Kyrie Irving

Terrence Jones <3
Harrison Barnes
Kemba Walker

I don't think we go wrong with drafting any of those players. We are gonna be in good shape in the 2011 offseason :3

Please no Grandpa Walker.

My perfect draft night would go something like this.

Land 1st overall pick
Trade pick for lower pick (still in top 5) and cash
Draft Terrence Jones
Trade cash and Miami pick to move up a bit.
Draft Brandon Knight

Knight/DeRozan/Jones/Davis/Bargs

He'd have to gain at least 30 or 40 pounds. I don't see him doing it with where he is now and the type of frame he has.

There's no way that he ever get's 16 points a game in the NBA unless he drasticly improves his game.

His upside is a guy like Sammy D if he could gain 30-40 pounds IMO.

If we get the #1 pick, I really dont't think we should trade it unless Kyrie Irving doesn't declare for the draft... He could potentially be a franchise altering PG that could make us relevant again... Doubt anyone passes on that.

On another note, this could be a very good draft for us if we're in the top 5 and everyone declares... There'll definitely be a player that could help out this team big in the future - at a position of need as well.

Whats wrong with Kemba?!

We don`t want a shoot-first point guard anymore, ..he`s not bad in passing...but will he even pass?!

Get Lamb in the 2nd round too, then we`ll have a kentucky lineup.

Knight keeps firing 3 every possession, that`s very scary when the shots don`t go in

HSOB SIRHC · Post #271 » by **HSOB SIRHC** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:24 pm

Kyrie is obviously going to be really good, but I'd rather have 2 solid young players to fill out the team. Draftexpress has Jones going 8th and Knight going 25th, so it's definitely doable as of right now. Btw, does anyone know if Knight and Irving have gone up against each other early in the season?

Jones reminds me of a Jeff Green/Odom kind of player and I think Knight can be a Rondo type of player.

I haven't been able to see the ball handling from T Jones everyone keeps talking about. Only seeing his rebounding and ability to brick 3s.

He`s having an off game today, he`s usually uses his dribble to drive to the basket...not a good game for him so far despite coming back abit strong in the 2nd half.

I rather have Kyrie over filling out the needs. You can always fill out the needs later. Kyrie could potentially change the game...he`s a can`t miss prospect.

He can take PFs off the dribble, but can he shoot and be quick enough to play SF? Doesn't seem like he would have much of an advantage athletically and skillwise from the 3 - and the last thing we need is a tweener forward.

Kyrie irvins and Harrison barnes are my favorite picks. Perry Jones,terrence jones, derrick williams are my other favorites but there all kind of tweeners.

Seriously?

Stars drive wins in this league. You can always fill out your roster later. Our whole roster except DD is a full of filler guys.

If you are in a position to draft a star, you always take the star. You never trade down.
