1988 Draft Discussion

[Oregon Ownage]

Who will the Hornets take #1?

Is there not an overall preranking list of all positions intermixed or is that to be determined in the eye of the beholder?

Yep, eye of the beholder. Draft is a crapshoot at times just like real life lol. Looking at the notes within each of the prospect position threads helps to parse it out.

Reach out to a vet if you want some assistance.

Sorry been crazy busy at work, I should be able to take a look at the notes and pick before 4

interesting nobody wants to speculate on my pick

^ I think there’s 2-3 guys I would consider. Not sure there’s a huge distinction between the top 2, probably just depends on what type of offense you want to run

[dd10snoop28]

Richmond/Manning/Smits/Seikaly look like the contenders for top pick.

I'd guess u go for either Manning or Smits since hopsson already at SG

Yep, I was down to Richmond/Smits/Seikaly...

Felt like Richmond or Smits were the best bets to have both #1 player ceiling and high floors. Hopson wasn't a factor in himself, but I have him and Lewis as SG/SFs with lots of potential on long deals, plus I'll likely throw a max at Jordan and I think I can find scoring guards if I whiff. Smits should drastically improve my D, and defensive bigs have been a major factor in recent years in DASL.

You can tell it's messy at the top because I didn't get a single trade-up offer. I thought someone might fall in love with Richmond as the clear #1 perimter player, but didn't happen.

[dd10snoop28]

ya, even if Smits doesn't meet his potential, at the least u get a really good defender.

[Craig]

Never thought I'd associate Smits with high level defense and (especially) rebounding lol

[offtheheezy]

His college stats were a pretty impressive almost ~4 blocks a game with decent rebounding. Maybe the reports are misleading

[Bestfoods]

I’m considering moving up. Pick 10 & 11 are up for the top picks.
My apologies if this is the wrong thread? Should it go into trade discussions?

I'd post a thread in trade discussions with the picks in the title personally, people are more likely to see it than a post in this thread.

I would also reach out to the individuals, to see if they were interested in a potential trade. It can get the ball rolling faster

Top 10 in the league in blocks his first two years, top 16 in BLK% his first 4 years. He could definitely block shots.
