Each year.

Until we have a true Center.

Then draft another.

Start all over again.

Peter Fehse over Luis Scola
Nick Collison over David West
Robert Swift over Josh Smith
Johan Petro over David Lee
Saer Sene over Rajon Rondo

the thing about Jordan and Whiteside is that both guys were projected to be lotto picks but fell to the second round..... nobody has Melo and Ezeli projected as lotto talent.

Zeller and Leonard are both projected to be lotto talent, if either guy happens to fall like Jordan or Whiteside, then great!

Low rd 1...it's a crapshoot in general. ATL...solt their low rd 2.

If Atl can get a C who's at least apt to become useful...may be the best bet,but often there's a solid guy who'd slipped,and the role of need guys are at best no more than who you find as pure scraps.

Not sure who'd be better than Benson...who was not used or kept.
CENSORED... No comment.

scouts are just saying that he has vision and basketball IQ of Jason Kidd, and watching alot of ACC, i agree.

what is interesting about Kendall is that he is a 6'5, 210lbs PG with a Jason Kidd basketball IQ

at 6'5, 210lbs, he is basically the same size a Jamal Crawford or rookie Stackhouse

BTW: "shorter armed Anthony Johnson", you know he is 6'5 right, so who the hell cares about his arms when he is a PG :rofl2:

You really need to think things out better before you embarrass yourself. You're bragging about Jason Kidd-like BBIQ without the athleticism? It was the athleticism that made Jason Kidd a HOFer. You're saying Marshall is like a 40-year old Jason Kidd? Greaaaaat.

By the way, you mean 6'4", right? Sorry to quibble about one inch, but since I'm being called an idiot...

Again, THINK before posting. Where did I say draft a Center every year in the first round? If you'd read even a little, you'd realize I was talking about projects. Now, if a good project emerged, worthy of a 1st, that's different.

Big hint: when the other guy posts something so dumb you cannot believe it, it's probably because YOU didn't understand what he was saying. To then shoot off your mouth (or keyboard) is self-embarrassing.
My mother told me, she said, "Elwood, to make it in this world you either have to be oh, so clever or oh, so pleasant." Well, for years I was clever; I recommend pleasant.

Jason Kidd basketball IQ without the athleticism... i guess you never heard of Steve Nash, Billups, or John Stockton :lol: :lol: :lol:

your post are just funny and idiotic :lol:

i guess you are back peddling about your comment about "Drafting a guy who has a chance Each year Until we have a true Center" because you now realize how stupid it is :rofl:

you should just stop posting until you learn basic grammar :rofl2:

Son (I assume you're young - you act that way), I'm going to leave you alone after this. I'll not help you embarrass yourself anymore. I never said draft one IN THE FIRST ROUND - which is what you are mocking (because you refuse to think). I said draft one every year - that could mean take a project (which is what I've been talking about) - until we get a good Center. So, no, I'm not "back peddling" one little bit; YOU aren't reading well.

I'm glad my poor grammar is making you roll on the floor - just wish I knew what in the world you're talking about.
