He is not a bad PG. His numbers when healthy are very good. From a scoring, assists and rebounding. Quit dissing on him. If anything he would improve if he had Mayo shooting the jumper instead of Jaric missing them.

Foye is in his pure form as an attack guard. He can bring the ball up the court. He can find the open man, he can hit the jumper, he is very good at creating his own shot and getting inside. What he struggles with is creating shots for others. So he needs others to get open, etc. I have no problem with this type of pg when we are a team focused on post-up scoring.

Hey, Thanks for the ATTACK bit Horaceworthy. That kid really has a motor in him...Jordon was alot like that also. This dude could be the best pick in this draft or bust. Rose I belive is way over hyped and is going to be a project, he should of had many more assists with a talented team. Beasley falling to the Timberwolves is prolly very unlikely.

I like Foye way more at PG, he looks way more comfortable to me when he has the ball and can control spacing. He's not a Chris Paul where he's going to run the baseline and make a bunch of nice dishes through tight spaces and alley oops from 28 feet, but he can be a Chauncey and get the ball to the right spots and know the offense. I don't think Chauncey is a flashy PG, but he can shoot the lights out and he knows the game well and plays good defense. Foye is following that path, I have high confidence in him as a PG.

His biggest hurdle right now is conditioning, he need to come in next year looking like a new person ala Deron Williams after his rookie season. It'll help him play at a high level for 40 minutes and improve his defense.

Foye and Billups are similar. Well there are some decisions to be made. One thing to note is McHale has done an incredible job in a year to turn Timberwolves around to looking healthy shedding Blount, Davis, Hassell, that point gaurd they shipped to Houston that hasnt done anything there. Now he is sitting with a nice expiring a high pick.

just wondering, what would you like the starting 5 to look like next year? Haven't heard much from you lately, you must be a busy bee

Just ideas here, What will you like to see bro?

Noah ---- Lopez ------ Bogat
Aj
Randolph
Brewer
Foye -------- maybe mayo, trade foye ------ Hinrich

Thats prolly the tallest team in the Nba.
Randolph is going to be a project.
3rd pick will net more then Noah & Randolph
Another thing Timberwolves might be healthy enough to go for it this year, I didnt think McHale could clear up the mess he had so quickly.
Bulls keep Hinrich if Beasley is there selection.
Not alot of scoring power there either.

I dunno Rev, poster is a Bull looking to find the value of #3. I would do #3 the expiring for Noah & Hinrich.
There are a lot of ways to go (overwhelming)
Kinda of topic, can Love play SF? If he can that would have to be an option taking a player and a lower pick.
There was chatter from Bucks....Bogat, Well if that had any wieght and Love plays SF, #3 the expiring for Bogat and say select Love. I dont know that any of these ideas could or would fly but Im sure you have some as well. Care to share what you would do knowing what you know right now?

Love is hardly athletic enough to defend faster 4's. There is no chance he is a 3.

Gallinari is the top, if not only SF in the top 10. I would make the argument that I like Gomes better than the SF's in this draft.
