Exclusive Official 2017 NBA Draft Thread

LOL Bell to Golden State?

Olshey, the draft isn't over yet. You could've waited an hour to do this damn press conference. Should've traded for one of them.

 

[B-Roy]

Jordan Bell traded for CASH. LUL

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

And well worth it. His ceiling is an all-star imo

All-star is too lofty, haven't seen enough to make that kind of ceiling. I think he is an Ibaka level ceiling from what I've seen. Not horrible value for a 10 pick though.

 

[illmatic99]

Jordan Bell traded for CASH. LUL

max allowed amount. 3.5 mil.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I'm glad. A player that devoted deserves to be part of something special.

He's gonna end up owning Collins and Swanigan and I'll be forced to hate him and on a larger level, olshey.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I'm not too happy after reading more on Swanigan; seems like he won't be able to play any defense at all. not big enough or quick enough for inside; can't move well enough for perimeter D.

Who knows that? Just because he's a homer pick doesn't mean he will tear it up in the next league. The NBA is like color compared to the black n' white and of college.

Idk I just have a good feeling about Bell, the last Duck that i saw have his it factor is Brooks.

I think think he fits GS because he can feature on a team with so much talent. The Blazers aren't near to being able to use such a talent in a specialist way. Green and Bell will be interchangable. We still have solidify our starting lineup.

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Dammit!! The Warriors was the LAST team I wanted Bell to end up on!

Son of a bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They now have two Draymonds.

Neil you done fucked up!!!!!!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Bell on Warriors is awesome. Too bad their front office isn't as savvy as ours.

Well when I say ceiling that means if all the stars align and he lives up to every bit of his potential.

And we didn't come out of this draft with a day one starter whether it been via trade or draft.

Swanigan seems like a dumb pick, but I haven't seen him play.

 

[riverman]

Sacramento stole Giles from us. Fuck

you mean GilesImightbegregoden?

 

[illmatic99]

Neil said we had no money to go buy a 2nd round pick. Used the max amount we could in the Nurk trade. Or else PA would "not be on a plane right now instead of burning a hole in his pocket."

$3.5 mil is a massive number.

 

[riverman]

Swanigan seems like a dumb pick, but I haven't seen him play.

me neither....I watched Bell a lot..saw him live a couple of times in Eugene...oh well...

Kevon Looney.

Oh ok makes sense.

 

[Blazer4ever]

I think we've made an awesome draft.
Collins would be very good and I wouldn't be surprised if Swanigan is even better. We really made a major step forward in terms of building our front-court. I've been wrong before but I think these players make us much better even as early as next season. Kudos for Neil who is in my opinion one of the best, most trustworthy, basketball minds in the league

And we didn't come out of this draft with a day one starter whether it been via trade or draft.

Is there actually a player in the draft that would have started day 1 on our team.? Tatum is the only possibility I can see.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Tatum, Isaac, Josh Jackson, maybe Markkanen.

 

[ripcityboy]

Yeah I think we did great as well. Things like these take a couple of years to work out though,

Write it down. Collins will start, or at least play starter type minutes next season.

 

[MickZagger]

I like Swanigan too. Such a skilled big. What does all this mean for Vonleh?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Tatum, Isaac, Josh Jackson, maybe Markkanen.

Did you see how skinny Isaac is. He is not ready
Markkanen will be better than Noah, but day 1? We are better off with Noah's D
Josh Jackson would not start over Hark or ET or Crabbe. 2-3 years from now is a different story.
Tatum is a stud.

Think he'll have some foul trouble early

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Vonleh is firmly ahead of both picks as of today. However, he is gonna have to earn his minutes with this competition.

Collins is skinny as hell too but Isaac at least has creation skills.

That he'll play because he can defend
