With that logic, Bargs would be a SF also

You obviously trying to troll, you know nothing about mr.jones.

Well let me see, I've watched him play about 8 complete games this year and yourself? What are you basing your opinion on?

Knight looks like **** so far. Honestly i just want Irving. Lets hope our guys continue to sit games out because hes the only one who i feel is "worth" losing because he looks like a stud.

Terrence Jones is ok and i wouldnt mind him/barnes/jones but i feel Irving is the only prospect here that can completely change our team.

TJ isn't able to use his perimeter skills tonight, Alabama is shutting down the perimeter area nice job. Knight is always so out of control trying to coast to coast 1 on 3 or something...and doesn't think when he pass....EW!!

We know what BC's move is during the draft, trade 4 american players to get 4 picks in the top 10 to get those Euros

C - Jonas Valanciunas
PF - Enes Kanter
SF - Jan Vesely
SG - Donatas Motiejunas
PG - Kyrie Irving (Euroaustralian)

This is a SICK lineup

Wow TJ is the cousin of Damon Stoudemire?!?!!

Agree completely - i would throw kanter in with those other 3 though

TJ has good power foward instinct and uses his size advantage in the paint...this makes me wonder how he'll do in the SF position in the nba....

I watched the Colorado game....

Alec Burks continues to intrigue me.... wasn't the greatest game for him but you can see
the potential and the skillset that will translate to the NBA well. Kind of reminds me of
a poormans Brandon Roy.

As for this Kentucky game....why does TJ come off the bench again? **** first half so far.

Its just how he's being used he can play on the perimeter for sure. He looks real nice! I love his motor and how quickly he get's up for rebounds!

He's been coming off the bench in last 3 games...no idea why either :-?

I wouldn't mind having him in raps lineup too, his motor can help our team in the rebounding department at SF position, he's seem smart when he handles the ball, doesn't turn it over much and can stroke it from 3's that's not bad at all, I'm pretty sure he's Kleiza 2.0 :lol:

The last thing I want for our SF position is someone without a perimeter game. DD is a slasher type, we need someone like a TJ with shooting ability to complement DD. PJ has guard like skills but is without a damn 3 point range nor a consistent mid range game.

Rapsobsessed7 · Post #1297 » by **Rapsobsessed7** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 3:04 am

heres how i rate them. For our team and based on overall potential.

1) Kyrie Irving
2) Perry Jones
* 3/4 (tied) Harrison Barnes / Terrence Jones

I put a * because its hard to really pass on Barnes. To me he looks like the only "true" SF out of the bunch i listed. Perry can be and Terrence i think is a tweener i would need to see him in workouts to determine if he could be a 3. I just cant pass on Barnes potential though, there was a reason he was so highly thought of and yes he hasnt played well but he has the tools to be a great player.

but our center shoots 3's. Cant really say that about many others centers in the league. I mean it wouldnt be a huge problem IMO.

Calderon (good 3 point shooter)
Derozan (can develop a decent 3 point shot over the summer)
Jones
Davis
Bargnani (good 3 point shooter)
