We would take Frank if the board ended up like this.

Looks like it, but is seems Looney is tracking very close in your original forum poll. Also several players there aren't available in this one scored a decent number of votes. So I thought a redo was needed to really determine who the preference would be of these.

[Qwigglez]

Gotta agree with GFlops. Frank it is if that's the board.

[kennydorglas]

sry Rondae, Looney. it's Kaminsky

[RaisingArizona]

The highest I've seen RHJ go is 22 in the mocks. Is there something I don't know? I think that'd be quite the reach at 13.

[Flying Colors]

Frank the tank

I dont care about mocks at all, but DX has him at 15.

There is only room for one Frank around here.

(set up for obvious reply )

[STEV13]

Damn I'd be stoked if we land Kaminsky on draft night. Unfortunately I think some team might grab him in the Top 10.

But our original poll allowed users to pick their top 3 choices. This shows that Looney wasn't #1 with most of those users. I am a little surprised it is this lopsided, but I think some things have been realized lately that took away from Looney, like the fact he has asthma.

Ok, thanks. I agree mocks don't mean all that much but it can help gauge where thing may go. I was wondering if he was rising as of late due to the draft workouts? Any info on this, Kenny?

[RaisingArizona]

This reminds me of the one year we all wanted Jeremy Lamb and OKC took him before our pick and we got Marshall, lol. Just waiting for Utah to take Frank.

I've always felt Frank isn't the type of guy McD would draft (I don't think he's ever been involved with picking a 4 year guy) and he always talks about taking the guy with the highest upside.

If Frank is there and we pass him up this board is going to go nuts. I'd be ok if we took Turner or Looney though.

True, but I also believe he's the most ready to contribute out of the bunch too. He could be a rotation guy from the start. I think a little pressure is on Jeff and McD to make the playoffs. I don't think a project makes much sense this year. Maybe with the 2nd rounder.

Yeah, it's a problem, because Frank would fit in well with the UTA team as well, I think. Front line of Gobert and Favors with Franks shooting off the bench. That's a lot of length.

[ATTL]

At this point I would stay away from Looney because of his asthma. I would look at him if we picked up a later pick some how.

I'd take Frank or Portis with our top pick.

I agree. Especially since they have talked about not getting another vet. I think McD realizes how tough it is for Hornacek to get raw players year after year. Maybe every other year. And of course he's talked about getting vets. Frank got coached by a very good defensive coach for four years.

Yes, I think Utah will take him. If we really want to move up, I wouldn't be surprised if we tried to move up to 11. Indiana could take him too since they want to move on from Hibbert and want to compete immediately.

[ImNotMcDiSwear]

If this were the board, I'm confident we'd take Cam Payne. There's just no way he drops past Indiana, IMO.
