Where would you place him? I worry about his shooting (especially from three), his decision making/turnovers, his defense... if the Wolves draft an undersized point, I'd much rather it be Lawson, who has quick hands on D and much better percentages from behind the arc. Honestly, I think if there is a PG in this draft people should be comparing to Bassy, it's Flynn not Jennings.

Flynn has a great Big East tourney and everyone is on his jock. I don't get the love.

It has been known my distaste for Jennings, but I keep forgetting him and Love played on the same AAU team. I wonder if that is something they consider. maybe asking love what kind of person he is.

Seems to me Hinrich is the perfect back court mate to pair with Evans.

I just hope we get a point guard and swingman from one of our picks... whats the odds on us drafting 3 power forwards with our 1st round picks?

Landing Evans is one of the few scenarios I actually like involving Hinrich. He could play off the ball next to Evans, and those two would immediately make us about 100x better defensively. I also think Curry could be a great fit next to Evans, if he somehow falls to the Miami pick or is available if we move up.

I agree on Lawson over Flynn, but I would definitely take Flynn over Collison at least...I'd have to think about it between him and Teague.

Hmpf, Ford now has us taking AFA if we stay @ 6 or get pushed back. A bit early for him, no?

AFA has a bigger wingspan than Tayshaun Prince, I know that's not everything, but I'd like to throw that out there

It makes grocery shopping easier because he can reach both sides of the aisle at the same time.

If you were Fagin, would you still The Artful Dodger as your #1 pick (in your pick pocketters draft) based on his high skill level, or would you take Aminu on his long arms potential?

I think with the Dickens reference you have officially become the Dennis Miller of our board. Well done.

How about Rubio? You can never be sure how those Euro stats translate, but I hear he's quite nimble and is no slouch in the wingspan department. Plus, if my travels have taught me anything, the Euros really pioneered the art of pickpocketing, so that's gotta count for something.

It's also very strange Evans is not in his top 14 yet, but somehow Maynor and Johnson are.

Do we send our new GM, Fred Hoiberg, and the death bear again?

deeney0 · Post #178 » by **deeney0** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 6:01 pm

I'm hoping to steer clear of AFA in the lotto. He can't shoot threes and can't create for himself.

Yeah, I imagine that through the next couple months, its going to even look more different. I do remember that he had Evans going to the Bobcats a week or so ago.
