I don't even know what that means.

I'm not hating on Wolters. I'm sure he'll be a prospect. I was just happy with Ledo and got home to this garbage.

Great Wolters, who has precisely zero chance at ever being a starter and probably won't last 3 years in the League. ****.

People on this board amaze me. A second round pick has no chance to be an NBA starter? Preposterous!

He has a very good chance to be a good rotational player. For a second round pick, that's good.

Nebs' personal hell would be watching guys with sub 25' verticals play basketball against each other. Whether they're good players or not.

Sounds suspiciously like the WNBA

Top 10 talent he may always be but that doesn't mean he is top 10 production. Perry Jones was top 10 'talent' too and scored 2 ppg last year.

What they mean by top 10 talent is he has the physical talent. So do a lot of guys. Many of them don't figure it out if they slip to round 2. Every year this board goes crazy about us not getting some hotshot in the 2nd round and that hotshot never pans out. Yawn.

I remember a few years ago I was pissed we didn't take Lance Stephenson, instead we drafted Darington Hobson and Tiny Gallon. Wolters def seems better than those two...

That was also the year we all freaked out because we drafted and traded away Jerome Jordan

Jerome Jordan now plays for the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters

OMG thats a real team

They were both 2nd round picks. Wolters was the 8th pick of the 2nd round and Ledo was the 13th. We wouldn't be complaining about giving up next year's 2nd round pick and Ledo, if Wolters was a 1st round pick.

It's a matter of personal preference, I liked picking (2) "Swing for the Fences" picks!

Yes, Wolters is the safer pick to make it as a backup.

Just got in and I love this pick too, didn't think Hammond had it in him. Our offense is going to be fun to watch. The fantasy basketball fan in me wanted Ledo but he's prolly a locker room pain in the ass. I like Wolters instantly in this draft but I assumed he'd go to Portland. I bet we play him some at SG next to Devin Harris. Hell lets sign Seth Curry, Vander, Elliot Williams, and DJ Stephens and roll.

I'm not saying you're basketball prejudice, but you have a very distinct preference. Most notably the Brandon Jennings/Nick Young type players.

I don't know what that means either. I'm not totally stats-focused if that's what you mean. In this case, I would have preferred Ledo to Wolters. Nothing against Wolters.

It was disappointing to not have Ledo when I got back. It has nothing to do with my player preference. I hope Wolters is the REAL.

All you guys screaming about 8th seed and mediocrity..... We just traded penny hardaway for ridnour enjoy... And guess what... Now instead of paying a backup pg 3-4m a year. , we are gonna give jr smith 8-9m to fill The SG role that Ledo could have filled for 800k ... ledo had pg skills as well so could have also been a combo guard.

I'll have to go back and check if these are the same guys that wanted Alexander over Brook Lopez!

Ledo is just as likely to be a cancerous lout that's out of the league in 2 years as he is to be the wonderscorer that some hope.

2nd round picks are dicey.

I am okay with Wolters. He is an interesting player, tons of experience running the show, and could carve out a decade career as one of the more solid back up points in the league. Or he could be too slow for the game and go ball in Europe til he's 40.

I'm cool with it. If he can shoot it as well as he did in college we got a hell of a lot of value out of our 2nd rounder. Anything more than Hobson/Gallon/etc. and we're in solid shape.

I REALLY wanted FRANKLIN! though. If we would've grabbed Franklin...I love that guy's potential, at worst he's a super long pesky defender at the 2 guard. He's in a good spot to learn from Tony Allen.

If we lose Jennings we might not score 75 a game. Ersan will be our leading scorer with Henson being a distant 2nd. Ledo is a more athletic Marshon Brooks, With a better handle as well. He and Shabaaz are probably the 2 best scorers in this draft.

I'm still praying that we just sent the 2014 2nd for Wolters and we still have Ledo ... Please God

Calling someone a 'more athletic Marshon Brooks' is a horrible insult, is that it was intended to be?

Marshon brooks would be the bucks leading scorer next year if he started, as would ledo. You guys are gonna miss Jennings's and Ellis next year when we have 10 point quarters every game, and score less than 70 a dozen times. Course all parts of the tank thing I guess.

paul · Post #175 » by **paul** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 6:44 am

Marshon Brooks is a horrendous NBA player who destroys his team, I couldn't care less how much he scores.

I don't know anything about Ledo so I don't know if the comparison is accurate or not, but if it is I'm thanking the lord John Hammond for not keeping him.

Lucky for us Marshon is almost definitely still available

Marshon Brooks would aid a tank more then hurt it.

JR Smith is not gonna want to play in Milwaukee, lol.
