That's not what I meant. I meant to say that they would probably be scrutinized for picking Johnson over Russell/Mudiay because teams are...
Hmm... that idea of trading down is quite intriguing.
That 3rd pick is a tricky one. If this was last year, I would pick Russell/Mudiay for sure. But the landscape has changed b/c we lucked out with...
Great post @realdeal I don't see the lockdown defensive ability from Windlow either. He's more of a Luol Deng or Ariza-type defender in that he...
I agree that both have great attitudes. They have the right mindset as pros. In Johnson I see Artest. He has that huge body as a SF. I just...
What makes you decisively say that?
Here is how I look at those odds, in order of likelihood of happening. 1. 37.8% --- Top 3 pick 2. 35.1% --- 5th pick 3. 17.2% --- lose pick to...
Those reports are going way overboard. On talent alone, Winslow is probably 4th-7th at best, along with Johnson.
I think Winslow's stock has risen. I put him at #3 with Johnson. Couldn't go wrong with either. Okafor stays put at #1. He was in foul...
:clap:
Great post, I agree that Okafor and Johnson is more fit for the NBA. My draft board hasn't changed much. 1. Okafor 2. Towns 3. Johnson 4....
Ah crap, Philly went full tank against the Knicks. Now we are locked into 4th, which is OK given where we were 2 weeks ago.
Not so quick! Although I am relieved too that the 4th spot is a lock, we still have a chance to slip past Philly.
I agree, but the market will determine his worth, and I am sure some teams would pay him 10+ million next year based on potential alone.
@JSM Why settle for top 3? I think the drop-off you speak of happens after the 2nd pick, and 3-5 is a toss up.
We could have used his services this year for the tank, but not next year.
We should implement some tactics like the "7-seconds or less" offense. If that doesn't work, resort to Wes isolation.
Yeah, we have so many holes, but with the emergence of Clarkson, the PG spot is no longer the biggest hole. Just sign Lin as a backup and make...
Huge day for the tank... Magic vs Wolves
The ceiling for this year's top 5 pick is no where near Magic/Kobe. Maybe Bynum. And we still would have won a championship with a core of...
