What's new

2011 draft.....

Biyombo at 12 would a steal to me. Kanter and Biyombo would mean we have to make a trade.

No you don't. If Memo's back, they fight it out for the 4th and 5th spots. If Memo's out, they're the backups. Regardless, Memo is gone next year. But we're going to have a 5th big this year and I could care less if it's one of them.

Edit: Totally forgot Favors. I'd still draft Biyombo, though. Rather sit Memo if needs be and have those two guys fighting for time next year along with the insurance at the 4/5. We could just forget about the whole frontline for a while.
 
If we get both Kanter and Biyombo we definitely don't have to make a trade. They are both very young bigs who need time to develop. Neither of them are ready for extended minutes in the NBA imo.
 
If we draft Vessely at 3, I will give up my fan card. The dude cant shoot free throws, can't rebound, is weak. I do like that he improved his 3% and that he dunks everything. He just screams AK to me and I don't want another AK on this team

Dont read Ford's tweets today then.
 
Having such a low FT% means his mechanics are seriously f***** up or he has the concentration of an 8 year old.
 
chadfordinsider:
Informal GM poll: Who's the best int'l player in the draft? Vesley 5 votes; Kanter 4 votes; Valanciunas 3 votes. All said it's very close

I'm down.
 
I got a little overexcited about the idea of getting Kanter and Biyombo. But in truth, I'm not wild about Kanter. It's just Biyombo at 12 is way too exciting to pass up.

This. I really want Biyombo. If we can trade Kanter or Williams to someone in the 6-8 range, get Biyombo plus an unprotected 1st next year or something similar, I'd be stoked. A Biyombo/Burks/Unprotected 2012 1st from a ****** team would be sick.
 
Yeah but with Karl you had more film to go off of. Kanter is a pretty rare case because he has close to zero film against real competition, and no film of real competition in a real league.

Yea with all that film the Mailman still dropped to 13th. If you check there were several forgettable names chosen before him. Having more film does not ensure that you will pick the right player.
