Rubio/Ridnour/Barea
Oladipo/Shved/
Kirilenko/Budinger/
Love/Williams/Cunningham
Pekovic/Stiemsma

I think we need to target a defensive-oriented C with our Memphis pick: Dieng, Withey.

Rubio,Oladipo and AK47 are a terrible fit together offensively though as none of them can hit a jump shot.

Put a man on Love and pack the paint with the other defenders and we would be screwed.

think of the D dammit. They'll be packing the paint on us and we'll be extending the D to 25 feet on them and they will be helpless to stop it. And the transition offense would be bonkers. If there are equal talents who are better fits, great, but if the alternative is "well, this guy isn't as athletic as Oladipo, and hes not as good a defender, or rebounder, and not as good in transition, but he's a great shooter..." Then go w/ the superior talent.

The only shooting guard I take over Oladipo is McLemore. I'm not a fan of Shabazz, I just don't see what the fascination with him is.

McLemore, Noel, Austin, Oladipo, Len, Porter. Those are my guys.

I wish swearing wasn't filtered. Oladipo can't shoot. Yet he hits 48% of 3s this year and 67.6% of 2s, leads the Big 10 and is 4th in the country in TS%, 2nd in the country in eFG% (as a guard nevertheless). I'm sorry but you don't hit 24 out of 50 threes in games in you "can't shoot."

I think I might take Cauley-Stein over anyone in the draft not named Noel. If his stock hasn't risen to that point yet, I think it's just a matter of time.

I've been on the bandwagon for quite sometime. Perfect C for us. He has the tools to become a Tyson Chandler.

Yeah, i see the Chandler comp too. Guy runs the floor like a deer and is an aggressive shot blocker.

Wouldn't be opposed but Oladipo, McLemore and Noel better be gone by then.

I saw Gary Harris (Michigan St) and Chad Ford's big board. Anyone see him play? He puts up solid numbers and his write up includes athletic, defender, shooter at the 2, which meshes with our need.

I thought everyone wanted to get away from the 2 PG lineups?

Smart is 6'4, strong as a bull and very physical. PG is just a label.

And Adelman still wants his two ballhandlers on the floor at all times.

Rubio and Smart >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ridnour and Barea.

All of a sudden Otto Porter is a 3 point marksman, this guy has to be on our radar too

He seems like a bradly beal type of player. 6'3-64 pretty buff tho. He plays pretty smart and can shoot well.

He seems like a good fit but i dont know if we are trying to devolop a 19 year old kid unless he is a mcelmore,shabazz,noel type talent.

Right now our guard rotation consists of Rubio, Barea, Ridnour and Shved.

One of them is a midget and the other three are in the top-10 of the weakest players in the NBA.

Wolves need some physicality in their backcourt stat.

Also please lift some weights.
