Official #2 Pick Thread - BP says it's down to AW/JP

[Dr Nasty]

I know this has been said by other folks on the board, but oh my goodness you guys, how great does it feel to know we're getting one of these two great basketball players?! Never did I imagine that Milwaukee's fortunes would be turned around this drastically in 12 months. It's a great feeling with 5-6 days before the draft.

I am at a great level of Fandom Peace right now

[midranger]

Yeah. I'm a big Stauskas fan. Handle is smooth. Shot is smooth. Vision is great at SG. Good run/jump guy. Really efficient. Game grew a ton in last year. Has swag. I really like his NBA potential.

[H2tObes]

If we walk away with Jabari/Wiggins and Stauskas I'll be ecstatic. Very possible with our assets aslso

[thomchatt3rton]

Final thought, having a similar skill set as a current NBA player (i.e. Carmello) does not guarantee a prospect to follow the same career arc. Think about how short sided it is to think otherwise.

Well said.

I really like Stauskas, but someone here correctly pointed out that we could get a guy just as good at 31 in Bogdan Bogdanovic.

Chuck im pretty high on Alessandro Gentile. Whats your take? Youre the international guy..

[The Wet Whistle]

We need to find a way to get Stauskas.

This. I think I have him 6th on my board

I'm right there with you. I've got him at 5 on my personal big board. Would be amazing to pair him with our #2.

[bigkurty]

I want Smart if he starts dropping but Stauskus would be really nice. What's funny is that people freaked out about Jabari's body fat but Stauskus' is even worse and no one talks about it.

I really like Gentile. Fiery, big shot taker. Plays hard. Definitely a rotation guy. Wonder about his lateral quickness and who he'll be able to guard. He's still playing in the Italian league finals if you want to check him out.

Sanders/Knight for #7/Nash is perfect. Willing to even throw in Middleton or Arsen if necessary.

Sanders/KM/BK is probably an overpay.

[Baddy Chuck]

When you're talking pick #7 I don't mind overpaying in trivial assets like Knight or Middleton.

[JayMKE]

not giving up Sanders+assets for #7

[clutchiness]

I'm praying the Cavs take Parker; he can dribble with his head down and slowly spin into two defenders all he wants over there.

If you get wiggins then knight is a trade chip to get #7/#8 pick and a rotation big; stauskas or gordon (if he slips) would be 20mpg guys for you right away. Less bullish on Noah Vonleh.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

I pull the trigger just to watch 48 minutes of Nash and wolters passing to Giannis, wiggins and stauskas every game.

[Nowak008]

Yeah. I'm a big Stauskas b
fan. Handle is smooth. Shot is smooth. Vision is great at SG. Good run/jump guy. Really efficient. Game glrew a ton in last year. Has swag. I really like his NBA potential.

Well put. He is the JJ Watt of NBA prospects. Has everything you want- player of the year in the big 10, all the tools u could want and probably would go a couple spots higher if he was black.

Ken Berger is reporting that Cleveland is leaning towards Jabari. Would be so happy if we end up with Wiggins

That would be pretty neat, but I think Nash might call it a career if he gets traded. I believe thats the rumor.....

[MrPerfect1]

Jabari has more in common with Grant Hill than Wiggins does

o_O.

No idea how you think Super Athletic, Awesome Defensive Player, Awesome Passer, and Terrible Shooter Hill has much in common with a High Usage, Low Assist Rate, Weak Defensive Player who has a decent jump shot. Even their body types are totally different

The only real common link between Parker is playing Forward at Duke and both having an R in their 1st Name.
