2013 NBA Draft Thread

[time4change]

Right I understand that but his stock will fluctuate I'm sure. Again, I'm not saying these players will be there.

SO i am bored.

Here are a list of the shooting guards who should be coming in this years draft. By no means am I saying any of these players will be around for us, rather if we want to take that next step we need to position ourselves to get one of them.

Ben McLemore

Shabazz Muhammad

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...Muhammad-6270/

Archie Goodwin (IDK if he'll come out or not)

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...-Goodwin-6432/

Michael Carter-Williams(I think he can play the 2 and could be dangerous with Jennings on the wing.)

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...Williams-6262/

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...pe-6240/stats/

Glenn Robinson III

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...Robinson-7185/

Jamaal Franklin (my favorite)

A couple thoughts on some of these guys. I think its pretty much a forgone conclusion Ben and Shabazz are gone awfully early, so they are most likely out of the picture unless we get crazy lucky.

I could see Glenn being a Michael Kidd-Gilchrist type of guy this season. MKG was always slated in the mid first round early in the process. He didn't really jump off of the paper since he wasn't putting up gaudy stat lines and played with other guys who were putting up big numbers. Glenn is sort of in that line. He's comfortable playing his role with Hardaway and Burke and isn't forcing the issue, so he sort of gets ignored. But he has a relatively complete game, and his stock will just continue to rise as he keeps being the solid rock of that team. Unless he starts to show a major weakness in his game that I haven't seen yet (although I haven't watched him a ton), I think his stock will keep slowly climbing to the point where he goes relatively early if he decides to come out.

I know that you and many others are very against Ellis as a player, but if we decided to commit to him over Jennings for some reason, I think Carter Williams is the guy we should do just about anything to get. He has the ability to bring the ball up as a PG, which is something we don't seem to want Ellis to do. He's more of a distributor than scorer, and he has the size to defend the bigger guards where he'll pretty much play the 2 on defense and the 1 on offense.

If we commit longterm to Monta Ellis long term I will officially start being a Bulls fan.

I cannot take back to back seasons of absolute **** moves. Last year with Ersan. I have supported these Bucks for so many years through all these terrible years and to see them so close and then throw it away like that, I just don't know if I could deal with knowing the fact that we would be so far away from winning after that signing.

God I hop it doesn't happen.

Latest mock at #18 shows us taking 6'0" PG Trey Burke then at #48 we select 6'5" SG Michael Snaer.

[MILLERHIGHLIFE]

2014 – Owed second-rounder (top-40 protected through 2015, unprotected in 2016) from Houston Rockets (Samuel Dalembert). Rockets must complete their second-round swap with the Atlanta Hawks a year prior to sending pick to Milwaukee.

No thank you to either of those guys.

What does this mean?

[MadtownBuck]

Burke seems like OK backup PG prospect. He has good arm length, athleticism, and fg%.

Withey shows yearly improvement, but not really a need.

Couple of decent SG prospects also, such as Caldwell-Pope.

Hardaway Jr.? too early to say

Rockets owe us a second round pick from Dalembert trade. Well there's protection on it besides a pick swapping with them and the Hawks have to be done before they deal with us.

Withey would be nice but only if he fell to the second round, which will never happen.

Caldwell Pope is a pretty good prospect, he is very intriguing and I don't think he is maximizing his full talents yet.

Hardaway i'm pretty skeptical about just because I don't know if hell be anything more then a spot up shooter.

I'd still take Franklin over any of those guys easily though.

Love to see this connection with Jennings. I already see it forming with the screen and rolls with Jennings and Sanders.

[time4change]

Looks like Victor Oladipo probably wont be there for the Bucks either. His stock is rising fast.

[MILLERHIGHLIFE]

Tim Hardaway JR?

[time4change]

Tim Hardaway JR?

Assuming Franklin would still be there, he'd be a much better prospect then Hardaway Jr. I just don't think Jr.is really going to struggle getting his shots because he lacks a quality first step.

[time4change]

Also I'd much rather have Robinson III.

[MILLERHIGHLIFE]

Robinson3 will be gone way before we pick. Unless we move up.

[thornga2]

Franklin is a college junior who is shooting 38.5% from the field. For someone who is that good of an athlete, that's pretty bad. He's very raw for a junior.
