I would certainly be happy, very happy, with Sullinger and Drummond .. needs or not.

Agreed. A lot can happen between now and the begining of next season. Not only that, as it has been discussed on this board many times, you always draft BPA. The only time you draft by position is when choosing between two players valued equally. If it just so happens a PF is the BPA at our pick, that's who you take. Worry about balancing the roster later.

No reason to ignore PFs just because we happen to have a glut right now.

I agree with most of what was written here. Kendall is a very good collegiate point guard. Whether he transitions his talent to NBA-level will depend on him getting a more explosive first step and/or being a better shooter. My concern, at this stage, is he would be too easy to stop by NBA defenders and would stagnate the offense. The PG has to either have blow by ability or to light up a sagging defender. I'm not sure Kendall has either. Having said that, he's a very heady player and a great passer .. he needs to add strength for defense and improve his shot .. then he could be very special.

My opinion is he'll be a very high-level backup in the NBA.
 
I think my dream draft would be Harrison Barnes and Kendall Marshall. Or Quincy Miller and Marshall.

Hayward and Barnes would make for some fundamentally sound nastiness on the wings.

My dream draft would be Drummond and Davis.
My dream draft for need would be Barnes and Beal (I'm just not sure there's an elite PG in this class .. or next for that matter).
I do think that opinions will change on Kidd-Gilchrist this year .. looking forward to watching these guys play ball.

I'm not crazy about Zeller as a center in the NBA. He has a nice hook shot, I just don't see him as anything but spot minutes, imo. I also don't think he drops past about pick 20'ish.

I think there's a reasonable chance Barnes drops to 4 - 6. He should go 3, but it's a long season ahead.

If Zeller continues to improve like he has been and adds some more bulk I think he has a real shot at being a rotation player in the NBA. Very mobile and pretty athletic for a man his size. Agree that he will probably be a 1st rounder.

Yep, no disagreement with anything you said there.

I meant dream within realism. Best case we will have the #1 and #8 pick. Most likely we will have a pick within the top 7 (ours) and one outside the top 7 (GS's).

I knew what you meant, just messin'. A top 7 could possibly land Barnes. One just outside of 8 could be Gilchrist, Miller, Jones, Teague, Kabongo, etc. Anyway, love the possibilities.
 
I think Barnes is a lock for the top 5. I definitely don't see him having Superstar potential in the slightest, but he could be a perfect 2nd option type player. I guess it all depends how the lottery balls land and if the teams drafting need a big man like (Perry Jones, Drummond, Davis, Sullinger) over a wing like Barnes. I think the only wing player that has the potential to be heavily considered over Barnes is Miller because he appears to have Superstar potential.

I'm on the Anthony Davis and Brad Beal bandwagons. Both could be really special players. I agree that there doesn't look to be a top PG in the draft, unless Beal and Rivers can play combo a la D.Wade.
 
Kendall Marshall is the Black (half black, maybe Mexican?) John Stockton. He is destined to be on the Jazz.
