His track record really isn't spectacular. Mixed feelings right now. An undersized 2?

Undersized? 6'6 220 lbs...not sure where that's coming from.

Defenses are formed in the paint. We need a cog down low to man the paint.

Everything I found on him is that he is 6'4 maybe 6'5, with a small frame.

Great pick! Lets go! this dude will be a beast, hopefully he can lockdown wade. Now let's buy a late first round from the bulls and pick up a center

No. He has ideal size for a 2.

6'5.5 w/sneakers (will be listed as 6'6) and weighed in at 222 at the combine.

Hope Iman works on his shot.

His form is very nice...his shooting pct will go up with better shot selection that will happen with Amare and Melo getting doubled

Can he spot up shoot?

What is that site that analyzes pull up jumpers and other jumpers and ****. Those numbers would be useful in understanding what his role is going to be on offense.

what his highlight video...some guys like Rondo have bad looking shots and form. His form is very good it was his questionable shot selection which brought his shooting pct down.

But we know one he will come in and play lockdown defense! Best athlete in the draft also!

If he's as good a defender as people say, then I'm all in

blueNorange · Post #73 » by **blueNorange** » Fri Jun 24, 2011 1:37 am

btw why draft singleton when williams is the same player, granted not that good defensively but he makes up for it by being a lot stronger and a better shooter.

oh wait, you all forgot about shawne williams?

Welcome Shump. If you can hit 80% from the line, you can shoot. Pick your spots and knock them down. And play with relentless D.

Fact is, we need this kid.

He has ideal size at the 2 guard and will come in and start. Landry isn't fast-footed enough to guard SGs around screens. How many times did we see Landry get burned against Wade?

Would have taken Singleton, but Faried was a no-no. If we're truly committed to defense, I'd like to see us forge the 2012 plan, and work on getting a Center, and a playmaker behind Billups.

Well, he is a free agent.

He also tied for second in the combine bench press. He's strong and can jump through the roof.

why take singleton when you have williams who's a capable defender?

fields isn't a good defender, shumpert is
