This guy is crazy.

Probably, but not because I love Valentine. A smart franchise will draft him and put him in the right system, and everyone will wonder how in the hell they missed on him.

1. Sorry, you were OBSESSED.
2. Since when is accuracy required on the internet?

That all changed when I saw Towns' draft workout video. I still liked Okafor, but no way would I have taken him over Towns after seeing that.

I'm just giving you crap. I know you fully jumped on the Towns bandwagon after he won the March Rookie Of The Month Award. :wink:

Hi there from a french homer !

Since lots of people tend to see KAT as a center in the future, what do you guys think about taking a shot at Yabusele with a 2nd round draft pick ? He's an undersized (but with a huge wingspan) PF, built like a truck, with a decent outside shot. To me, he'd bring strenght, defensive potential and toughness to your team, while being able to play in a fast paced offense. Not the biggest potential of the draft, but could become a really nice role player in a team like yours. Especially if you get Thibs, who would be able to use his defensive potential.

Seems similar to Greg Smith. I'd be OK drafting him and letting him compete for a job.

Sounds like next Millsap/D.Green. Do we have early 2nd round pick?

Well I don't know much about him, but gotta take a step back and really assess his situation. On film hes pretty good but the competition is far less of the NBA. So you might think he's superior to Greg Smith because he looks like a milsap/green...Put Greg Smith in his situation and perhaps his numbers are even better. Either way just saying I'd still be OK drafting him if it's the type of player we are looking for. We know what Greg Smith is so wouldn't hurt to see what he could become, but gotta temper expectations. Not even goldenstate new who they had in green so who knows. I agree we need some dirty work player on good contracts.

Well, to be honest, 100% of the players going in the draft are currently player a competition that is not NBA level ! But yeah I think all of you got the idea, there's a 0.01% possibility that he's Draymond Green 2.0 so that's not what you draft him for, but he's a guy who at the bare minimum would play hard on defense and hit the occasional mid-range jumper, I think it's what a team should expect with a 2nd rounder.

His physical profile is quite unique though, so it's also a hit or miss depending on how the coach tries to use him, and how the player develops ways to use his body to his advantage.

Devilzsidewalk · Post #38 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 6:30 pm

wait, do we even have a 2nd rounder this year?

Post #39 » by **Klomp** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 6:30 pm

Our only pick in the draft right now is the one in the lottery

If Scott Layden has any say in the draft, I hope he brings some intel from Spurs, uses his skills that had Jazz take Stockton and Malone and buys a late first/early second and gets a good player.

I like Guerschon Yabusele as well.
