2011 draft.....

I don't know about the all star stuff, but Henson is guaranteed to make it in the league. He's absolutely death on drivers. I would be more than happy if he was our pick. Insanely long with insaner athleticism. The dream is he turns into Noah. He'll probably fall short of that.

He's far longer than Noah. We'll have to see measurements but he looks like a slightly bigger Jeremy Evans with a 7'6" wingspan. I am against drafting him though, he will never get to center weight, he is 210 at best now. He is older than Favors and has less offense than him. He also is looking like a lifetime 50% free throw shooter, which just kills you.
 
Are there really people here worrying about gaining weight? That's the absolute best problem to have. Almost every single player who comes into the league gains weight as long as they're bigger than 6'6. Henson definitely has a ways to go physically. But he's not some Sene. He can play.

For any other team in the league maybe... but we all wanted AK to bulk up and it never happened...

If you have the #1 pick, who are you taking?

David Thorpe (12:22 PM)


I'd consider Irving, Knight, Williams, or Barnes, depending on my needs. All have similar upsides.

Knight has climbed into the #1 discussion and I do hope the Jazz takes him if the other 3 are gone.

Some people have the frame to put on weight and some people don't. Henson has one of those naturally skinny frames that he just can't seem to put much weight on, I don't think he'll ever be strong enough to effectively play the frontcourt well.

The thing that concern's me is that Knight doesn't get anything easy. He has to make contested jumpers and tough floaters. Kudos to him for making those tough shots, but it makes me wonder why can't he create a better opportunity.
 
We all know we're below .500. More interesting though is that we're 21-34 in our last 55 games. With two out of the next three vs. the Lakers, that's what I call a freefall.
