i think it's because many believe he's the best of the zeller brothers, so maybe it's also about his floor as well.

Hopefully some team picks him ahead of us because there is no way they should.

I think Ford is way off. I can't see us taking Zeller at any point to keep him. If he's somehow clearly the BPA we trade the pick.

With Smart out of the picture our chances of a player that fits a need falling to us seems very unlikely. I think it's time to get on the CJ McCollum bandwagon.

I think I'd trade D-Will for Dieng straight up. Dieng and McCollum are two guys that could help right away for a team with playoff aspirations.

Williams for Dieng is a slam dunk. Defensive center that can hit 17 footers is great. Rich Rich man's Stiemsma.
The PF rotation is wrapped up and I don't like Williams @ PF. There's quite a bit I'd trade him for.

I'm really excited for our team next year. We have a chance to make some real moves this summer.

We could potentially trade our pick if Burke or MCW to Utah for their 2 picks, moving down to take McCollum and grabbing Dieng with the other.

Given no lottery luck, pairing our pick with Williams gets us pick number... ?

Seems like Charlotte and Phoenix would make the most sense to trade down with. They could both use Dwill.

'Cats are trying to attach Tyrus Thomas with their pick instead of using the amnesty, from what I've heard. I think they'll want to keep the pick if Noel or McLemore are available.

Well no one is trading up for anyone else besides those two, especially having to take on Thomas.

Shrug. Unless some team is desperate for Burke or Oladipo.

Hate to say it, but I think hes a guy Adelman would like. High IQ. Could play next to both Kevin and Nik.

Having said that, hes a last resort, not someone he'd be actively campaigning for.

Trevor Mbakwe exposed him. Just think of what will happen to him when he's going up against guys like Josh Smith, Taj Gibson, Faried, etc. Going to get straight man-handled.

The guy I'm wanting at 9 is Gary Harris. This kid could end up being the best SG of this draft class.

He's probably the most talented. Hoping he does.

I forgot about Harris. He would pretty much be our only hope if other SG options are gone. I could see him going back to school. Hope I'm wrong though.

Post #838 » by **Klomp** » Thu Apr 18, 2013 4:55 am

Honestly, I'd pick Harris over Oladipo, and I'm thinking long and hard about taking him over McLemore. Thats how good I think hes gonna be.

I would take Withey or Len before Zeller.

I really think Tyler is a good player for NCAA and very limited for NBA. At least the former two had a either specific role or “potential”. They will be behind Pek for minutes, anyway. It would be a cheap way to get a reserve big (the most expensive position in the league to cover even if it is for a second body). Plus you can trade down due to Zeller stock compared to the other two.

Package our pick with D-Will and another asset or two to move up and do some thrift shopping.
