It is still just one game, I am not willing to write him off just yet.

It's not just one game for me. This is like the 3rd time I watched him shy away and play hot potato in a close game.

noel still top on my board, even with the knee injury because nobody else has really impressed me enough to make me not wait 6 months on noel to get healthy. after that throw a blanket over the guards: mclemore, shabazz, smart and oladipo and the other bigs and zeller, bennett and len. not much separation in that top 8 for me.

Looking like nothing neat happening on the trade front today and a weak draft coming up. The 2014 draft can't get here soon enough :-/

Watching Alex Len and he isn't as big of a stiff as I originally thought. He can really run the floor.

How high would you pick Noel if he dropped to us?

I wouldn't take him with the top 2 picks but I'd probably gamble on him at 3.

Run the floor Aldridge good?

Mullens is an idiot.

Does Mully have a girlfriend? If he does, every bad game he has, his GF should tell him, "no BJ for you".

Uh, he runs the floor Marcin Gortat good. :dontknow:

I like Len, I just don't like him enough to draft high in the lottery.

if noel is good enough to draft 3rd, he's gotta be good enough to draft 1st if you believe in his talent, right? what am i missing?

Ahhhhhhhhh. I see. Thanks Bro.

It's just that whenever I see someone suggesting a big running the floor really well I automatically think of Aldridge at Texas because that was the thing about his game that really stood out to me so he became the yard stick.

Funny thing is that Texas never really took full advantage of it because they had that tool Gibson "running" the point and icing Aldridge every other time down the court (even though he beat everyone up and down - guards included) because all Gibson wanted to do was fire his own three ball shots off.

I hope we land the #1 pick and trade down. This draft is so depressing.

Eoghan · Post #1353 » by **Eoghan** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 3:54 am

Poythress looks so much better as a stretch 4 ever since Noel went down. He and WCS are raising their stock considerably this game. Even Goodwin is knocking down 3's.

MasterIchiro · Post #1354 » by **MasterIchiro** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 3:57 am

Minnesota fans seem to be salivating at the thought of pairing Rubio with McLemore. T-wolves were offering 1st rounders for established wings at the deadline so they probably don't think much about their draft slot either.

I want to trade out of this draft altogether so we can land us something nice in 2014. I'd rather have a top 5 pick in next year's draft than the best pick in this one. Or let's grab us an established young stud.
