2016 NBA Draft

Post by wlu_lax6 »

So now there is talk of Ben Simmons not going #1 and Brandon Ingram going first. What I find interesting this how far Melo Trimble has fallen on the boards this year. He went from Wooden watch to maybe in the first round. Similar drop off from Diamond Stone. Highest I have seen him is #15, but more likely down in the 20s.

So do both come back to Maryland? Not as clear that they should go pro if you think they can move up the boards next year.

Next year's freshman class is loaded. They should not come back if they are going to be first rounders

I'll believe Ben Simmons isn't #1 when I see it. Too long, athletic and skilled. It's pretty clear he can get bigger and stronger, and he is one of the best passing forwards. His shot is suspect, but it can be worked on. Whoever takes him better make Chip Engelland a mult-million dollar offer to come help him. The whole 1 year in school thing is such a pile of garbage. It'll change once more kids start going overseas.

edit: can't english gud

I'd take Ingram but I also loved Otto Porter.

Ohhhh. That makes total sense then. I throw lefty. So I'd probably look like that throwing righty.
