Hawes is the same height man, he plays like a bitch too

who is Iman Shumpert?

Hawes standing reach is 2 inches shorter, and his body is not a strong

I think if we can get a defensive PF and a scorer in an Iggy deal, we'll be set. Maybe GS trades us Biendrins, Ellis, and Udoh for Iggy, Speights, Nocioni??

Jrue/Lou
Ellis/Meeks
ET/Thad
Brand/Udoh
Vucevic/Hawes

Who did they pass up that was better?? Great pick, given where they were selecting.

I actually like the Vucevic pick a LOT. He's a Center, which was a big need. He plays in the paint a lot, which fits well with Brand playing outside more. He rebounds well. He can body up on D, won't block shots or be a lock down guy, but a big body nonetheless.

He has good touch from the outside and could turn into a reliable 15ppg and 10rpg guy. That's really not terrible for a 16th pick in a weak draft.

Only time will tell. Hope Nikola can be a solid player for us.

Plus, he seems more mature than Hawes was, and already seems to be a better player in the post than Hawes. Has a good BBIQ from what I've read compared to Dalembert and Hawes. So IMO an immediate upgrade over what we had. And from an offensive standpoint he provides a variety we haven't seen at the Center position....since..well..I don't even remember.

Unless there's a trade in the works, but who would want this Shumpert guy? We needed the BPA and we took the possible WPA.

Huh? We took Vucevic. Realgm made a mistake, the Knicks got Shumpert lol.

Good pick - This is a draft of rotation players and its not like its a lottery pick where you would want a more solid pick - might as well go with a big man with some skills who has room to grow both physically and playing wise - you cant teach height/size so go big!

freshie2 · Post #377 » by **freshie2** » Fri Jun 24, 2011 1:23 am

At the very least, you now have an upgrade in the first big man off the bench and more flexibility...if he comes in and blows everyone away, you now have a new starting center.

Speights and 50... Pickup Brooks or Moti.

KrazySixersD · Post #380 » by **KrazySixersD** » Fri Jun 24, 2011 1:27 am

if he can play strong he will be an upgrade and start right away... you dont have to block shots if you can atleast play good post D and rebound.. he should be able to do that.. he can also score in the paint

i just want an iguodala trade and ill be happy
