Harris at 6'8 225. That's a nice frame for a young SF.

Can't wait to see Walker's measurements

Really? When did he say that? Did it sound like speculation or opinion or did it sound like verbatim?

Power Forwards coming up next.

Didn't Demar also mention needing a Big with experience taking care of the paint?

Yes, as did Amir.

The problem with addressing center in the draft is that overall bigs take longer to develop than guards. But BC did say that he doesn't mind waiting for a player to develop rather than instant impact.

I think we really need rim protection now as opposed to 3 years down the road. The defensive mentality needs to come in quicker rather than later.

Those are good measurements for Kemba. He'll basically play at 6"1.

Kemba at 5. Officially on the bandwagon

Kanter's measurements interest me the most.

Truthrising · Post #1152 » by **Truthrising** » Thu May 19, 2011 4:51 pm

I wouldn't mind taking Kemba if he's 6'1

Yup, he's no midget. I wouldn't be unhappy taking him at 5.

+1

If Kanter measures out well, he won't be available at 5. If he doesnt, I don't really want him

Kemba it is.

Biyombo or walker.

They're speaking highly of Vesely. Saying he might be more NBA ready than any big man in the draft, including Kanter.

Wow. Great news for Kemba. Definitely more interested in him now.

Jeremy Tyler is really a big I'd love to take in the 2nd round somehow. Very intriguing. Was a top prospect a few years ago before he decided to skip his senior year of high school and go overseas where he bounced around. He's got talent..just young though.
