Official Draft "For the Record" 2010 Draft Thread

[europa]

Ideally, I'd like to see Hammond trade the pick for a proven starter at PF or SF. Assuming the Bucks keep the pick, here are the guys I'm most interested in:

1. Davis
2. Patterson
3a. Henry
3b. George
5. Bradley

If Hammond trades back and gets two firsts, here are the players I'd like to see him consider:

1. George (if still available)
2. Sanders
3. Anderson
4. Alabi
5. Whiteside (worth a gamble with a second first)
6. Stephenson
7. Brackins
8. Pondexter
9. Crawford
10. Lawal

guys i like who could be there when we pick (no order)

paul george-could be an ariza-esque player eventually. definately not a 2 like he thinks he is, but he is young, athletic and can shoot.

gordon hayward-i see him as a great 4th starter. think Mike Dunleavy Jr except that he can be effective offensively without the ball in his hands. athleticism concerns are overblown, as is his 3pt% dip...people forget that inside the arc he was the most efficient scorer in the country among non big men and dude is a flat out gamer

xavier henry-is gonna be similar to a prime anthony parker IMO, that kind of player is a very nice pick up at 15

ed davis-probably wouldn't be there, but has real nice potential that i couldnt pass on him if he was there.

guys i dislike

avery bradley-no point guard skills whatsoever, too small to guard 2 guards effectively so he is really limited in how he can be used/played. needs a ball dominant SG/big point guard who can check 2s next to him to even get on the floor. awful finisher despite nice athleticism. also, he doesn't draw fouls or get to the line whatsoever. yuck.

Patrick Patterson-he plays small, mediocre rebounder, not good defender, and he disappears down the stretch of games. he also couldn't win anything, not even make the tournament, until cousins and wall took over. mainly, i just dont think he'll be able to score in the pros. i know thats his supposed strength, but after watching him for the last 3 years I just don't see it. he gets blocked by the bottom of the rim on putbacks and misses bunnies. he's one of those guys you look at on paper and think, wow this guys got all the tools, but then you watch him play and you're like this is it? He's never impressive, just there. honestly, i just dont think he's a winning player.

everyone else gets a meh, whatever from me.

Top Three Guys we Have a Shot at In Order:

Epke Udoh: I think he fits really well at the power forward position for us. He can hit the midrange jumper, block shots, and face up. He's a guy who needs to work on his lower body before he becomes the defender I think he will be, but I really like his versatility.

Patrick Patterson: Much like Udoh, I think he fits very well. There are question marks that surround his defense and ability to create shots for himself, but he's athletic, he can hit the midrange jumper, and he can run the floor which is something that would do very well for Brandon Jennings.

Paul George: I think he's still very much learning how to play the game, but he's shown to be pretty versatile and he's got the physical tools to excel. I think his upside at the wing position is higher than any one else in this draft, and that includes Turner. We need athleticism on the wing and he's it. The jumpshot is a bonus.

Guys I want No Part of:

Xavier Henry: I just don't see an all around basketball player. I see a spot up shooter who will be an average to slightly above average defender. I just don't see any reason get excited about the guy. He's got an NBA ready body, but I don't think he's got any other particular skills (besides shooting) that translate to the NBA.

Hassan Whiteside: I think he's dumb as a box of rocks, and I think he thinks he's much better than he actually is which means when on the floor, I think he'll try to do too much at times which will hurt the team. In addition to that, I think a hard nosed coach like Skiles will completely break his confidence and shut him down as a player. He's a body, that's it IMO.

[Douggystyle29]

1. Patterson- I think he will be a solid starter in the NBA. I Like his adaptability. Smart, physical player. Would fit in perfectly on our team. Will be gone before 15.
2. Udoh- He would complement Bogut nicely. He would bring much needed shot blocking and rebounding. Good passer, who could play some backup center also.
3. Henry- His 3 point shooting would be a nice addition to our team. Young and plays good defense.
2nd round
1. Art Parakhouski- I think he is going to be a solid backup center for somebody with his scoring and rebounding.
2.John Scheyer-Will be a good bench player in the NBA. He will add scoring and some good outside shooting to a team.

Stay away from
1-Hayward
2-Whiteside
3-Orton
I would like to see a draft day trade with the T-wolves for Al Jefferson. (If a pf we want is not available.

[Nebula1]

I have put no time into researching the picks this year, but I watched some college ball.

I'd like Udoh for our pick range. Don't know anything about George, but he seems pretty popular on the board. Not a huge fan of Patterson, but again, I haven't done the DD.

Xavier Henry seems like Allan Houston or something. Obviously could help the team, but I'd rather see a big.

I'll just wait and see how the Draft washes out and go from there.

[Nowak008]

Love:
Davis
Babbitt- I think he is going to be a very good player for a long time.
Whiteside- Too many tools not to be at least a solid back up for many years. Skiles being the coach makes me confident

Happy
Hayward- Saw a solid starter during the tourney
Aldich- Would be a good addition to the front court.

Ok
George
Patterson
Udoh

Not happy
Bradley
Henrey
Orton

I want our team to get more athletic, but outside of Wes and Amnu I don't like any of the "upside" wings.

[Sauce Boss]

I would like to see a draft day trade with the T-wolves for Kevin Love. (If a pf we want is not available.

Fixed**

[trwi7]

2.John Scheyer-Will be a good bench player in the NBA. He will add scoring and some good outside shooting to a team.

Excuse me. That is not his name. His name is the white PG from Duke.

[milweskee]

Great: Patterson, George, Davis, Henry

Good: Udoh

So-so: Bradley, Whiteside

Best 'reach': Sanders, Orton, Seraphin

NO: Babbitt, Hayward, Anderson

[SupremeHustle]

This is a good place to put my "Whiteside will have a Ryan Leaf type meltdown before his career is over" prediction.

[Sauce Boss]

2.John Scheyer-Will be a good bench player in the NBA. He will add scoring and some good outside shooting to a team.

Excuse me. That is not his name. His name is the white PG from Duke.

[Douggystyle29]

Not gonna lie, I think Love would be better to get. I just think we got a better shot at Jefferson. Yah and oops, the white PG from Duke LOL.

[MikeIsGood]

I want Paul George. I'd like to see someone like Ed Davis or Ekpe Udoh fall, but I don't think it's going to happen. If they did, I prefer Davis to Udoh but like both.
