I was hoping for Jeremy Tyler, but it looks like he is gaining steam...

2 guys on the radar for me; Shooter Scotty Hopson of Tennessee or DeAndre Liggins of Kentucky.

Hopson will take a few years to develop but could be a nice cheap addition.

Liggins brings the ultimate hustle, effort and defense. Can he take that to the next level? I think we could do worse if Liggins is already gone. He was the glue to that Kentucky team this past year.

A small piece to add to what hand we are dealt after maxing out Joe and dumping Bibby. This might be as disappointing offseason since drafting Boris Diaw in '03. Sund truly has his work cut out for him this offseason.

I want us to get a center in the draft, their are a few who may never be starters. but I feel they could be solid back ups. Michael Dunigan, Greg Smith , Keith Benson, Jeremy Tyler, and Josh Harrellson.

I think we could crab one of these guys and stash on in the D-league for a year or two and finally try to develop center.

I think no matter who we choose will be on the bench this year. Cap limits, lots of open roster slots for a team who has to fill out a roster with several minimum cap players.

We have Joe/Josh/Al/Marvin/Zaza/Kirk/Jeff and probably Pape/Jason/Damien. That's 10 players with openings for 3 more minimum. That gives us 2 more additions outside last year's roster, and our one draft pick. Right now, it looks like we are an average lineup.

What direct link do we have with the D-League? Is it Utah?

I think we can get something USeful for the bench.. Scott Hopson is a guy I wouldn't mind having as a starter if we can shed Marvin and obtain maybe Kosta Koufos or Anthony Randolph..
