Operation Beast: Prospect Thread II

[Krapinsky]

Quick question: Has Hobson worked out for the team yet?

Just at the initial group workout

[Krapinsky]

I have a hunch that Hobson is a Ronzone guy. He seems to like versatile players as well as small school diamond in the rough types.

Torrence too.....

Maybe that's the point of the 16 for 25 and 28. Hobson at 25 and Torrance at 28.

Although you'd think they might have tried to bring Hobson in and Torrance only got a brief mention in the talk with Ronzone.

This is the saddest thing I have ever seen! Hornets coach Monty Williams shutting down Udoh time and time again.

The Hornets want a banger. Aldrich could be their guy. (I hope so)

ROFL at that video.

No, it was good. He's a legitimate candidate for the 45.

Udoh really sucked.

[Devilzsidewalk]

doesn't take away his defensive potential, also don't forget the Jim Peterson/Brook Lopez lore

Its Darington Hobson I hear. RT @Jpdabrams: RT @FisolaNYDN: Sounds more & more like Knicks will buy 1st rd pick if player they want is there

I think that might crush me even more than if the Wolves take WJ at #4.

If they want him they'll take him at 23 and I don't think New York will be buying a pick higher then that. Doesn't look like they like him though

[horaceworthy]

I'm referring to him ending up on the Knicks. Blech.

Also tough to tell that the Wolves don't like him, he was part of one of their first workouts.

[shangrila]

Do you mean the huge workout weeks ago?

I was wondering whether they liked him myself a little while ago, but I figured they didn't since they didn't bother to bring him in for a smaller workout IIRC.

Final draft board

1. John Wall
2. Evan Turner
3. Derrick Favors
4. DeMarcus Cousins
5. Wesley Johnson
6. Ed Davis
7. Paul George
8. Xavier Henry
9. Al Farouq Aminu
10. Cole Aldrich
11. Greg Monroe
12. Luke Babbitt
13. Ekpe Udoh
14. Patrick Patterson
15. Hassan Whiteside
16. Larry Sanders
17. Avery Bradley
18. James Anderson
19. Kevin Seraphin
20. Damion James
21. Gordon Hayward
22. Jordan Crawford
23. Solomon Alabi
24. Dominique Jones
25. Stanley Robinson
26. Daniel Orton
27. Elliot Williams
28. Quincy Pondexter
29. Jarvis Varnado
30. Brian Zoubek

Cousins and Johnson are basically 4a and 4b. Cousins gets the nod though because he's younger. If we can't get a good deal for Big Al, then draft Johnson. If Favors is there, then you draft him regardless of Big Al's situation.

Post your business in the +/- thread, prizes and winnings galore! (actually just bragging rights, but still fun!)

[Klomp]

Well we didn't get the Beast, so time to unsticky.

[Klomp]

When do we start Operation Harrison Barnes?

[shangrila]

I was shocked Miami took Pittman so high but I think they got a nice bunch of guys that'd do well playing off the stars that Miami is aiming to sign.

As for Barnes, I wouldn't. First it was Cousins and they soured on him so you changed it to Pittman and they missed him completely. Try Jeremy Tyler instead for some reverse psychology on karma.
