2011 draft.....

Watched Harrison Barnes again today, still relatively unimpressed. He looks like a late lottery pick to me. No doubt the kid can shoot, and he has good size and good defense. I wouldnt be upset if we took him, but at hopefully we can go for more of a home run. I can see Barnes being a player like Rip Hamilton or something, a really good complimentary player, but never a star. I think his draft stock is only so high at this point because he is still riding the hype of coming in as the #1 high school player.
 
Watching Nolan Smith today. He is indeed nasty. Could possibly have a better NBA career than Harris.

He is projected to go in the top 5 right now and if UNC makes a tournament run he could easily go #1.

Which is why I"m rooting so hard against UNC. He realizes his potential more and more with each passing game. I'm falling for this kid. I cant decide who I like better - Barnes or Kanter.
 
Would anybody trade our 6th pick in next years draft (if that is where the lottery puts us) for Evan Turner (philly)?

Question is whether 2nd pick in last years draft better or worse than what we are getting in next years draft?

I know Turner is looking like a bust but at the 6th spot in the upcoming draft isn't looking that great right now. I am not saying I am for this because I am not sure how good Turner would be for us. But I wanted to know what everyone thought about an idea like this?

Or Is there a player who hasn't lived up to there draft position from the last couple of years that you would trade our 6th pick for?
 
I didn't see enough of Turner last year.

Anyone see enough they feel confident in ranking the following: Evan Turner, Harrison Barnes, Enes Kanter, Jan Vesely
 
There is no NBA message board that would have as little patience for Turner as this one. His shot is as ugly as Brewer's. Check out any youtube clip. He's got literally one hand on top of the ball and his release has a hitch in it. His shots make T-Mac's look like rainbows. He might literally be one of the worst 5 shooters at the 2 in the game.

Ya I went back and looked at film and also looked up scouting reports. He isn't a catch a shoot player at all. He wouldn't be good for us. He needs more of a shot to work for us.

Anybody else we could trade for with this pick? I am just not liking what players available. They all look like role players. Nobody stands out to me.

I havent watched him play at all this year, but in college he was pretty lethal from mid range.

I didn't watch a lot of him in college. But I've seen a handful of Sixers games this year. It's an ugly shot. My theory is his mid-range success (or whatever success he had) was predicated on his shooting off the dribble from midrange. Slower, smaller defenders, doesn't need great elevation, an extra tick to aim it in. AAA power, lots more trouble against major league pitching. His mechanics are a nightmare.

How about Paul Millsap, and someone else, nets pick for Tyreke Evans and Thompson. Evans regressed from his rook. Season would the Kings go for this?
