Yea, i think Hansborough will stay at UNC another year, he seems like he enjoys college ball for the time being, bunch of PGs in this draft, should give them a look and sign a vet big

We should draft Collison or Rush. We probably will draft Tyler Hansbrough. If we do, I will die a little inside.

Yeah, seriously Hans is not an NBA player. But I deep feeling knowing our past drafts he is who we would draft. ::banghead::

I hope he stays in school.

I guess that shows how little I know about college players. :oops: I thought it would be good if we got him, but I don't think we need another Redick type player to rot on the bench...

I'd take Tyler. Him and JJ would drive each other to new heights in their eternal rivalry and our fan base would increase 10 fold!

Why do people want to draft Collison or Augustin?? Like we need another barely 6ft PG who is a liability on defense.

Personally I like CDR, but it looks like he's quickly moving up the draft boards and might not be there when we draft.

Collison is anything but a liability on defense.

He is 6'1 with long arms, and he's a helluva defender

Collison is a very good defender, Augustin is a solid defender. Both would be huge upgrades defensively over Arroyo or Jameer.

^^ I don't know about Collison but Augustin got owned by Derrick Rose in the tournament. He couldn't guard him or score on him, and it was obviously a height issue.

No one could guard Rose. He abused Neitzel, Augustin, Collison, and the Kansas guards for the 5 or so minutes they were dumb enough to single cover him (durring the box and 1 experiment on CDR). If we aren't drafting a PG because they can't guard Rose, then we need to go back and undraft Jameer and Dooling.

Rose is simply special, what he did to Auggy and Collison should not stop anyone from taking those guys in the draft.

I think that Dooling could guard Rose he is long enough, but yeah I get what you're saying.

I also think Jameer would have found ways to score on Rose, even if he couldn't stop him defensively. He knows how to shoot over people that are taller than him.

He is long enough, but not quick enough. Did you watch Dooling try to cover Chris Paul?

If I was a betting man, I'd wagger that the Magic trade the pick.
