DX has him currently dropping to us. If he improves his athletic ability which was probably effected by ACL i'd say he's not a bad SF to match up against Durant.

There are enough other holes on our team that we aren't forced to use 18 to overpay for a shooting guard. We also need help at small forward and center. Before you bring up Blair again, he would be a poor fit next to Love, and also a poor use of 18.


Thinking about it I agree with you, Blair probably is a bad fit next to Love. Blairs main attribute is his rebounding which is moot with Love around. The only way I see that working would be if Love is stretching the floor, Blair would be excellent in the pick and roll with Rubio.

I don't watch many TWolves games although I like the team from afar (perhaps because I had like 5 TWolves players in my fantasy team this year). I'm honestly shocked that you would consider drafting another SF, are none of Beasley, Williams or Johnson working out?

beasley - not a starting sf at this stage...more ideal for a scorer off the bench, if he has it going and is locked in then you play him heavy minutes...if he is off and not locked in then you limit his minutes significantly...adelman hates him and he is pretty much a lock to not return next year.

williams - pep's here are divided about whether he can convert to a 3...i'm in the crowd that says it's a very bad idea to even try and i don't think he has a good future there. i think he can be a very good 4 but not a good 3...i hope we trade him but not if his value is not gonna net a borderline all star.

johnson - he's clearly not a starter at this stage. happy to give him a chance of the bench playing against 2nd lines but to say he is extremely unreliable and mentally unstable is an understatement.

Beasley is gone, Williams is more PF than SF at the moment, Johnson is a joke.

Beasley is garbage, it would insult garbage to call johnson garbage. Dwill is what he's going to be, a guy who can use his hops to get to the hoop and dunk the ball. He will have a mid range game, but I never see him developing a 3 point game. But i could be wrong. At least he likes to rebound.

I would love to trade up to get a Harrison Barnes.

Dwill had a great 3 point percentage in college and has loved to shoot it in the pros, although without great success. It wouldn't surprise me if he figured it out, I actually would expect that to come before a midrange game which I really didn't see at all from him.
