2nd round thoughts

Who do you guys like around our spot in the 2nd round?

I like the look of Tim Ohlbrecht (6'11, 235 PF). The biggest problem with him is that hes in Germany and could easily not be brought over which I think would be a mistake by whoever picks him.

Also what do you guys think of Jon Scheyer, Sherron Collins and Alexey Shved? The first two real quality college players who are unlikely to have as much success in the pros, how good do you think they could be? Shved is an interesting one, 6'6 combo guard with big potential but a little light do you think he'll make it in the NBA if he every makes it over?
 
Matt Bouldin, although the draft's 3rd tier is so deep that someone better may slide (Parakhouski?).
 
Brian Zoubek. We need a dirty, mean, sonofabitch in the middle who will put Kobe on his ***.

Plus, he might bring his girlfriend (?) along.

I like Charles Garcia, Dexter Pittman or Lazar Hayward. if you trade up, I say get Lance Stephenson, Craig brackins, Jarvis Varnado or Quicny Pondexter or Gani Lawal
 
I forgot about DaShaun Butler, who was a beast but got hurt the last game or he would have been a first rounder
 
Jerome Randle, he'd be a 1st rounder if he wasn't so small. He's projected by Draft Express to go one spot ahead of us in the 2nd round
 
Pittman. He's a beast and has some of the best upside and athleticism in this draft. Yes, I know his body fat is 20%. That's light years from where it was and makes me even more impressed considering the athleticism and quickness I saw from him this year.

Of course, he could pull an Ollie Miller and go all Private Snowball on us. But I'd bet on the former. He doesn't have that sluggish, down on his luck body language like Mr. Cousins.
 
Trevor Booker is going to be a great player coming off the bench for some team think Dejuan Blair.
Dexter Pittman the Jazz like em big and not much bigger then him. I agree he could lose soem weight and be a solid bench player
Da'Sean Butler i would roll the dice that he is going to come back from he knee injury it is only a second round pick and i like this guy a lot.
Ryan Richards who doesnt like unknown 7' british guys. all i can say is that i have heard good things agains swing for the fences
Brian Zoubek and if that is his girl freind even better. I agree he brings a nastiness
Luke Harangody short but the guy can score.
John Sheyer reminds me of a Jeff hornecek type of player
Derrick Caracter why not take a gamble on guy that was once considered a lotto pick coming out of high school. He has character issues (no pun intended) but the past year he seems to have kept his image clean
Elijah Millsap Think of Paul in as a wing
Darrington Hobson High enegry player that the Jazz like
 
Being completely serious (i.e. not Ogilvy), in going around the internet I've read serious arguments for the following guys that I think are sort of convincing:

Grievis Vasquez: Good size for a ball-handler, can run the pick-and-roll, good ball handler. On the down-side, athletically he's what you associate with the Jazz.

Luke Harangody: I think the real lesson of Paul Millsap is that if a guy proves he has a particular skill for years he probably isn't going to lose that skill the minute he gets to the pros. Harangody's track record is good enough that he clearly merits a second-round flyer if he's available.

Marqus Blakely: Poor height, but huge wingspan (7'1") and a very good athlete despite his size. Might have a future as a defensive specialist in the league given his strong jumping ability, good speed laterally, and strong block and steal numbers.

Sylven Landesberg: Productive, pretty good shooting percentages for a potential second rounder, potential character problems.

The cool thing about Landesberg is that he could get an Israeli passport and spend a year or two at Maccabi Tel Aviv for some seasoning.
 
Mac Hopson of Idaho. He played at WSU on the team that made a fairly deep run in the NCAAs. The Idaho team didn't have a lot of talent and he made them competititve. He could be a Wes Matthews kind of guy. The guy plays the point.

Or Omar Samhann of St. Mary's 6'10" 260 who average 20 and 10 this past year.
 
Some projected 2nd rounder from Serbia blew off all his scheduled workouts and scouts are pissed. Hilarious! Way to go kid!
