Mack1085 57 Report post Posted June 5, 2018 Hammond is just being smart. He’s not going to telegraph our pick or preference. Even if he doesn’t love Young he would note the point guard hole so that a team after us who does love him will feel the pressure to move up. It’s all gamesmanship. Was interesting to note the way he referred to Jabari’s potential after the knee injury though. Didn’t do Jabari or his agent any favors in RFA with that comment.

However, at 6, you go BPA. Sometimes, there's a chance where BPA also fills a need. there's never been a better link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's not referring to any specific player. He's also not not referring to any specific player either. You guys can take it as you like but the truth is that we lack depth at every position. PG,SG,SF and Center. Hence, the BPA. The big question is who is the one determining who the best player availble at 6 is?For some is Young while for others is Bamba/Carter or Porter Jr. THe most interesting point on the interview is that he mentioned than when you draft in the BACK HALF OF THE FIRST ROUND or second round you look for need. We are getting our PG in the back half of the first round!!!! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We all like young, but FO could very well value a different PG higher. We'll find out in 2 weeks. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don’t all like him though. This does happen to be what seems a deep draft at PG so it entirely would make sense to draft BPA at 6 (newsflash, that isn’t Young) than trade back into the late first for a PG. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He looks like he's settling or something. He is a freshman.... young players will have ups and downs. .. especially at pg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newflash, was I addressing you with my comment? Many like him, many dont. I really don't care. Depending on who else is on the board, I think he is BPA.

Generally when someone makes a statement like “we all like....” based off the English language “we” would imply all of us. I was simply pointing out how that assumption was false. I didn’t even project a view. I just said your statement was false, which it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted June 6, 2018 Just reading how Sac and Mem might like Porter. This draft is going to be fun. Someone could end up pushed down to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
