Ive seen Payne in person. I don't think he's going to be all that great.

Its so hard to know withthese players. Sometimes you put them in a NBA system and they are utilized properly and just improve overall. It seems like he has excellent play making ability which will help reduce the time that either RW or KD have the ball in their hands so they can rest a bit more. Thats my guy from the video I've seen.

You woudn't be saying this if they drafted a stash player overseas.

You're right. It's mostly a troll job.

I still don't like the idea of basically throwing a pick away. Most players taken that late don't amount to anything, but sometimes they do. You can't win the lottery unless you purchase a ticket.

Believe it or not but there were rumors that the Spurs were strongly looking at Huestis so the Thunder did not think he would last till their next pick. They really like Huestis and we will see this year if he is ready to contribute.

It's possible. Like I said, I'm mostly just trolling you due to your above prediction post. I honestly don't know a thing about Huestis other than the post draft criticisms.

Melo isn't the problem. It's Phil.

They missed in 13 as well.

This draft is so weak. The NBA draft is such a total poop shoot.

**Heyward** · 06-23-2015, 02:10 PM

I'd like Booker or Oubre, wouldnt hate Dekker either.

Payne would be good, but it sounds like Indy takes him at 11.

I dont really know who they'll pick though.

He was always highly thought of but injuries dropped his stock. Not top 10/lotto but he was always an easy 1st round talent kinda guy

**gilesfan** · 06-23-2015, 02:13 PM

Doubt it's even possible, but Boogie to Washington would be interesting.

You're probably the only person to evaulate this draft as weak.

I'm not sure pairing him with Wall makes sense. Washington needs to work on getting young and more athletic onthe wings to capitalize on Walls tremendous playmaking in the open court.

Younger than Beal and Porter?

Thats two players. And if you are trading for Cousins you bet your ass those two would be involved.

No. There are a ton of fringe NBA players in this class. Especially outside the lottery. More specifically the top ten. Other than that it's a lot of marginal players who might actually make a team.

Well, there are two spots on the wings and they are filled with a 22 year old and a 21 year old.

I was responding to you guys getting Boogie.

Even with those two guys you still need to get younger and more athletic to capitalize on what Wall does well.

That or sign KD next offseason.
