If Kahn does want Jose I wonder if he is willing to do a Andrea + Jose + 5th pick for their 2nd + Flynn.

That would be pretty bad for them. I can see us making a deal with them and swapping 5th and Barbosa for 20 and then us scooping up Flynn, Hayward and Randolph and picking Noqueira at 20. We would have to conclude that Flynn has more upside than either Knight or Kemba to do that.

I'd do that just to get Randolph. He still has more potential than anyone in this draft and has proven himself when given minutes. Flynn is just sweetener.

In such a weak draft you should go for highest upside.. in that case... you roll Knight. Nobody we draft there is going to make much of an impact next year anyway.

I could see Kahn buying into a Bargnani trade for the second pick. With Rubio coming over and a rebounding machine at PF, they could use a mobile five who can knock down jumpshots from anywhere on the court.

Hell.....I'm considering Biyombo with the 5th pick now.

He wasn't on my radar at all, but..........I have no idea anymore....

TDotRep · Post #849 » by **TDotRep** » Wed May 18, 2011 1:54 am

3rd would have likely been a bit of a reach for him, but 5th is certainly reasonable to take him

Knight is the guy with the highest upside, are you sure? His ceiling is probably being around the 12th best pg in the league. Not saying you're wrong but wouldn't a guy like Vesley or Valalalacunias have a higher upside?

Me too, by no means am I on the bandwagon but Kanter seems out of reach after the incident.

Hey Minny has screwed up before, things can happen for us in the draft. Ed fell to our laps. Maybe people aren't sure about Kanter?

The word is that the pick will be traded for veteran help. I think they want a more impactful two way player. Remember, the Wolves were a pretty bad team defensively. Worse than us, I think. So I see them wanting a really good shooting guard. Not sure who, but Andre Iguodala would be a Godsend for them. SG is their weakest position.

I honestly don't understand how anyone could be that high on knight, he hasn't shown much that could translate to the nba.

Well, it certainly doesn't hurt to take a look. But let's hope Kahn becomes enamored and takes him @ 2. :lol:

if biyombo is really 18 his upside is tremendous.
