He could also easily murder with Wall. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he averaged 18+/9+ and made the All-Star team if he did join the Wizards.
He wouldn't be a superstar, but he could easily be a David West level player for you guys. He's also still relatively young and on a very reasonable contract.
Honestly I think most Wiz fans agree with this about Ersan. Many of us wanted them to pursue him in free agency last year and instead got stuck with the Okariza trade. That said, the vast majority of Wiz fans also don't think Ersan is worth giving up the 3rd pick for. There will be plenty of time to add stretch four without giving up that much and we still believe that Wall can make a number of players better in that position so it just doesn't make sense to give up the pick for him.
This.
Ilyasova could well turn out to be an All-Star caliber player in the right situation, but the fact is, he ISN'T right now. We're not going to pay the price to acquire him as if he was already an All Star. If Milwaukee thinks he is an All Star, then keep him.
Looking through the years of drafts, there are generally 5 to 6 all-stars in a draft. There were only two drafts that had only 3 all-stars. So you would hope with the 3rd pick you could get an all-star.
