im still heated my ***** perry jones isnt coming out, this draft is so weak.
dont get the hype on biyambo.....i mean hes 6'8 and yall want him playin C?
real talk, i'd almost draft chris singleton. obviously hes not projected even at 12 but maybe they trade that pick for something and have another team draft him for them. he has the size, versatility, and athleticism for his position and can be a good defender. couldve been a lottery pick last year.
knight and burks should be the picks if they are still on the board
do not want kanter, leonard, jimmer, or the morris twins
terrence jones has the talent but seems like one of those guys who will never realize his full potential

What matters more, where his head reaches, or where his arms reach?
Is Derrick Favor's big enough to play Center? They are the same size.
The thing that interests me most about Motiejunas BY FAR is his court-vision and ability to pass. His shooting is nice, as is his natural feel for offense, but literally everything else about him as a player I find downright repulsive. His rebounding rate is putrid, he mails in games in a mystifying way, and he doesn't know how and doesn't care to defend (Jimmer-esque in that respect). You'd better be Dirk Nowitski on offense because you're not sniffing a championship if you have a big playing serious minutes that doesn't do the things mentioned (and well known of the kid). All I care about is a championship, and I can't see him being one of your important players if you're serious about that. There is a much stronger corollary between bruisers with little offense winning championships than purely offensive, mentally fragile finesse players that only get bruised when it gets tough, and I don't expect that to change anytime soon.
And of all the bigs in this draft, the only that seems to have the foundation for a bruiser and defensive stopper is Biyombo. To me, Kanter seems like he could be the most balanced of the prospects, but he's far from a sure thing either. Him opting to not play in the Kentucky Combine is something I am seriously wary of.

Derrick Favors officially measured 6-10.25 in shoes.
Bismack Biyombo is listed at 6-8 maybe 6-9 - so they're not quite the same size.
6' 9" in shoes. 7' 7" wingspan, 9' 3" standing reach. His standing reach is the same as Favors, and I'm pretty sure he weighs significantly more than Favors did in college.

maybe but where does that leave jefferson? if you draft north dakota you got him, favors, al, and sap. so unless you move somebody it doesnt really work. favors needs to start and get as many minutes as possible.
how bout trading with washington for their picks and maybe a future? 6/12 for 4/18. that would assure kemba/knight/veseley and take singleton at 18 to be a glue guy off the bench.

And if he is young like they say he is, then he still can grow even more.

I happen to think he's on to something here. After reading this board for the last few months, I think it's fair to say that we'd be much improved with a lineup like this:
new guy/new guy
Hayward/new guy
new guy/Hayward
Favors/new guy
new guy/Favors
