The mock drafts are useless right now, until private workouts an ddraft camps start. The mocks are basically to show who is on the radar, and the rank of hotness as of now.

Once the lottery happens, then we should pay more attention to the mock drafts, and especially after the private workouts and draft camps start.

Basically, if we get the 5th-7th pick which looks very likely, i dont think were going to get anyone that is really going to make an impact with us, which is why id be much rather for trading up or down.

If we luck out and get 1-4, then i think we are set, as we will be able to pick from beasely/mayo/rose.

He's only the best player (efficiency wise) in a tough professional league like the Italian League (2nd in Europe after Spanish)... at the age of 19 as the go-to-guy of the team... if it's not enough to be a Top 5 pick i don't know what to say...

p.s.= college players are garbage compared to him... they may have great athletic abilities (as usual) but you won't find around a player with natural feel for the game and BB IQ like Danilo...

I'd start him over Shipp or MBah A Moute for the Bruins...Ganillari isn't a Nikoloz Tskitashvilli or a Yaroslav Korolev, the kid is a baller and will have a solid pro player. Now, if they would have Batum at #6, that'd be a different story since he's based off of potential.

Now would I take him? No, our front court is set with Thornton/Brand/Kaman, pending we extend Brand or he doesn't opt out. But if position didn't matter, I'd take him over all those you mentioned except Arthur and Gordon.

Is that not what they said about Barganini? How has the worked out for the Raptors? All that experience in a so called tough professional league has translated to disappointment in the NBA

No. Bargnani was just a 6th man (he only played the playoff as starter) and the 3rd/4th offensive option of his team... Gallinari on the other hand is clearly the go-to-guy of Armani Milano, a team fighting for the Italian Playoff (currently in 6th position overall). And he's leading the italian league in efficiency (he's also 6th in scoring and 2nd in fouls drawn), an unusual thing for a 1988 born player... the kid is not a project like Bargnani, he's already a baller.

p.s.= i wouldn't give up on Bargnani yet...

assuming we don't luck into a top 2 pick, we would be picking from the likes of mayo, bayless, westbrook, gordon....if we misso ut on mayo and or gordon, we should trade down and try to snatch up arthur....really impressed by his overall game and athleticism...

and no, i don't care what you say about danilo....looks like korolev, or at best luke walton...

Based on what? Short clips?!?

PLEASE, if you haven't seen a single game by Danilo don't judge him basing on youtube videos or mixes... at least be honest to admit you don't like him because he's Euro, White and not Athletic like the typical USA SF...

p.s.= Korolev simply didn't play AT ALL in Europe... he had something like 1-2 MPG while Danilo plays around 35 MPG... and Luke Walton hasn't the offensive skills of Gallinari, period.

HB

Can you blame him for saying that though? After all they did waste a lottery pick on Korolev, they don't want to make that same mistake again. If the Clippers havent scouted Danillo extensively, then its wise they dont make a mistake with such a high pick

But Dunleavy said he had scouted Korolev extensively. See, the difference between Yarik and Danilo is the fact that we could have gotten Korolev in the 2nd round, while Danilo might not even fall out of the lottery.
