NBA Draft thread

Love Ben, but he is not an NBA prospect.

I'm glad the multiple NBA teams that have invited him to workout don't feel the same way.

Love Ben, but he is not an NBA prospect.

I'm glad the multiple NBA teams that have invited him to workout don't feel the same way.

Ben is getting looks and will get a summer league invite somewhere, but I doubt he sticks in the NBA. Hope he does. But in reality I see him getting a good Euro gig like Tolbert if he wants. Same as JT, Ben just doesn't have the range at his size for the show. He has the handles, passing ability and mind for it, but at 6'7 you gotta be able to stretch the D consistently. He will get his chance though.

I agree, but if you're getting invited to workout for NBA teams, you're an NBA prospect. Whether Ben is an NBA player remains to be seen.

Ben measured 6-6 203 at that recent Portsmouth predraft thing. That's a shooting guard in the NBA trying to play the 4.

D/X Mock as of 6/19

Semi to ORL at #25
Sterling to HOU at #45

The updated CBS mock has Semi going to Utah with the 24th pick. I've thought for awhile he ends up in Utah.

Per Mike Fisher, the Mavs have both Semi and Sterling on their radar:

"Here is the radar list I’ve been given:
*Bam Adebayo, the 6-10, 260-pound center from Kentucky.
*Luke Kennard, the 6-6, 200-pound shooting guard from Duke.
*Isaiah Hicks, the 6-9, 240-pound forward from North Carolina.
*Josh Hart, the 6-6, 204-pound shooting guard from Villanova.
*Semi Olajeye, the 6-6, 240-pound forward from SMU.
*Sterling Brown, the 6-5-225-pound shooting guard from SMU.
*Luke Kornet, the 7-1, 250-pound big man from Vanderbilt.

None of these names are consideration at No. 9, where Dallas is presently scheduled to pick. But the Mavs view this as a deep draft and are aware of the added value of the “Two-Way 16-17th Men’’ rule that makes deep scouting more important than ever."

"Olajeye" ... *eye twitch*

I am up-late so my draft prediction:

Semi to the Jazz (#24), I reserve bragging rights if they take him at 30 lol.
Sterling Brown to the Sixers in 2nd round (39).
Ben Moore Undrafted.

We are getting close to Semi time......

[ponyboy]

you got your mavs pick at pg

[LA_Mustang]

Yes. Can't believe it. Mavs fans aren't supposed to get what we want in the draft.

[Stallion]

One last accomplishment before the Ben Moore/Sterling Brown era ends-don't think anybody has mentioned

4 Trophies

that would make a great picture-Sterling and Ben with the 2 AAC Championship and 2 AAC Tourney Championship trophies

Get it done-and plaster it somewhere in Moody

[One Trick Pony]

I think a stallion statue would be more appropriate. Encapsulating anyone that buys season tickets to basketball is a knucklehead. Go ahead and get some equestrian tickets while you're at it
