I'll take a much closer look later on, but Lalanne loos raw as fuck...

Welp, my draft sucked aside from Keifer Sykes, whom I traded. So yeah. Lol

McConnell hit the higher end of almost all the ranges, and White the very lowest end of all my ranges. Felicio I can't remember, and would have to go back and look.

You had a solid draft looking at the numbers. Even Felicio looks like he should have been drafted much earlier

I like my guys also. Certain obvious weaknesses (no defense at all from anybody) but we can work around that

I haven't looked at potential - just the current.

I think Scottie Wilbekin could have been better, BUT I love the potential I see

He's already low-end starting caliber (which is something even before TC) - can't wait to see him grow.

I'm a fan of McConnell, he's something special in my opinion. Felicio is a very good pick!

Not impressed with my guys

Depending on what Myles got for Lacey, Dallas had a great draft.

Post by **Dennis** » Tue Oct 20, 2015 8:27 pm

He gets Gudaitis and a future first

George DePaula looks like he's going to be an incredible passer, an above average defender and shows the potential to be able to shoot it some. I can't complain about this pick at all.

Shayne Whittington is what he is: a 6-11 oaf that can block shots. He has the potential to draw some fouls, won't foul out but lacks rebounding or defensive skills. He may get a 1 or 2 year trial contract but we aren't expecting much.

Dustin Hogue shows some scoring ability but won't rebound, play defense or handle the rock. Not sure how long he'll be on this roster.

Could be said Orlando had a great draft...for other teams.

Like what I see in Zipser and Hunter...man...

And Embiid, whoa but he has a long way to go... Justin Anderson looks great!

Kilpatrick could be a stud if he realizes his defensive potential, but he's already 23 so it better happen soon. His ceiling is probably Avery Bradley, which is terrific for #24.

Lalanne on the other end, he... doesn't look good outside of shot blocking and offensive rebounding. Not much room to grow either. I doubt he ever leaves the D-League this season.

My two cents about the top picks. Sorry, but Vonleh looks horrendous. Even if he is a very good shooter, he looks hopeless defensively. DePaula has the potential to be the full package, but he's terrible now. Justin Anderson and Joel Embiid must have slept with my scout's wife. Predictably, Gudaitis looks like the best defender of the class, which I why I wanted him so badly. McConnell looks quite good. Stockton is horrific defensively, but good otherwise. Vince Hunter looks full of potential.

This draft is ugly

Obviously based on our scouts but Thompson looks better than Anderson which isn't right so it's really hard to tell based on what I'm seeing as the Kings. I'm pretty happy with Thompson though as HTML says 73 defense already so can play from the get go in Parsons place. Papapetrou looks horrible defensively.

Vonleh and Embiid look raw as hell. DePaula raw also but has some really nice potentails. McConnell decent at 5 too.

Damn! Most if not all of the rookies are raw.

Post by **Dennis** » Wed Oct 21, 2015 5:15 am

Keep in mind we didn't even pass TC yet. Some of them will jump 10 or more points. Just as comparison, Christian Wood was rawer than Embiid. Also, what do you expect to draft at 20? I think Lalanne is decent. Good backup big for a few minutes. It is nearly impossible to draft steals in a sim league if a decent scouting system is available.

Post by **andrei** » Wed Oct 21, 2015 7:45 am

yeah, last year Randle looked like a bust before TC but now he is a stud PF (outside of injuries of course)

As said by Dennis and Andrei, we cannot yet have a final picture on the rookie class. We need to see them after the training camp.

But on first look, DePaula, Embiid and Vonley are extremely raw but with nice upside.

In my opinion the nice surprise is Trevor Lacey who is already CSL ready and has the best rankings so far
