2013 Draft Targets (#9, #26, #52, #59)

[[RCG]]

I'd be fine with any of: McLemore, Shabazz, Noel. Any of those guys would fill a huge need. Lets hope that Zeller, Len, Porter, Austin all have huge 2nd halves!

if my boy steven adams was likely to declare this year he'd be a great fit but i can't see him declaring, gonna be a hell of a defensive player imo...great size, length, athletics with a good motor, his ability to switch on the pick n roll, contain guards and get back is outstanding. he's best served spending another year or two at pitt so i hope he doesn't rush it.

[The J Rocka]

Well, at least we can look forward to the draft.

These losses to the Wizards and Bobcats are very valuable. McLemore, Noel. I'm not sold on Shabazz, but I haven't watched him so I gotta see watch him before I judge him.

[AQuintus]

Well, at least we can look forward to the draft.

Yep, at least until the draft lottery, where we'll be projected at the 10th pick and somehow end up with the 25th.

I really don't like all the negative attention Shabazz gets from the media, that's for sure. I'd take Noel & McLemore ahead of him but if we're sitting at 3, I think we have to take him.

The way we're playing now, I don't see how we will be stuck at 10. We have more than half the season left with many guys gassed out already (or close to) and with Love & Budinger possibly coming back in March rusty, I'd highly expect a top 5 pick.

We need a SG and/or big and this draft has them.

With the way the team is failing at every other aspect of basketball right now, I have zero doubts that they'll find a way to fail at tanking, too.

I love Marcus Smart.

We would need to move both Ridnour and Barea to really make space for him but see him as a genuine NBA star in the future.

Pesky defender, especially with his steals, but he likes to play a bit wild while turning the ball over and seems to force a lot of his shots. Kind of like JJ, he has his ups & downs. "YES YES YES!! NO NO NO WTF!!"

[The J Rocka]

We definitely need to stay away from MCW. I've seen enough out of him. Throw out the ideas of his PG/SG position fitting with Shved.

I didn't know anyone liked MCW. He'd be a horrible fit. We have what he brings except better in Rubio.

To rubes that don't watch college games and see 6-6 guard ranked in top 10 in mock drafts should be aware. For people who pay attention like you or I, it's obvious.

[Klomp]

Otto Porter would be a nice understudy for Kirilenko.

And you know why it's obvious? He plays for Syracuse.

EDIT: Woah, DX has him at 8?!

[NikolaPekovic]

Shabazz is the best fit due to the fact he can play the 2 and 3. he can possibly start at the 2 then slide up when shved comes in for the end of games.
