I agree. If people are nuthigging P.Jones so much then why aren't they equally as excited about Henson - who is pretty much the same sort of player?

Henson can't score outside of 4 feet and is probably the worst FT shooter in college

That's a red flag; Kanter also hasn't proven anything in college, people are judging him entirely on his performance in high school (Harrison Barnes?) and in all these Euro Championships, that's not enough. That's entirely potential
Kanter may be the Ed Davis of this draft class IMO. I won't be surprised if he falls to the 9th-12th range

Also, Williams can play SF as well.

Not with Kyrie Irving on the board, he's not. I would take Kyrie a million times out of a million over Derrick Williams, especially for the Wolves who desperately need an upgrade at the Point.Also, Williams can play SF as well.
So can Beasley, Johnson, Webster, and Brewer.

We'd get the same treatment if they take Williams. "Aren't there two best players PFs?" "Looks like Love is back to playing 10 minutes a game." Etc. Etc. Etc.

This is what happens when you have a lot of mostly unproven talent on a team.
Minny will have to either take the BPA or really reach as the draft stands now.

Which is why they should take the only guy at the position of need, Irving. Right now, Flynn is not an NBA starter and Rubio is a complete unknown.This is what happens when you have a lot of mostly unproven talent on a team.
Unproven everywhere except the forward spots. Love is an allstar talent (regardless of whether he makes the team or not), and Beasley is putting up 20 points and 6 rebounds per game.Minny will have to either take the BPA or really reach as the draft stands now.
How would Kyrie be a reach? You have him being drafted one spot down. I would argue that he's the BPA as well (and he would be everywhere in this draft).
