2011 Draft - Who don't you want?

I kind of imagine that the agent for Mirotic either wants to be picked top 10 or picked in the second round where you can actually be paid more than most first round picks. I would love to get an early second round pick if he is still on the board.

I'm not sure, is he still IN the draft? He just extended through the 2016 season with a buyout that is in the $3 million range (not workable).
 
I am very unexcited about Kemba Walker. He ranks atop my list of guys I will struggle greatly to talk myself into at 3. Nearly every other candidate is more soft and cuddly to me.

At 12, I have an incredibly difficult time. Since I'm not in love with most of the so-called 'safe' picks -- Singleton, Thompson, Jimmer, Hamilton, etc. -- I'd probably be more excited if we traded down for a 'reach' guy like Selby, Donatas, Tyler. My personal preference might be a guy like Mirotic or Bertrans who gets stashed, but not at 12.

I'm pretty much at the point where if the 12 doesn't turn into Biyombo or JV, I don't want the guys who will be there.

I feel the same as you at 12. Singleton is a nice defender, but will his three point shot translate to NBA range to be a starting 3? If not we have a slightly larger Ronnie Brewer
Fredette is obviously not worth 12. Donatas is probably Bargs 2.0. Morris twins....meh after their shooting drills at the combine.

At 20 though I am interested in couple guys. Reggie Jackson is a baseball player, but he is also a super long, athletic PG that shot 42% from 3's his junior year. Davis Bertrans might be a soft euro, but is a pure shooter and can put the ball on the floor.
 
Kemba Walker (Poor man's Allen Iverson, not a point guard)
Jonas Valanciunas (Too Risky to wait for him to come over)
Kawhi Leonard (Best case he is Mbah a Moute, some say Gerald Wallace but I don't see it)
Bismack Biyombo (It scares me whenever draft prospects come out of nowhere like this plus he's probably 38 years old)

I think I'd be okay with most other reasonable choices. I'd prefer Kanter over Knight, then trade Sap.

Why is Fredette not worth the 12th pick? Also at the 12th pick a Bargnani clone would not be good?

Believe he is still in, but the intl players have a little more time before they must decide. Believe his buyout gets better around 2013.
 
Don't think we should take anyone outside of Irving, Williams or Kanter in the top 3

At 12 Im not sure yet. But don't want the Morris Twins.
