Im hoping one of Murray/Hield/Dunn somehow falls to us, but that's unlikely. Based on this board, I'd go D Davis.

Why do you prefer him to Chriss? I have Davis at #2 in my own personal ranking.

That's pretty much my worst case scenario in terms of picking from the leftovers.

On that note, I don't trust guys with a low motor or who are soft in college. Despite their talent, I see Skal and Chriss pissing me off on the Raps.

I'd probably roll with Davis.

Filling out will be an issue, big concern for a 4. More importantly, I've had my fill of bone headed plays and from all accounts he's got a lot of Ross between the ears.

I don't think it's that big a deal. He's barely 19 and it will be his first exposure to professional strength training. He should fill out in no time.

The main concern from his has been fouling and a lack of consistent rebounding. Coming out of school, Patterson had the same rebounding issues. I think it can be taught if the effort is there. From his interviews, he seems quite mature for a player his age. I think his skill set and athleticism are far more unique than Davis' size and hands. That being said, Davis would be my next choice.

I did. I like his offensive game and think a big guy of that size who can already shoot the ball like that is always going to be valuable.
