CTMagicUK 1,480 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 Alright well here are 3 guys I would like to target in the second round. These are guys that I've seen on TV from time-to-time and have been drawn to, not just randoms that I looked up on youtube. Anthony Barber: PG, NC State. This guy is fun to watch. Lightning quick and great in transition. Can get to the rim whenever he wants, he lives at the free throw line. Love his passing too. He reminds me of Mike Conley some. He's improved his numbers across the board each year in college. Dropped 32 against NC recently and admittedly this was when I discovered him. He needs to put on some weight as he's pretty thin and will have to cleanup his shot selection, but he could become a nice point guard. A.J. Hammons: C, Purdue. Hammons was a big time recruit that didn't really put it together much until the second half of last year. I'm an Ohio State fan so I've seen him play a ton. He leaves you wondering why he's not better a lot of the time, but this season he really has improved. He's massive at 7 feet and weight 280 pounds. I think he could be a Roy Hibbert type player. I watched him play this week against Michigan State and he dropped 19 points, but 8 blocks. Yes, 8 blocks. He is a brute on that end of the court. I would love having someone like that coming off our bench. Wayne Seldon Jr: G, Kansas: I'm sure most everyone knows something about Seldon. Big time recruit, been a bit of a disappointment, but he's 6'6 230 with great physique. He plays great defense and should be able to match-up really well with his size against other guards in the league. Also, he's improved his shot and is shooting 42% from deep this year. I think he would fit in nicely with us. I like Hammond a lot. Not a terrific rebounder but good and a solid passer, can score down low and a good shot blocker. My comp for him last season was Samuel Dalembert. Other guys I like in the second round are: Gary Payton II Tyler Ulis Brice Johnson Ulis is a weird one. I doubt he's ever a starter but he's got all the intangibles id want in a backup point guard. He plays terrific pressure defense despite his size and has a decent jumper. Even if he pans out he might only ever be Earl Watson but there are worse things. Gary Payton II I throw on there because if he's nothing else he's a great rebounder and defender. Plus we could confuse teams and announcers by subbing out Payton for Payton and/or playing them together. And I just like Brice Johnson, he's athletic, he's a good rebounder, he's had some monster games this year and he has potential to grow in my opinion despite being a senior. Although I think he might wind up in the first round now I think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murphy13 185 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 I think it's entirely possible we could end up with the 7th pick in this draft. If so, I would try to trade up into the top 3, if possible. I would leave everyone on the table at a chance to get Simmons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would leave everyone on the table at a chance to get Simmons. You want Simmons you're gonna have to get the # 1 pick.. At the moment we're sitting at 11th best odds in the lottery, but we're only 3 wins above Denver who has the 6th best odds. I'd rather trade out of the first round.

Murphy13 185 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 You'd rather trade out of the first round than try to get a top 3 pick? Or trade out of the first round if we don't get a top 3 pick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we get a top 3 by lotto luck I'd see what it could net us on the trade market, but would more than likely keep it, but the odds of that happening are so low. If we pick between 8 - 12 which is our most likely spot at this point, I'd trade down or out of the first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not much if you ask me. If the kid at our pick isn't sure fire star get rid of the pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
