5... I bet Blazers are allover that,

Big reason there could be so few trades at the top: Teams that have picks think they are worth much more than the teams inquiring about them


This is the reason for lack of deals before the draft IMO

I think if they take it for trade, it would have to be Noel. Noel would not be a bad piece to keep in storage for half a season.

Freeman and Goliver think our pick will be Cody Zeller.

Zeller seems like the safe, tradeable pick. I'm not sure he fits well with the current lineup, but he might surprise me too. If he and/LMA could get down the court consistently they could really run the steam out of some opposing centers.
 
Why all the hate for Zeller? I think he's got potential to be a very solid 5. Not All Star caliber, but very solid starting 5. Is it the white guys are always busts fear?
 
Man I really don't want to draft another center that will probably not amount to much. Rather go with a guard, someone who many have the ability to create shots for himself and others. Center just isn't going to do it for me.

I think one other possibility is that if POR does end up dealing LA, like at the trade deadline or beyond, Zeller could be a potential replacement at PF....

Most so called experts think he is a 4 and I don't think he is a good 4 or 5. I sort of liked him last year with the small sample size of times I watched him. I saw almost all his games this year and wouldn't touch him unless there is nothing left. I rather have Dieng.

Phoenix is one of few teams trying to get lower first round picks. Suns need young bodies....

this looks like something the blazers could get in on

Oklahoma City has to be frightening Atlanta with threat of selecting Greece's Giannis Adetokunbo at No. 12. Hawks have long wanted him.

Many people think his future is at the 4. He just isn't physical enough to play center.

We're hearing from league sources that Nerlens Noel's knee was red flagged by Suns. There's speculation that he could slip out of top 10.

Last minute subterfuge to get him to drop a spot or 2 or legit?

Even with the knee, POR would be crazy to pass him up at #10, wouldn't they?

I hope we don't take Noel.

Probably, but after Oden and Roy I doubt Allen would sign off on such a pick.
 
If the Suns red flag it, then you know it ain't good. Maybe smoke to have him fall to them tho lol.
 
At least Zeller is a skilled big man and not some high-risk project like Leonard or Adams

Biggest ? marks for me in Mock: Cavs at 1. Bobcats at 4. Pelicans at 6. Thunder at 12. Mavs at 13. Carter-Williams vs. Burke in NO so close

Little chance of Magic parting with no. 2 pick
