Shrug. I think he has a bit of talent, he's just not nearly good enough to justify his attitude concerns.

60 players I that I think could end up being better than him may be a bit much, but I'm with you on not wanting him. I don't think he gets it unless he either ends up on a decent team with a vet presence, until he bounces around some or gets humbled, or ends up with Nelson (the last of which resulting in him becoming untouchable on the trade board). I'm not sure it would be worth the trouble for a team like the Wolves.

Accurate statement though.

It's not like he doesn't have talent and he's only young.

What are his talents? He reminds me of a 36 year old Ruben Patterson.

Chad Ford Mock --

2. Turner
16. Hayward
23. Seraphin

I don't have an insider passwrod so I can't see who we're passing on, but i still think that's too high for Hayward.

Why would we watch a 6'9 "center"...some dude on the mock draft forum had us taking Seraphin as well. Just stupidity.

I don't know, he sort of looks like a poor mans Favors

Post #169 » by **C.lupus** » Thu May 6, 2010 6:26 pm

Yeah, I wouldn't want him as a center, but as a backup PF? Sure, why not.

Why does Chad Ford have two mock drafts? It's basically the same thing, but he swapped 7 and 8. It's not really his first mock draft since he did it before, but whatever. I'm probably the biggest Orton homer here, but I'm a bit surprised Orton's moved up the rankings so quickly. I won't commit to anything until I see some workouts and more scouting reports, but I think I would draft him at #16.

me too, but if we get Turner I'll give them a free pass for doing something weird w/ the other picks. At least until the guy that got picked 3 picks later turns into a stud, then I'll be pissed

Seraphin is very athletic and actually talented. Think another Serge Ibaka.

It'd be nice to just get a freak of an athlete that's like 6'10~ with arms that hang to his knees. Kg was that, we have no athleticism on our team. Of course Ebi was also like that and well....

I wouldn't hate it, but if we get Turner it would probably be better to go with a big at #16, since there are so many solid SF prospects that should still be available at #23, but the pickings for the type of big we should be looking for get slimmer.

If we did go SF at #16, I kind of hope they'd go with Babbitt. Guy can fill it up, and actually knows something about shot selection. Plus, he almost played with Turner at Ohio State but changed his mind after verbally committing and decided to stay closer to home. So, bonus points for that and for being left-handed.

Cousins = Derrick Coleman

Valid?

Talent-wise, it's probably pretty close. Athleticism, Coleman had a pretty significant edge. Crazy/lazy-wise they are likely neck and neck.
