It's funny you say that, cuz I was wondering if he's been waiting to say it but didn't for that very reason? #2 does get more money than #3 pick.

Curtis is pretty small compared to Enes. Plus, he already has alot more skill and power moves than Curtis had. International players are generally more polished when they start out. I think worst case is he's a reliable backup. Maybe a slightly better Araujo. Best case is he puts up All-Star numbers. I'm not 100% sure he'll be ever be an MVP type of guy, but I do think he'll be a "big" help. Pardun the pun.

From what little I have seen of Kanter Araujo isn't nearly as quick and agile as Kanter. Kanter moves around the court on offense more like Boozer and on D if Boozer ever rotationed on D. At the center position that will be a large upgrade in athletic ability for us.

Nice find, at least we know he's still working on his game and playing.

of course he is! Kanter could run a clinic on how to work your game during a work stoppage.
Funny, maybe he does. Maybe that was at Kanter camp?

Well it says "Coming Soon." My guess is we get the Nose next. The suspense is killing me.

borchardt has skill and power moves, too. he was a projected lotto pick and only fell because of injuries. just sayin'.
either way, i'm not trying to compare kanter to borch, or araujo, or anyone. i guess i'm just trying to keep our expectations honest, because around here everybody's talking like he's a sure-fire star, when the vast majority of draft picks max out at something far south of their draft-day potential. instead of taking best-case on all four of our recent lotto picks, we should probably recognize that it's just as likely that a couple of them don't pan out.
