If Gallinari drops to us at 10 I'm gonna pray I eat my words (see another thread for that explanation) and have Speights fall to #21. That'd be like the greatest draft in years for us.
After Beasley, Love and Arthur, Bass will probrably be better than any other big in this draft.
He could be better then all the bigs in this draft, probrably not though.
Bass, if given a starting job at the 4 with big minutes and a lot of touches could be a very succesful PF in this league.
In Dallas he comes off the bench because you need a true 5 in their with Dirk and they need a legit post up and scoring option/spark off the bench.
By the way, I may eat my words, but I don't see all the hype being deserved that Speights is getting.
I don't see him being much more then a Reggie Evans type, and I am not talking about him coming and playing that well from the jump either.
After Love and Arthur come off the boards there really aren't many big men that wow me in this draft.
There are definitely some quality looking prospects, but none any better or even as good as the 3 young bigs we already have assuming we resign Curly.
On the other hand there are numerous SG/SF prospects that look like they have all the makings of Allstars or at least consistent starters ala a healthy Q Rich or maybe a younger Morris Peterson or a Tashaun Prince.
