Why dont you like Dragic? Its because he's a euro isn't it?
Why would I dislike Euros?
Thinking about it I actually may not be all that big on Euros, but my dislike for Dragic goes beyond him being a dirty Slovenian. (

To be honest I haven't really made my mind up about Dragic and this Jimmer talk was just nonsense. I don't know how he'd fit in either. I was just mad we lost the game.
I'm the last guy that wants to tank and I'm still hopeful we make the playoffs.
That said, you gotta be realistic and look ahead. We won't do anything without a good center. I love Chuck, but we all know he's a backup on a championship team. I woudn't mind trading Scola for a high pick, so we can draft somebody like Jonas Valanciunas. He's one of the few Euros that,
from what very little I've seen, I do like and I'd be more than comfortable with Patterson starting.
As for Jimmer the prospect, I simply like the guy. He's a joy to watch and even though you gotta question how his game is going to translate to the NBA due his lack of athleticism/explosion and foot speed, I'd probably still take him over those other guys I see floating around in all the mock drafts. Granted I haven't watched all these guys and I don't watch all that much College basketball in general, but so far no other prospect I've watched has impressed me in the slightest.
EDIT: Just watched another Valanciunas game. Dude is still very raw. Needs to eat more meat and hit the weight room badly. Sets illegal screens on every possesion. Looks a bit a off balance moving, but he's pretty active, keeps the ball high and got good size. Would get abused in the NBA as of right now, as he's simply too weak. In an average draft this guy probably goes no higher than #10. Enes Kanter is probably twice as ready, but I'm not convinced he's a pure center.
I really want a center tho

. Preferably a big black guy.
