  Joffrey Lauvergne to Memphis first at 55.

  C.J. Leslie was once projected as a top 5 pick...
  
  I'm shocked James Southerland and Kenny Kadji are still there. 6'9 guys who are 3-point shooters aren't easy to find.

  He could pan out to be decent or he will never play lol

  Kg is gettin surgery on both knees this off season isn't he? Idk if I trust hoe good he's gonna come back. Pierce and Wallace are a wash IMO Wallace being better on D and rebounding with pierce taking the offensive edge.
  
  Williams has been a serious disappointment in Brooklyn and has had a few years of stats dropping. Hell last year he was under 40% from the field. Johnson startedast year to pick it up but nowhere near as productive as they envisioned him when they Signed him for that ungodly amount of money. I guess I'm just very skeptical as to how they will all mesh together right away to become contenders in the east

  There goes Thomas, at 58

  CJ Leslie and Lorenzo Brown both still on the board from NC State. Kabongo and Adonis Thomas, too.

  
  He can score from all over and crashes the boards. He was the only scorer for Ohio State last year(Ross not counting due to small minutes) and still did well. He was at his best with Sully there which is more how he'll be in the NBA. I just don't get why someone doesn't take a flyer on him, he can score in so many ways. Kawhi Leonard is a guy I would compare him to in that if he's a top 2-3 player on your team he's not so good, but if he's your 5th or 6th best player he'll be a stud. Might not be the best example but comparable roles.

  Spurs.
  
  He'll be fine. Good fit. Pop will get him to play hard on D.

  I would take Trevor Mbakwe in a heartbeat, that dude is a MAN and a monster on the glass, no way he can't make a rotation.
• wildcats20

  

  Janis Timmas taken 60th
  
  Bojan Dubljevic taken 59th
  
  
  
  Lol at me
• Terry_Tate

  

  D Thomas to the Spurs! Hell yes. And now my Leonard comparison looks pretty funny.
• gorocks99

  

  Bojan Dubljevic at 59, Janis Timmas at 60, good night everyone

  I didn't know KG was getting surgeries but he still will be productive on both ends. Gerald Wallace was a liability on offense a lot of time, they would just give him open jumpers and he couldn't make anything. Pierce can become more of a spot up shooter on that team probably, definitely won't have to carry the load he did in Boston. Joe Johnson should rebound as well, I don't think he's done by any means.

  How does he compare to Leonard?
• wildcats20

  

  Some teams are gonna get some nice pieces in the summer.
  
  CJ Leslie especially.
• robj55

  

  Thomas is an NBA player, hopefully he can find a niche with the Spurs. He can score at that level no doubt though.

  Would love the Pacers to take a look at Leslie and BJ Young.

  But can he defend? Pop won't even give him a chance to "score at will" if he can't show him first he can defend.
