Anyways, I think we can have the best front court in the NBA with him Maker, and Giannis in a couple of years, and the pot sweetens even more if Jabari comes back even semi healthy. I think his floor maybe TT but his ceiling would be approaching Dwight Howard but a better free throw shooter. I have flip flopped on Mitchell again and do not want.

I am really coming around on Bam now. I was under the impression that he was totally one dimensional but after doing a little more research, I see some flashes of offensive potential in him as well. He has decent form on his jumper and his ball handling skills appear to be much more advanced than I expected. I too believe that he, Thon, and Giannis could be an extremely formidable front court. I would much prefer Bam to Ike. I just don't see it with Ike. I especially like the fact that Bam performed well for 30 minutes a game compared to Ike only playing 13.

I'd pretty much be happy with anyone other than Leaf or Ferguson.

Do not want Giles, but it's happening. The Schwartz connection ensures it.

Unskilled, nonproductive, injury prone, limited center for the modern NBA. What could go wrong?

Bucks gunna Buck.

Meh if they're seeing Giles' explosiveness returning in workouts, from a talent perspective it's not a bad pick. The re-injury concerns are what scare the hell out of me.

That's basically my wet dream scenario.

Giles would have me at the same place as when we drafted Thon last year. Disappointingly intrigued.

Do DM's work? I need to be on a text-relationship with one of you by Thursday. I'll be over the Atlantic while the Bucks are making their picks. Someone here if gonna have to keep me updated over the next month.

Haha same. My flight leaves an hour before the draft starts and based on their website, it doesn't sound like they offer wifi. I'm hoping they offer wifi but I just need to pay for it because I totally will to be able to follow along with the draft.

I'll just take Jordan Bell with the agility, explosiveness, feel for the game, work ethic, etc...

He could be like young Blake with the right creators around him.

Holy **** I forgot De Paula existed

De Paula would be intriguing but Hart Evans, bacon or Dotson would be safer bets on a guard in the 2nd

Too be fair, I don't think there is something as a "safe 2nd round pick" since most of them bust.

Seeing De Paula pop up in DX's mock all of a sudden is interesting. Unless I missed it, I didn't see him in their mock until now. DX hasn't even updated his profile for 2 years. Givony must've heard something.

And I really hope we stay away from Giles. I guess I'm just way to gun shy because of what we've dealt with with Jabari.

DraftExpress has Frank N all the way down to 14... What could we potentially give up to move 3-5 spots?

He had been inserted into the draft at #60 a few days ago I believe but yeah, jumping up to 48 is a pretty big jump. I agree it probably means something.
