I thought when threads get to 100 pages it's a bandwidth issue? This is 131 lol without Rhet no one changes these things. Where has that guy gone.

Nope. I'd do that, assuming our pick is #3 not 1 or 2.

You fail to realize The Rodman was under 7 feet.

Interesting idea.

Take BPA at the Bucks' pick.

I guess we take whoever falls from that point on with the MIL pick. I'm hoping Jan Vesely is there at 10 if that deal goes down.

I'd rather go Terrence Jones. Assuming he's still on the board

Wouldn't be surprised if Big Ben was shorter than 7ft even with the fro.
Pretty amazing

I don't care if the report was written by a six-year-old who just caught their first game of basketball. I have watched Valanciunas play, and agree with report's analysis (on most fronts), which is why I advocated it here. If a professional scout (a "definitive source"?) tells me that Valanciunas is the second coming, I would recommend that he look for another line of work.

Step 3. Pound my feet on the ground.
Step 4 (if step 3 didnt convince you). Stick fingers in ears.

Excellent use of critical thinking.

One of these guys needs a career change but which one to choose!

Burks really reminds me of Jamal Crawford. His skill set is tantalizing. If he commits to defense and improving his J, he could be a stud. Especially in a league where great slashers are typically greatly rewarded.

can big bounceless enes kanter be anything like zach randolph. Watching the grizz right now I wouldnt mind a zbo on this team so long as hes not terrible on d.

ZBo's touch is so soft it's considered quintuple ply.

Xixak · Post #1978 » by **Xixak** » Sat Apr 30, 2011 4:40 am

The reason guys like Kanter and Biyombo are so enticing is because there isn't really a starting center available in the 2012 draft (unless you count Sullinger as one which is a bit of a stretch unless he grows two or three inches).

Personally, my preference would be to get the 2nd pick in the draft and have the team that picks first just decide for us. I think Kyrie has the best chance of being a superstar, but he could also end up being mediocre as well. Derrick Williams on the other hand is guaranteed to be a great starter in the NBA imo, but doesn't have as good of a chance of reaching that elite status.

I don't mind taking Kanter if we get the 3rd pick, but I'd rather do some sort of trade down involving Bargnani or Calderon where we draft Kemba, Knight, or even Terrence Jones; and acquire a young talented center.

So have we all agreed with Kyrie and DWill off the board it's Kanter?

Not exactly, according to the big BB fans.
