Matt's 2035 Draft Lotto Recap

[mattfaria12]

Didn’t pay attention much to the draft since im still learning this league but here is my opinions on the draft. Will do 14-29 later.

Pick 1 - Minnesota Timberwolves
Cliff Hagan

I really like this pick. Cliff looks like he can turn into a nice all around player. He’s comes in the league with what looks like to me good scoring. Twolves are stacked at the small forward position so not sure whats going on their. Good pick. Should turn into a really nice player.

Pick 2 - Atlanta Hawks
Ray Felix

Interesting pick. He’s one of the older players in this draft. Maybe they see something in him? I think there was better picks avail but like i said maybe the Hawks see something in Felix. Felix comes into the league as a good scorer and rebounder. Hopefully his potential is high.

Pick 3 - Portland Trailblazers
Frank Ramsey

Solid pick for the Blazers. Ramsey fills a need at the shooting guard position. To be honest im not sure how good Ramsey will be but he may have really good potential. Ramsey comes into the league as a good scorer. Need to develop his defence though.

Pick 4 - Indiana Pacers
Ernie Beck

Another decent pick. But Ernie does look like a player you can get at a later pick to be honest. Hopefully he has good potential. Beck comes into the league as a good shooter. Everything else is below average. Will need some camping and a solid training camp to get better.

Pick 5 - Seattle Super Sonics
Walter Dukes

Walter is a player the Sonics were looking at with this pick. He’s on the older side but comes into the league as one of the ready players. He can score, defend and rebound. Everything the Sonics are looking in a big. But, he may not have high potential.

Pick 6 - Cleveland Cavs
Bob Houbregs

I like this pick. Bob is a very interesting player to be honest. Cavs now have a logjam at small forward now though. But back to Bob. Bob looks to be a decent shooter coming into the league. But what i like most about him is that he defends and rebounds. Very solid pick for the Cavs.

Pick 7 - Chicago Bulls
Kenny Sears

Another pick i really like. The Bulls did a nice job here. Sears is a raw player and only 20 years old. He is a decent inside scorer but needs to work on the shooting. Sears is already a good defender and rebounds well to. I like this guy. Looks like he can be a really nice player if everything works out.

Pick 8 - Los Angeles Lakers
Eddie Solomon

Not sure about this pick here. Solomon does not look all that to me. Maybe im missing something? There definitely was better players avail. But anyways. Solid defender. But that's about it. We’ll see what happens.

Pick 9 - Houston Rockets
Nield Gordon

Decent pick. The guy is 19 though that's nice. Comes into the league as a defender. Looks to me to develop into a good role player. Does not have much competition at his position on the roster. Should get playing time to develop.

Pick 10 - Atlanta Hawks
Zippy Morocco

Nice player for sure. On the older side of the draft though at 23 years old. Should be a decent player for the Hawks off the bench. Maybe more? I doubt he goes up a lot in training camp but i could be wrong. Needs to work on that defence and handling.

Pick 11 - Dallas Mavericks
Bob Santini

Very very raw player. Mavs take a chance that this guy blows up. Nice. I like it. The guy is only 18 years old. Solid pick at the 11th spot in the draft. Has a bit of scoring and rebounding. Needs to seriously work on his defence though.

Pick 12 - Minnesota Timberwolves
Jack George

This is an ok pick. Nothing glamorous about it. I think there could of been better players available. But, George comes into the league as a solid all around player. Needs some serious developing though. Hopefully it works out for the Wolves.

Pick 13 - Minnesota Timberwolves
Billy Kenville

Better pick. I like this one better than the Jack George one. Kenville has potential to be a nice scorer. If Wolves can work on his defence that this guy will be nice. A little on the older side though but not that big a deal.

Edit your post. Go to BB code tab next to preview and look near the image url. There's a part that says max_width 100%. Change that number to something smaller. It'll decrease the size of the image.

His notes were amazing, basically elite all the things you want

[Stevie B]

Lold at the Solomon write up as well

[Stevie B]

Thought he should’ve went higher, too

[Brophdog88]

Elite inside, handles, mid, post defense and stocks.

[Brophdog88]

I took four flyers, one of the four has to explode right....right?

FBB pls bump to 100 potential

[nybombers3]

I would've easily taken Solomon top 5 tbh

[2 years left]

I salute his stand against gimmick players

[nybombers3]

All I draft is busts though so what do I know

[2 years left]

No 3pt, low strength, what’s his position

[Brophdog88]

Strength isnt that big with Inside, elite stocks are the bigger deal;

[2 years left]

who was that scrub PG early on

[2 years left]

that everybody hyped over stocks

[2 years left]

he looks like him but at SF/PF

[2 years left]

had to erase his name from my memory to stop the nightmares

[Brophdog88]
