best case: Ben Wallace
worst case: Joel Anthony

Hassan Whiteside also has wingspan of 7'7 and is 6'10 and look how he turned out

Did Whiteside shatter Garnett's hoops sumitt record for blocks too?

Whiteside is 7ft 235lbs Bismack is 6"9ft and already 240lbs.

not to mention Whiteside was 3 years older when he was drafted, was much skinnier (as opposed to Biyombo who has a solid build now), and played against significantly worse competition in the C-USA (vs. the ACB),

No point in all these arguments right now. Wait for the lottery and workouts.

id trade #3 for Gallo, Rubios rights.

Kanter scares me with his knees, Bismack isnt worth #3, i just dont like the draft after the top 2.

Gallo...? Gallo as in Gallo from...nuggets?

yeah. Hes averaging 16,5 and 2 as a starter hes a good fit next to Derozan. Id rather him than Kanter/Val/Bioymbo, their such a risk. At least with Gallo your gonna get 15 PPG and he plays with fire and plays defense.

I'd admit Gallo would help spread the floor more and looks like a good fit next to DeKobe, but......I wouldn't give up a high pick that easily...I'd rather trade Bargnani for Gallo and some of nuggets' bad contract tho.

We already know we're picking Irving. These arguments are just for fun.

The day we get DWill is the day I change my sig and avi.

Well I'm probably the 2nd biggest Knight pusher here

I don't it's coincidence TiKusDom is on him like he was Demar. Knight is the PG version of pre draft Demar. Both guys have tremendous physical talent and no doubt just have an it factor in terms or wanting to win, wanting to get better, etc.

His biggest problem by far is decision making but I feel like that can be improved. And actually despite the turnovers and some shot selection, Kentucky felt like they had a steady aura about them, part of which can be attributed to Knight

A Knight Derozan backcourt is serious business IMO. That's just a lot of athleticism and power and determination. You win with players like Knight and Derozan

A davis biyombo frontcourt would be sick.

fixed.

So I just found out BC's dream point guard is Tyreke Evans, not Jose.

I was kind of against drafting Biyombo at first but I'm sort of wavering now. If we don't get D-Will or Kanter, who else would we take? I've seen nothing special from Val and he is definitely a work in progress/long-term project. Kanter has his question marks with his knees and lack of length/athleticism to contest shots at the rim.

I don't know about Biyombo either, we've seen a bunch of mobile athletic bigs that contest shots at the rim like McGee and Thabeet, but they have terrible footwork and offer nothing offensively. I haven't seen enough of Biyombo's offense to say much.

Praying that we get the 1st so we can draft Irving.

funny thing is i have this feeling the lottery will shake out with.

CLE
TOR
MIN
WAS
SAC

as the top 5. I think CLE would have a tough decision to make. Take D.Will and grab a PG at #8 like Knight or someone like Burks or take Irving and take Bioymbo/T.Jones/Val at 8. I seriously think they would go the D.Will route leaving Kyrie Irving as the Raptors choice.... just saying

its just this weird feeling i have.

what would you rather have if your CLE

Williams + Knight/Burks (Davis,Burks,Williams,Hickson,Vajerao is a nice team with Sessions backing Davis up)

or

Irving + Val/Biyombo/T.Jones/Vesley

id go option 1 and take Williams + Burks.

If you had a choice between
Kanter
Biyombo
Valanciunas
Vesley
who would you take? I'm not really sold on valanciunas or vesley in particular.

Post #836 » by **darth_federer** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 5:12 am

Valanciunas

The All-Euro draft. BC would wet his pants with all these choices.

My random lotto prediction based on nothing at all:

1. Sac
2. Tor
3. Cle

Sacramento takes Irving we get Williams

Stern will have to gift Cleveland the first pick to keep people happy there after the whole Lebron fiasco. He'll probably give us the second pick because we lost Bosh.
