1997 Draft Discussion

Scouts predict a record amount of post players drafted this year

[JayGreen]

Was hoping for top 3, but grateful for be at 4.

Literally have no idea what to do. 6 is the literal worst possible scenario for me.

[pistolpetejr]

Even my Mavs 1st should get me a good piece. Big time draft.

Could get interesting after 3.

Also, after my third sim of simming prospects, my PC crashed. Took pulling the hard drive out to get draft file. Will be one of the most unknown files in recent years.

Any chance at getting some notes today to start considering picks and potential trades?

[pistolpetejr]

Thanks for getting notes up, Jabba!

So the tl;dr on this year's draft: Duncan, Kobe, TMac and Billups, and then everyone else, but even then, really deep draft!

[Oregon Ownage]

I need to review the notes ratings as they may be slightly different from the draft file. Will update tonight

IDK, don't feel like it's as deep as some drafts recently. I feel like everyone outside of the top 4 (maybe 5) won't be more than role players at best.

Where other drafts, you have some late lotto or mid draft picks end up being solid starters.

But drafts have been strong lately, so makes sense.

Different kinds of deep, I'd say this draft looks like it might have a lot of guys who can be low end starter to high end bench guys. So maybe less lotto depth (guys who can become good starters) but good depth post-lotto in terms of contributors (vs drafts that have a lot of busts or guys who take most/all of their rookie deal to become useful).

^ I’d be elated with a top 3 pick in this draft. Probably best 3rd pick ever by far IMO

If I was like 5-8, I’d say it’s the worst draft in a while for that range

[offtheheezy]

I'm getting some massive offers for #1 (Kobe) but the bias in me might be too strong

After a year of watching Westbrook in the current Lakers it makes me miss the glory days

I'm reminded of my former amazing raw #3 pick.

I hear you with #3 lol. TMac was my first basketball love. (:
